Recruiting new staff

Hi all, I work for a food wholesaler. And getting staff is near on impossible!

Anyone else running a business having the same issues?

The CV's come in, they either don't answer the phone/email, or they don't turn up for an interview.

It's like people don't want to work, or they want top dollar, but don't want to put the effort in.

What's the salary?

Starting on 23k, potentially going up 25-26k. Not a bad starting wage tbf.

It's not no, but then again, with how the country is going.. its the new 16k.. which is poor.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Is that Aussie dollars? Because that's around £13k. Not a lot of money.

NO, sterling.

This has been me this week. Popped my cv on Reed and have received a call/text/whatsapp/email/linkedin every 10 mins since. Impossible to process all that information, so loads of them are just sat there in a queue.

Biggest problem now is you sift through the CV's, call people and confirm an interview. Then they don't show.
