Are there any (current) unit managers or people responsible for recruiting staff that read these forums? I would be very interested to hear their views on the ease or difficulty of getting staff (diggers esp.), whether they can get suitably qualified and/or experienced people easily, and what if anything they would do (or have done) about training up their own people. A view from that side of the fence, as it were.
A couple of years ago I heard that the position was that while units were crying out for experienced staff there were few around, but there were legions of "inexperienced" applicants for vacancies (a situation paralleled in other walks of life, I might add). Is this still the situation or has it changed?
Apologies for using the old terms "unit" and "digger", but to everyone else a contractor means the building contractor! Archaeologist is such a long word......
