Rather shamefully, Covid wrecked my business. Thankfully I was fairly new to it before Covid hit and I was able to recuperate a substantial percentage of my assets - whew
However, I am now at a point where I have to cross my fingers as well as aggressively pursue openings in the Cambridgeshire and London area.
I did find a couple of roles for companies I know and trust - but the openings all seem around the 30+ day listing mark.
I know service retail is suffering, but my ideal role is more geared toward digital community management - so I am a bit clueless on the usual turnaround of listing to response in this field.
Any advice or info on similar situations would be well appreciated.

Why "shamefully" - I'm not sure a pandemic was in any business disaster recovery plans. If you did OK before you can again. |  | | |

Mother footers put an application in for a new job about a month ago and has heard nothing. Just anecdotal but does seem a long time in the hiring process.
Sorry about your venture, saladers. Think we've got some open roles in dev that could be remote - want me to have an ask around the tech boffs and four-eyed eggheads for ya? |  |

Surely vacancies being open 30+ days indicates no applicants?
I am struggling to fill 4 jobs, 2 of which are zero hours but likely to be more than 36pw right now, 2 are salaried BUT we've found our rate @ £3k below market rate!! Big meeting on salaries next week. |  |

I'm probably not best suited for a full-on dev role until I finish my current degree. Not to say I can't do it, but I generally stay away from SysOps and DevOps roles... for now. | |

Either no applicants or a poor communications chain during Work From Home. I know the role I really want with Frontier is 30+, but they have been cycling through holidays in the hiring team. | |

Well, if you ever want a part exchange on your soul for the almighty yanqui dollar, the offer's always open.
Good luck, buh! | |

Feel free to give us a squiz on PM if you're comfortable. I am definitely not ignoring much right now in terms of listings. | |

It’s a real mixed bag.
In several sectors the hiring market is super hot right now and hiring needs to happen quicker than I have ever known. In the past month I have hired several people within 48 hours of the initial interview. Second interviews next day have been quite common.
I guess it also depends on the role. If it is a tactically crucial delivery role things will happen quicker. If the role is a bit more strategic people may be more considered. |  | | |

My jobs are based West Drayton and are at the lowest end of the scale.
The zero hours would suit active but near retired types - car collections / deliveries, no hitch hiking necessary travel expenses covered. Our patch pretty much Swansea to Kings Lynn.
The 2 salaried jobs are for valeters. Salary is rubbish and is being reviewed.
If this is the sort of thing you'd do and live W, NE it N London there's a company in NW10 paying a £27k basic for a car detailler. | |

It took about six weeks from first application to me being offered my job. |  |

The joke is on you as I have it on good authority that J2 is actually about to be named as Jeff Bezos' replacement. He has a J in his name, there Is a J in Jeff.
The evidence is overwhelming.
In all seriousness though J2, good job - glad to hear you managed a bit of progress in a time where many of us probably stalled or went backward. | |
