One thing to keep in mind, too, at least from my experience...a lot of "HR people" have more job duties than just fielding resumes and posting vacant positions. They could be occupied with other projects, because no one else in the company is designated for it, so it gets thrown on the HR person. It's a tough time economically, like others said. I run a small company, and we're getting people sending us resumes, just looking for work, even though we don't even have openings right now.
