There does seem to be a shift towards sending the feelers out to test the labour market. It may be a canny move on the part of potential employers to advertise when a known cull has taken place. In that way, even if tenders are yet to be won, empoyers can sift the chaff from the wheat as it were and compile a pool of labour that suits their needs in advance of tendering for specific project frameworks. There are a number of advertisers currently listed on BAJR who arguably fit this model. I don`t see this as a problem, I actually see this as an indicator that things may just be about to pick up. I`ve sent my details off whenever this sort of advert has come up- in a lottery sense-you have to be in it to win it! Fingers crossed.:face-approve:
