Does anyone else find this term derogatory when used to indicate a company has job vacancies?
As far as I am concerned hiring a car/van piece of equipment etc, is fine but it should not be applied to jobs and careers
Am I being over sensitive or do others think it's an Americanism that has crept in to usage here in the UK and we could do without it? |

…."
No. No I don’t. I’ve got lots more minor trivial things to worry about before this….. |

Not really. "We are willing to exchange money for a time limited use of something"
So whether it's a power tool for a couple of days or you for as long as you're willing to work there, the word fits what's being described. |

"I can't get a job anywhere call it scrping the barrel I don't care just give me a fucking job .....rant over "
I was just going to say, anyone looking for work would probably be very happy to see a sign saying “we’re hiring “. |

Not sure if it’s your cup of tea, but the Care industry is crying out for carers. Not the most well paid job, and not great if you have a bad back or owt, but just throwing it out there.
If you don’t drive some companies do walking routes.
Training and uniform usually provided. DBS check carried out too.

"We have a “We’re hiring!” board in our office window. Yet to receive an objection to it.
I don’t suppose you get many objections full stop. "
It's offensive when job agencies have their shop window/floor signs that say "We're hiring now", when clearly they are not. Doe ASA standards not apply here? |
