This is still one of the major problems for the UK job seeker.

Although I focus purely on the UK retail sector I'm sure my comments are the same for the rest of the UK. I track where the hires come from using some pretty good job posting and tracking technology. I then also do some applicant checks and get consistency across a number of my customers. This said, even though I knowwhat returns they will get, and I am happy to share this, so many retailers are led by vanity rather than sanity i.e. well, all of our competitors are on the (niche retail) site so we need to be on there as well! So, Google remains a feeding ground for some of us before the CPC goes up to $10! Yep, all very good reasons but, the employer is always slow off the mark!
