Advertise it at the minimum wage, state you want the ethnic majority only and you will have hundreds of applicants

Unemployment is at one the lowest it's ever been mate, and that's good but there isd a downside - in Kent there must be thousands of illegal immigrants because of the docks

Most of the people at agencies are complete buffoons, my opinion is if they have to register there, then they havent tried to find a job and i hate using these sort of people, Polish galore down here, but they have all got jobs, i cannot wait until the Romanians and Bulgarians are here, maybe i will have a choice

I know what you mean; I’m putting together an IT department from scratch, and am having difficulties finding any decent staff to fit the job specifications. Needless to say I can’t even pronounce 70% of people’s names on their CV’s that are coming across my desk. They’re all foreign. Where’re all the local people?

it's not that there's anren't any unemployed people about, it's just that they are unemployed because they are unemployable

the amount of fuck nuggets i get through the door asking if there are any driving jobs goning over the weeks is unreal, most of these guys from the agency also wouldn't make the grade if their test was done on a pedal trycicle, so fuck knows how they made it past the agency tests

i sent one guy packing last week for fucking up btu i also sent another agency guy back home after he showed the mechanical sympathy of a 2 year old throwing an tantrum

You building that moat then Richie?

Why not go and park outside a warehouse and put a sign by the door for when they leave ''hate your job? call 0800....'' it's not stealing if you don't abduct them
