Recruitment Nightmare Week

[Brewers]

I am currently quite annoyed, fed up & downright down beat!

This week I have been interviewing for one post & shortlisting for another, both with really disappointing results:

for the first post (which has a c.40K salary & needed a degree & post grad degree qualifications), I had 7 interviews lined up over TEAMS, one person did not turn up & later emailed to say they had left their phone at home, sorry, one thought they had applied for a job in Salford & stated they had never heard of Bradfordshire (?! ?), then had the cheek to ask if I was sure I'd advertised the job correctly, one was clearly out of their depth & had obviously lied on the application & the one I offered the job to stated they only wanted a 3 day week - so why apply for a full time role?

For the other one (c.30K salary), I was shortlisting for a role that clearly stated an essential qualification for the role was a specific post grad certificate, of the 11 applicants, only 2 had the said qualification!

Right, rant over, I'm off for a lie down...
