Real-Life Decision Making -- Solution
You take on the assignment and look for candidates to fill the job.
Maybe Susan is right. With the economic downturn, perhaps more job seekers
would be willing to work under such conditions, and for so little pay.
You begin your hunt. A number of candidates respond to your initial search.
However, once you lay out the details of the job, no one seems interested.
They all say that they could find easier work for more pay. They aren't that
desperate.
"A typical thing that can be difficult to work with is when a client's
requirements are too stringent or just aren't in line with the job market,"
says David Spry, a personnel recruiter.
After much searching, you simply can't find anyone with good office management
skills who is also willing to go out to a remote northern camp for three weeks
at a time. In the end, you inform the client that the requirements will have
to change, or you simply won't be able to fill the job positions.
"You can't waste your time on an assignment that's too difficult to place,"
says Spry. "You won't get paid for it, and you will miss other opportunities."
