Trying to hire some entry-level maintenance-type staff, and it's surprisingly difficult. Anyone else trying to find people and ending up with awful applicants? So far, I've had all of the following:
-one guy who claimed that he had zero convictions but actually had about eight or ten, several of them for assault with a deadly weapon;
-one guy who claimed to have one trespassing conviction but actually had 25 different convictions just in this state, and also 15 aliases and 5 different Social Security numbers (!!);
-a guy who claimed to have 25 years of experience in each of the desired categories but actually had zero.
It's a decent job, too, IMO, okay salary, full benefits. Nothing crazy required for someone to get hired at the first level. But man, it's hard to even meet a low bar these days with the job market what it is.
