Wow, higher salaries beget a higher qaulity candidates. Are you too daft to realize that?
IT MAY GET MORE CANDIDATES-—
NOT NECESSARILY HIGH QUALITY ONES-—
My brother owned a company -—had over 60 employees.
Every spring the latest crop of college graduates would flood in looking for “WORK”.
HE got his most entertainment during those weeks.
They wanted all kinds of benefits—They wanted more PAY than he was paying himself in some cases. HE told them he didn’t even know if they could arrive every day for work on time yet, much less sell his services.
HE offered lots of nice benefits—including gym membership 1 block from plant. One person he interviewed wanted the machines in his home instead.!!!
When he was asked what the benefits were -—HE said: “YOUR PAYCHECK WILL NOT BOUNCE”.
When I was a payroll supervisor -—I got an applicant that COULD NOT RUN A CALCULATOR....ANOTHER ONE THAT COULD NOT SPELL...IF YOUR EVENTUAL SOCIAL SECURITY WAS TANGLED UP OVER A SPELLING ERROR_-—YOU WOULD NOT BE HAPPY.
DIDN’T CONTINUE THE INTERVIEW.
NEVER regretted becoming self employed at age 40.
