Why not? We've got more than enough to keep us all going. Taking on more would just put the staff under pressure and possibly mean they'd have to work extra hours, which is totally unacceptable to me.

What is so difficult about the work you do that a succession of 11 recommended freelancers failed, was it technical incapability or something more esoteric
|
I'd say about half just lied about what skills they had and obviously tried to learn as they went along, particularly those I asked to do Flash work. Of the rest, some produced systems that just didn't meet the functional spec or even come close, some produced creative work of such low quality that I had to restart from scratch, one tried to hold us to ransom by refusing to deliver the goods until we doubled his fee and one went on holiday for three weeks over the deadline then hired a lawyer to try to get his money out of us.
Maybe the freelancers here are not like that. I hope not. But with a 100% failure rate I'd have to be very, very stupid to try the same thing again.
