Default DSS Dole loophole?

We are recruiting for a warehouseman - so low pay, unskilled etc

We have had about 40 applicants, of which we've had to invite 10 now for an interview.

Of the 10 invited only 2 have shown up.

Are they using some kind of loophole in the job seekers allowance to continue claiming - just be sending off application forms?

It's beginning to **** me off. Such a waste of time.

No, they probably couldn't turn up as they were too busy complaining on scoobynet about how the Poles get all the jobs these days.

Sounds typical. My girlfriend was selecting people for interviewing recently for a job in the NHS. Several of the people they wanted to interview didn't turn up with no prior or post contact. One person rang to say they had got the letter late, could they re-arrange for the Monday of the week after? Things were re-arranged but then that person didn't turn up either!
