  1. Hi,

    I have had a major problem with recruitment with 2 companies I have started, one in the UK and one in Morocco.

    It was even stranger in Morocco, with such a large available workforce, that we couldn't find anyone who wanted to work!

    In the UK I think we just contracted the wrong calibre of people.

    Anyway, that was then, this is now, and it seems I am having another human resources crisis. I have started a secretarial services company and am facing staffing issues again. I thought originally my Mum (semi-retired) would start the ball rolling, but she doesn't really want to work. I have tried to maybe outsource to India, but am worried about the quality.

    My question is what you would recommend? Should I find freelancers? Housebound workers? They would be a very ethical option as it is work they could easily do as well as anyone else.

    Thanks,

    James
