Looks like as if the location of the job was in North...IMHO4u wrote:It seems many people here are interested in knowing the current trends in all mystic world of UK jobs. I am no expert, but can share a recent experience at my company.
Our requirement was 2 people, one for a testing role and another for a Java developer (we were looking for 2+ year’s experience, recruiting after a gap of 3 years!!)
Total number of applications for both roles, 951 ! (Our lone HR person was hit by this hurricane of people, some even applying from India, but job was never advertised in INDIA! ??? )
After screening the applications, we found that most if not all are highly skilled only (funny, because there was a government which made us believe in shortage of skilled people, thats a lie! Atleast from what we have seen)
Completed telephonic and got it down to 10 each for interview. (all applications from INDIA rejected without telephonic, but again, majority applications within UK were from Indians as well, most on tier 1 or residency! ... thank god, no paper work)
Yes, almost 10-20 of them were very good and great experience, plan was to get java guy for around 31K and tester for 26K (we are a small company). In end, we got Java for 22K and tester for 17K and people were willing to go down on that, but we agreed as below this was bit sad.
What this shows, at least in IT, UK is almost full, very less jobs and most high skilled people are in this domain. Also, this makes UK best place to start IT business, you can get people to code for price of administrative stuff and make good profit.
What makes you think so ? Not picking on you, more curious than anything else!namastelondon wrote: Looks like as if the location of the job was in North...
Employing someone with very low salary would hurt your company in long term. The new hire probably only work to survive, and will jump once better opportunity arise.IMHO4u wrote:
Yes. North-West ... ! But again .. 951 .. I mean, seriously, it was not only me but most at my work place who were a bit shocked.
Any job/service doesnt have a price tag, it comes via demand-supply .. with IT in UK .. this balance has gone all wrong. Torries come and save the day.
Bcoz i have not seen any employer looking for an experienced guy with this salary in south east/south england. I believe those guys might be looking just to survive the current climate.bym007 wrote:What makes you think so ?
