Sorry to go off topic, but I hate, hate, HATE when people put this in job adverts.... potentially wastes the applicants time and the company's and could mean you miss out on applicants who don't want to waste time applying for a job that might pay way less than what they expect.

Anyway good luck with the recruiting :)

I agree, once I rang up a potential employer about a position where I had all the experience required and more, the smarmy conceited attitude from their HR department refusing to answer my questions about salary and saying it would only be discussed if I was successful at interview, told me immediately about the company ethos. So much so that I immediately decided I really wouldn't want to work there even if it turned out to be excellent pay.

Yes. It's always been a mystery to me why recruiters do this. Goes beyond arrogance, imo. Putting together a decent job application takes time and effort, and to expect anybody to this without knowing the salary on offer is idiotic. I never look further into a post advertised like this. Remember once asking a well known company to indicate the salary range, explaining my reasons clearly. It was beneath them to even reply to me. Some time later, when I might have placed some business their way, I didn't.

A couple of individuals have read our advert on social media for the job & simply picked up the phone and asked the question, to which they got the salary range that we are willing to pay, needless to say this is the type of individual I'm looking for, someone with the initiative to ask!

I may be wrong, but I haven't done too bad using this method for the last 26 years (other than we didn't use social media before)
Thanks for the feedback

Fair one, but if its not a secret then why not just say so in the advert. The fact that it isn't stated initially would make me think that if I rang up and asked I wouldn't get an answer, because it would have been stated initially if they were prepared to give it.

Perhaps i'm just being cynical from years of dealing with pathetic (best word I could think of without swearing) recruitment companies.

To be fair I always phone about a job if I have questions, rather than waste time on an application form or rewriting my cv to suit. In most instances it saved me time as the answers were too vague to bother, but I also went for a job I'd virtually decided against because I liked the answers I got (and got the job).

It's the ones that say 'meets minimum wage' that I won't apply for, means they'll pay the legal requirement but rarely any more. And anything that says apprentice can be replaced with YTS for those that remember it.

Fully understand your point & possibly for that reason, I can't recall when we last used the service of a recruitment company, however I'm sure they have there use.

this would be my dream job, i have no experience and have a general dislike of most people, but, I do fancy getting my fill of the chocolate truffles that appear with the coffee.

Hard to say but any bag in a box would be welcome. I love black dragon that spoons often sell, made by gwynt y ddraig (you used to sell orchard gold of theirs). Probably not your best choice though as they sell it damn cheap, better to go for one people can't get elsewhere. There was an incredible perry at the last Stafford beer festival, enough that I took some home. Swaggy will know what it was, sure it was voted best at the fest.

That would have been Oliver's Perry. . I'm quite happy for you to go back to selling bottled Dunkertons, though not at the price of £5.60, a box of anything by Hecks.

You could also try a Cider tasting day, Craft Cider http://www.craftciderltd.com/ amongst other organise them.

Any help you would like in promoting cider let me know
