I mean the ratio of low quality applications to really high quality ones used to be about 5:1 (that is for every five low quality service providers there was a decent service provider) but now the ratio of low quality to high quality service providers I find is about 1:5 – the reverse!
I am finding it really difficult short listing candidates, let alone award projects.
Are these symptoms of the recession?
Or is there an impending glut of high quality service providers?
Whatever the situation, I am building a database of quality service providers I can contact in times of emergencies.
