How hard can it be to recruit someone? Very, so it seems.
I am on a look out for a Print Room Manager to run a small set up located in Wembley. All they need is some people management skills, a bit of technical and financial noddle and good IT skills and a willingness to learn. The money, isnt brilliant, it never is with Xerox, but its ok, circa £20k i reckon. We have interviewed 10 poeple and all of them are just lacking something, in one way or another. So, do you out there in org land know of anyone that wants a job? |

Keith, for 40k i'll do it...no hang on i am doing it for half that. The print trade is shocking at the moment and unless its a Law firm, then its all outsocurced, and thats all about bottom line im affraid. I also hear you about getting the right person. Its a lot harder than you think it would be.
Tim - Got any jobs? Sadly its only a small print room hence what they are offereing. They may offer more, but probably only 5k more than that. As i say, im not on a huge ammout more than what they are offereing and im currently doing 2 roles. Oh the joy. Anyway, im bitter and have worked for them for 12 years, so just ignore me |

Sorry Viney. If you re read my post I wrote paid, not pay. When we cut staff at that site by 80% the print room went as they no longer handled large volumes of drawing/documents. It did involve more than simply running photocopiers, they also had a few high speed A0 scanner/copiers/folder/printers that they had to copy/scan all incoming suppliers drawings on, index into the appropriate systems etc. as well as managing all the imaging for a 1000 person office

Crikey, our apprentice is nearly on that, and our engineers are pushing £30k.
Maybe there is a correlation between the offering and lack of candidates...
