Thanks FI for posting this.
I ahve many comments on this.
Most jobs now go through job agencies, head hunters. I believe
some graduate anmd diploma holders may be going for better
prospects and pay. But there are a group of people with such
qualifications that really need a job to at least make ends
meet.
when a job advertise (by employer direct), a candidate can write
in and deal direct with the company hirer HR - they go on with
their reviews and interviews.
Th problme comes now with head hunters job ads. They advertise x
dollars. But when an applicant see is suitabble and wanna get the
job for x-y dollars, that is lesser pay, the head hunters usually
will not select these applicants for interview event if they are
match and very suitable for the post.
Becasue these HR are now swayed to pushing the applicant with
the highest pay demand to the salary as posted in the ad. They aare
earning commision of the advertised salary and they qill usually
push for the highest even if an applicant is not suitabl than
another that is more suitable.
Also you see the same company same ad always appear. if you do
ever join one of them and work for a while there you will know why
these repeated postings from same companies have a high turnover
rate.
