Because MOST employers are stuck with "pay" guidelines...
The problem YOU and those you have talked to (the" many employers" )about finding is the whole Employer/Employee mind set.
Many employers are JERKS. Many are not. But MANY are restricted to what they can pay and/or are willing to pay.
Mark, I'm not going to BANTER with you, which by the way I take great offense to your "bantering" on the forum. If you want to banter go somewhere else and do it.
Lots of places like the "banter".
Your "me too" posts and "yea right" have little to no benefit to MANY readers and MOST moderators.
But back to the PROBLEM...the problem to finding good employees is a two road highway.
IF the employer is LOOKING to compensate his trustworthy employees as Jim does in his business...the pool of prospects widen. MANY empoyers are microscopic. The begin with PAY.
What are your salary requirements? Is a question MANY employers ask these days and if the answer goes over their pay rate, MANY good to great employees get put into the "B" pile of candiates.
That is the problem that you and MANY employers have. Quality employees are NOT all that difficult to find...and some, perhaps MANY would even say...
A trustworthy and QUALITY employer is even more difficult to find.
