If you'd included IFAs then you'd have succeeded in alienating nearly everyone on here who might be in a position to assist you at some time. I've known some QSs who were right tossers, as well as all those you and I've listed with whom I'd entrust my kids' lives.

Jimmy Saville helped 1,000's off kids realising their dreams with "Jim'll fix it" yet behind the scenes he was bumming them

Moral of the story, don't just a book by its cover

No. I sold my soul and went internal. I only fill roles for our business now, just so happens that my colleague and I need an admin type.

I guess Jewish recruiters specialising in Real Estate aren't on you Christmas card list then?

Where do you even start with that many to sift through?

Probably splits the CVs into a couple of piles then does Eeny, meeny, miny, moe until only 2 are left.

I don't. Well, I do. It's all on the website so it's easy to search through / filter.

Wait. I'll do this 'live';

Total applications across the three admin roles (administrator, secretary, coordinator) = 4,438
We'll take the Administrator as it has the most, 1,983
Remove men = 1,241
30-40 yrs old = 581 left
Add two keywords (relevant to the role / business - eg; recruitment, construction) = 184 left.

Then I'd skim through them to see who's got what and very quickly work out who's worth printing to call.

I printed 60-70.
Went through them in just under an hour.
Interviewed 12 on Monday.
3 back today for second interview.
Expect to offer one tomorrow.

If only all roles were as easy to fill.

Surely you know a friend of a friend , that's how it works aye ?

One of the ones for second interview is from one of the girls in the office.
One is a walk in who saw the advert and has bigger bollocks than I can imagine (she's 4ft something and about 40kgs and just bowled in asking for me and wanted to know how she could have the job. Awesome attitude).
One is from the advert applications.

Big_Show

Just curious, why do you remove the men and only want people 30-40?

Sandboy

I got tired of hundreds of applications from folk who were clearly unqualified / unsuited to the role so tried to be clever

placed an ad in Gulf News giving clues to the company and location and invited hand delivered applications only

I got one - turned out he was related to one of our staff who'd tipped him off - he was useless

SCAMPY does appearance/looks, ethnicity come into it when you are selecting possible candidates?

Millhouse

It certainly does when I'm recruiting. I get really fed up with the agency sending us ugly receptionists.
