I would have thought free accommodation with 20 other people in the room would have been added to the job profile.

OK - not the hardest skill set but certainly should pay a fair bit more than minimum wage!!

So, no applicants means only one thing...

SKILLS SHORTAGE!!!

I don't see this as a crap salary. My first job paid me £15K PA and that too in London. I agree, I didn't have to pay for the rent, but still I don't see a reason why graduates cannot apply for this jobs.
The issue here is, there is a job available and the business can only afford a certain amount. I am happy, I took the job for such a low salary, but then after 1 year of experience, jumped to the next band. You can't just sit down, not wanting to work and then complain about immigrants taking the jobs.

My first job paid me £7K a year.

But then again that was about 25 years ago.

If it's not a crap rate then feel free to apply for it. It's only just above minimum wage so on that basis I would say that they will struggle to attract people with those skills for £230 a week. This was also originally advertised as a 6 month contract!

WTF?!?!

SQL, SSRS, Datawarehousing not the hardest skill set? I know guys on double that wage per month in contracting. It might be easy once you know how but you need at least 5 or 6 years experience to get there.

I have seen my salary from 15k to 35k and then I entered the contractors world. I don't particularly appreciate the rate, but then staying in work at a very low rate is still better than on dole. I personally call this ethics.

12-13k as a grad with no skills and 12-13k as a grad with the above skills are 2 totally seperate things. Also what year are you talking about? 15k in London 20 years ago is different to 15k now. I graduated and was on 20k in the north west and I was on lower than my peers. That job role is a complete insult to anybody in IT if you ask me. I didn't go to uni and spend 30k to come out on a 12k job, let alone the ones graduating now with 50k of debt.
