Staff at water engineering firm Panton McLeod
Directors at Scottish water quality engineering firm Panton McLeod have been left shocked after an advert for a new staff member attracted more than 100 applications in just four days.
While other companies across the country have been cost-cutting and trimming their workforces, Borders-based Panton McLeod has seen the economic downturn as a perfect time to grow its business.
But the firm was left stunned after it placed an advert for a new labourer position – and received more than 100 applications from as far afield as Glasgow, Newcastle and Cardiff.
Operations director Paul Henderson said: “We were shocked when we started to receive so many applications for a single junior position at the company. In the past, we’ve put adverts out for positions and had very little interest but now, because of the state of the economy, we’ve been bombarded with CVs and notes of interest.”
