Milkround.com spokesman Mike Barnard says: “Recruiters can’t expect their reputation or a clever minimal advertising campaign to deliver the right candidates. Very often those with the best skills will be looking for an exact match for their talents which a vague suggestion of what the job might entail won’t deliver no matter how suitable they are. Information about location and salary are key too.”
