    You come on a contractors' site looking for sympathy because someone turned down the offer of permiedoom?

        Open an office in Mumbai, hire BOB and bring him in on an ICT.

        Simples.

          We hire locally, being in the office at least 4 days a week is a requirement, in this case commuting distance was a problem for sure.

            Contractors usually don't want to live in tulip holes.

              Get used to the disappointment m8. As people meet your IRL you're gonna get a lot of turn downs.

                  So what you're really saying is that during the interview/selection process you never stated that being in the office 4 days per week is a requirement and you never asked if this was acceptable to the candidate, instead you led them on by offering the role and then dropped the extra requirement in last minute and wonder why they don't accept??

                  or did the candidate say it wasn't an issue and then decide it was? i.e they got a better offer elsewhere

                    Number of reasons why AtW will struggle to hire staff

                    1) AtW
                    2) It's in Swindon
                    3) AtW(did I mention that one already?)
                    4) You might have interesting technology but your website looks like a child did it
                    5) Not everyone likes Potatoes
                    6) AtW(not sure if I've missed that)
                    7) You're backed by a Russian Pornographer(Though in Toolnumpty's case this isnt an issue)
                    8) Nobody wants the casting couch treatement at your Bedsit (apart from Milan obviously)
                    9) At... No think I've done that
                    10) You like squirrels.

                    So you'd have to be nuts to accept. Nuts geddit.

                    Nevermind.
