The jobcentre has got this kinda bribe where they will pay an employer £1000 if they recruit someone who has been on jobseekers allowance for more than 6months. Details below;

Has anyone employed anyone who was on JSA and taken advantage of the offer above?

I've got a customer who told me about this months ago, but I would rather take on someone who wants the job, and if successful, I happen to get 1k for taking them on great, but I wont give then advantage over another potential applicant because I will get this.

If they have been unemployed for more than 6 months I would have to ask myself, why?

Do they want to work?

I am I going to spend thousands starting them up, for them not to give a monkeys?
