And set the standard high and re advertise (at my cost) each time with a lower minimum, until I get an applicant to apply?
Get real - it is supply and demand.
I would set the level high but low enough to be able to allow a certain type of applicant to still have the chance of employment - but not have an under minimum qualification to not be able to employ - or if I do get raped by unions and government regulators, for employing them.
Currently in Australia if you WANT a flying job in Australia, you need to stand out - not the airline beg for you to join them. So you apply 50 times and they advertise once. That is until they get no applications, then you call the shots and name the terms.
