    By "those" I meant those who are currently unemployed and NOT a Contractor applying for their next assignment, but simply applying for a job... to keep receiving said benefits.
    I get that and assume the kind of people who that applies to (i.e happy to keep claiming benefits and just applying for jobs to keep the government off their back) are more likely to be applying for jobs they see in the mainstream press rather than Jobserve etc. What role was it that you got hundreds of benefits claimants applying for? I take it you are not a specialist IT agency then?

      Still missing the point then. Dole bludger gets on his Alienware gaming PC, goes on his fibre optic broadband and jumps on jobserve, spuriously applying for every role he sees. He then prints out a list of those and takes them to the job centre, saying "Look Mr Dole Man, I've applied for 32000 jobs this week". The point being, the dole have no ******' idea, except that he seems to be applying for jobs and he gets all that accountability tulip out of the road in 30 mins rather than buying papers, looking in them etc etc. If you're naïve enough to think that people are too honest to do that, then I have your 32 MILLION DOLLAR inheritance in a Nigerian bank account. All I need is your $500 legal fees by Western Union and a copy of your passport.
