Busiest day of the month again – paying out lots of money today, sadly not enough into my bank account, as usual.
So, of course, this is the perfect day to have interviews for a new recruit!
Longer term sufferers of this blog may recall my staff issues raising their heads last year.
Well, the temp we got in to cover that job announced that he wanted to leave shortly, so we’ve had to start looking for a permanent solution.
Unfortunately, we have had a bright, new initiative in recruiting: we don’t advertise in the press, we advertise on the internet instead.
This means that we save lots of money, because job adverts in newspapers are silly prices.
The down side is that we had 30 application forms requested, and a grand total of 3 returned!
None of these candidates sound like the ideal person, but we’re interviewing them all, with the proviso that we don’t have to accept any of them if they’re bad.
The little test I’ve designed should help separate the wheat from the chaff.
There may be blog worthy material in this…..
interviewee stories are always the best. there are some strange people out there looking for jobs!
G – you’re not wrong!
