Screening & Qualifications

[Guest guest]

>i'd be interested to know how you screen the people that you

looking to hire and what qualifications you insist on.

This is really a problem in most agencies... Including mine.

We only require 10 wpm in typing..... we're currently using two

computers and will soon have another....

We also require a written test.... the applicants are sent a

study guide with all the answers... then take the test on

testing day.

So... basically... we have no qualifications.

There's a reason for this.....

The pay is so low and the conditions are so bad.... If we had tougher

qualifications, we would never be able to hire anyone....

The " catch 22 " in this is that state personnel says they can't get

us any more money.... because our hiring qualifications are so

low...
