    Wander into your nearest Job Centre and use one of the terminals.

    Do a search for full-time IT professionals anywhere in the UK: there are hundreds if not thousands of minimum wage IT roles, and not just call loggers either. There's web developers and coding role too at minimum wage.

    And plenty of people desperately trying to get them, so they do get filled.

    The advert almost reads as though it was written by Vicky Pollard.

    The last two certainly exist 'senior stylist' and 'consultant urologist'.

    In the hope that experienced people will read the ad and then do the job for the rate of a school leaver.
