"They've cut down the number of experienced interviewers, replacing them with inexperienced people from a high street recruitment agency. So somebody working for Greggs, been unemployed, and next week, they're doing the job of interviewing." Home Office whistleblower #C4News

@implausibleblog I worked with the DFEE in the 90s. My company won a communications tender for a childcare recruitment campaign. Our gov 'client' was a 21 year old from the job centre with zero experience but all the responsibility. I could have swindled him easily but chose to mentor instead.

@implausibleblog This seems to be common across many public services during the last 13 years. Get rid of experienced staff - hire new staff but minimise training.

@implausibleblog @StevePeers this is very reminiscent of the people you meet in the failing “back to work “ companies as well it’s tell tale sign that the conservatives have ravaged through your department

@implausibleblog Nothing wrong with having worked for Greggs I would think. They are a successful company and the staff seem happy enough.

@implausibleblog @AlladinNoons There was a guy who rang Shelagh Fogerty yest, said he worked for Immigration Services. Might have been a low level job arranging accommodation, but he didn’t really have any grasp of the facts, said him & his family would be better off if they got in a boat & sought asylum too.

@implausibleblog I’ve been saying for ages, why doesn’t @HMG appeal to the army of retired Civil Servants to come forward to work for the @HomeOffice on a temporary basis to assist in the processing of asylum claims. I would be willing to do it, and I know others who would too #stopthismadness

@implausibleblog It's not new, I got offered a job working as an immigration assessment officer 13 years or so back when they were trying to replace expensive solicitors with cheaper laypeople. I have zero experience.

@implausibleblog Not surprised, they opened a new office in stoke. Their high skilled high wage jobs were advertised at 22k a year...

@implausibleblog That assertion on the quality of the interviewers could be turned right round and focussed on so many C4 and BBC interviewers-never mind the often coarse continuity announcers. For sure.

@implausibleblog Why would they deliberate do that? What do you think the “experienced interviewers” are doing now? And do you realise these people will all be Trade Union members and you are slagging them off? You chippy dicksplash
