Its hard to find qualified people, and to hire them! =P

Well if we put it simply that's how life is. Because you are getting paid for what you do right? That's just fair. But if you see from their point of view those who you state as "qualified" candidates had their own target to reach too. They ready to give their time as substitutes to find a better offer. For most HR staff I understand that this process is kinda annoying but if you could see more into the candidates reasoning you might as well find surprises. Because not all of them are aiming for best offer which valued can be measured. Some of them might just found that the job it self after the interview too demanding than they thought it would be or other reason as simply as they do not like the experience the had during the interview because the staff doing the interview might as well represents the company. They can't understand that or find that clue until the interview process happen right? I do have experience on my own in a company that gives 3 months evaluation period for a permanent position. After 3 months passed I decided to quit because well it's proven that the job description given during the recruitment process are incorrect. The company tends to give more tasks and responsibility than they described earlier. So I think the interview process it self can be used by the applicants to measure what they would expect inside the company it self. Not just for the "offer".

Hi ChiY ! In our country , politicians , connections plays a role in the employment . it is more on whom you know than what you know. This is sad but this is the truth ! People who have degree and who are qualified is always being outwitted with those applicants who have connections . That is why some professionals preferred to work abroad than stay in our country unemployed.

:) Yes, that is the story always. When the economy evolves and life becomes easy, the next batch of people coming are usually a bit laid back and it gets difficult to get good people. Then there is a recession and some people get laid off etc. and suddenly the next lot is more keener and willing to go the extra mile. So it just goes in cycles. Cheers! Ram

I ahve gone on interview and god through , the after I dont want the job because I learned about the company and sometimes it dont suites me . If I was desperate then I would take the job and look else where in the mean time lol so I guess maybe it is really as hard to find qualified employee if you cant provide the benefits they are looking for .

We used to have the same problem about qualified applicants. That is why add another question in the application form if they have any other pending application from another company. Not only does it tell us that the applicant is not i a rush since he or she has a lot of options, it also serves as an FYI if ever the applicant has been applying with competitors as well.

Yes definitely you have a point there. if they are undecided, why at the first place send you their resumes and run both of your time to know each other and end up thinking about it at the end. We really dont know. Another point is, that's actually normal and and happening for almost every applicant everyday. sometimes hopelessnes and hardness to find a job that suits them makes a realization to just forward a resume to certain employers and hand pick those jobs shortly after qualification process.

Thanks for this discussion What you are talking about is true, many have fake documents, experience certificates and some carry so many 'recommendation' letters from political persons, in the past i have done many interviews as expert or resource person; to recruit lectures and junior posts; what annoys me is; during the interview you get calls from those political leaders, ministers even; i have never obliged them and appointed the right person only.

I think skills can be practice .I notice most employer only look for a qualified one rather than loo at the person's character my past work have been bankrupt by qualified people and qualified 'smart' to fool their boss so they can kickback money without his knowledge.skills qualification can be learn. but the character. It is Him it is inborn.no matter how qualified people are just like what you experienced but aren't professionalism and blackout when they called is not an asset but liabilities because of having such kind of attitude,that only means she applied to many company which is normal to most applicant. When at first he shows his negative character.Will the company be successful if the employee will be like as this.
