"Team of 16 employees from major ISP willing to leave as a group," the posting read. "Total minimum bid would be $3,140,000."
Although the team did not sell, it does open the idea into your mind that in certain areas and with certain skills it might be possible to market group of skills collectively and get a number of people hired.
For example:
Complete trading team (this is pretty common)
Entire sales department
7 Accountants
6 architects
5 engineers
4 systems administrators
3 French hens
2 turtle doves
And a partridge . . .
Joking aside, why not market a group as a package?
If you are laid off, why not ask your former employer to create a website, complete with domain name registration, web design and the like for everyone affected to have their resume available for search?
