Hello Geoff & Cyberdog
Plenty of applicants (wrong skills mix, or lacking relevant experience). We fail to appoint, (and then we re-advertise) because in an ideal world we want staff who can contribute from day one (not after a lengthy and costly training / induction phase).
To attract such experienced staff, you need to provide the appropriate attractive job package
The topic is current vacancies Geoff, (not student bashing) but in the interests of free speech, have your say.
Cyberdog - I agree, Senior ***** Assistant, sounds like a retail post.
Also Agreements under Agenda for Change seem to be going out of the window, just look at some of the posts which advertise salaries structures outside agreed Banding structures.
Watch this space....
