Elaine,
I had the same problem here in Ireland, advertisign for florists for over 8 months without anything - plenty of flower arrangers but no forists applying with me.
So I contacted a number of recruitment agencies in Poland and I wan overwhelmed by the response, great candidates, plenty of retail experience, hard working. I am going to bring over 2 or 3 to work in my florist and garden centre.
It seems strange to brign someone over from eastern europe to fill a flroist vacancy but the recruitment companies do all the initial spade work for you and they send you CV's - do a phone interview with them first to gauge their english and then bring them over for a month trial.
It is the only way I will be recruiting staff from now on. Any I have had in the past have been more than excellent.
