It seems to be getting very hard to find people thru classifieds and job adverts these days. Weve been having difficulty for a couple of years now finding suitable employees thru adverts so weve started churning thru people from the labour hire companies (Adecco, Skilled etc) until you get a good one. Its hard finding good workers out of these people but you get to churn them over fast until you do find who you are after because you dont have to worry about paperwork, you just fire the slack/incompetent ones and order replacements the next day until you find the good ones and offer them the permanent positions.
I agree with you, the last 2 years, especially, have been difficult finding quality applicants.
Thanks for your input J_D.
When i'm bored and decide to read the local rag, i'll flip through the job classifieds, there seems to be more jobs aimed at the younger generation in the local paper anyway. The Age tends to have more jobs for very experienced people i have noticed.
The POSITIONS VACANT section of local papers seem to have heaps of jobs for younger girls and boys.
We are looking for an experienced worker and a trainee, so age isn't our biggest concern. One of our prerequisites is they must have a licence and can drive manuals. At the moment it is difficult to find people with a half descent attitude, work ethic and a little bit of initiative.
We don't grind people into the ground like some places, but we do expect people to step up when required.
well im currently looking for a job in the automotive industry but im in nsw.. and at the monent the only real jobs i could find to apply for are with jobsearch and a couple in the local paper.
but most of the time if u really want a passionate person 90% of the time its the person who walks off the street and asks for a job as they want to work for U not that they just saw the ad and want a job and cars might be cool lol
Maybe jobsearch is another option. Thanks, just signed up to this today.
Good luck with your job hunting VLDavo.
Perhaps there is too many options for job seekers over the past 18months or so, as we have not had 1 person come in off the street asking for a job in that time. Advert responses have been very very low. Is employment in Victoria or even country wide really that strong at the moment?
I wonder if any of the online networking sites are worthwile? Can anyone comment on that?
