When Recruiters Go Bad

A Connecticut owner of a staffing firm, Kathryn Clark Melanson, is in a heap of trouble with the state after she stole more than $95,000 from her own father.

Melanson, who also wrote an employment column for the Journal Inquirer, has had her column pulled by the newspaper.

Looks like she'll be needing some good advice - from a lawyer!

Employment columnist may avoid theft conviction
By Alex Wood , Journal Inquirer

The head of a Hartford-area employment agency, who writes a nationally syndicated employment column, has a good chance to avoid conviction on charges that she stole more than $95,000 from her father using a power of attorney he had given her.

The employment agency head, Kathryn Clark Melanson, 48, of Old Saybrook, was admitted to the state's "accelerated rehabilitation" program in late July in New Britain Superior Court. If she successfully completes two years' probation, the larceny charges she is facing will be dismissed.


Under the name Kathryn Clark, she writes a newspaper advice column known as "Employment Today." The Journal Inquirer published the column weekly until she pleaded guilty to a federal tax crime in April.

Melanson also is chief operating officer of New England Personnel of Hartford LLC, a Rocky Hill-based employment agency.
