I am the MD of a building maintenance firm employing about 200 people and I've recently posted a job vacancy on this site.
I have been inundated with CV's but 99% of them are from agencies. They are all looking for roughly a 20% sign up fee which pretty much makes it impossible for me to consider them.
I am a genuine employer with genuine opportunities for Health and Safety professionals. We have even considered forming a H&S consultancy as part of our larger group, but having to wade through a mountain of time wasters who seem to move from one company to the next every 6 months is making the process very frustrating.
More and more I am finding that most qualified professionals (of all types) in the construction industry are far too fickle and skip from one job to the next, usually chasing that extra pound note or two.
They have been able to do this, mainly because of the skills shortages that have plagued the industry for the past 10 years. But this is one company that will not consider any of these noticeable “professionals” at all costs.
We are looking for people who want to start a long term career with us. Where are these people? I'm hoping that we will see some success through this website, and find someone who has the self motivation and commitment to a proper career.
