    Reverse recruitment service?????

    I guess you could try something like CVLibrary which is designed more for recruiters to search for candidates rather than the other way round. Standard job boards also do this to a lesser extent as you've already touched on. Sites like Reed and Monster enable you to upload a CV and then have...

    Made redundant, Got new BETTER job. But missing old job and even dreaming about it!

    OldWelshGuy is spot on here. Has PTSD written all over it. Suggest you go to your GP and explain the situation. PTSD can turn into something quite nasty.

    SEO company failed to deliver and have pulled the plug on me after £2800 spend

    Its cheap for a reason. You'd be paying upwards of £1000 / month for good SEO's. Its just not viable for small business'. OP, i strongly suggest you give up on SEO and concentrate on other means of traffic such as social media and Ad Words. £300 is nothing for SEO. Most agencies will exchange...

    Affiliate marketing - what commission rate?

    Unable to find good employees. Anyone else have this problem?

    How bad does your staff retention rate have to be before you stop blaming the employees and start blaming yourself? Trying to get value for money for your employees implies you pay them next to nothing and expect them to do a stellar job. Perhaps take a look at the way you treat your staff...

    Ebay - To free ship or not, opinions please...

    By experience I'd say that free shipping out performs paid shipping more often than not on ebay. But because i don't know your product or market i suggest you test both. If I were you, I'd stick it up at £5.50 with free shipping since your cheaper than your competitors by a large margin. This is...

    Recruitment Agency Feedback - **tin hat required**

    I think it comes down to trust. What added value can you have for the substantial sum of money that most agencies require. How do i not know, that the candidate has been properly researched. Yes, their CV may be impressive but they might not be. I'd much rather like to employ a friendly hard...

    Reed.com have a handy salary calculator for this sort of thing. However your question depends on many factors. Who you've previously worked for in SEO (clientside/agency), your location, your age. 3 Years experience isn't great for a senior position in SEO. The problem with SEO is that its a new...
