I'm just wondering where businesses are advertising their jobs these days.
We've been running an ad on Indeed.ie for 8 weeks now for 2 (basic) jobs and we're having little to no success filling the roles. We're getting very few suitable candidates and the few we do find are not showing up for interviews half the time.
What websites/media are businesses using these days to find good quality candidates?

it depends on the role you are looking to fill. There are specialised recruiters for high end jobs but for more ordinary roles we tend to ask people to ask others and also use a couple of agencies who specalise in agency staff with a view that if we like them, we can convert them to perm roles. however it is getting more and more difficult, especially in Dublin as especially as the younger generation will walk if they are not happy knowing they more then likely can get a job elsewhere
We're finding the younger age group (<30 ) are worse than useless. They don't seem to have any interest or curiosity about the job they're doing or indeed the world around them. Also, they seem to know everything and criticisms of their work don't go down well at all....

Over the last few years I have heard this discussed a couple of times by employers and on some radio chat shows.
" You dare not criticise any 'millennial' over their work " was the general consensus.
What can we expect though, when most of them were brought up in a culture where failure is rewarded.
Even down to primary schoolkids getting awards/prizes for coming last in competitions eg. school races/Irish dancing/singing etc.
Through my job I meet many, many employers and unfortunately a growing number of them would echo @123789456 's sentiments.
If the employer cannot get the best from employees as a group, the employer is doing something wrong.
In most cases these people impressed in interviews, but for various reasons they just weren't up to the job and so they didn't last.

It is axiomatic that the failure is the employers not the employees.
Oh dear
Wow, insightful!
I would ask you @Sunny not to 'put words into my mouth' so to speak, please.
I never once said, nor intimated that the participation in sporting or indeed any group activity is more/less important than winning.
( However some 'runners up' in top level sports may have a strong opinion on this.)
I never one said, nor intimated that todays generation are not achieving more, certainly academically, than previous generations.
You say :- "Coming last in an under 8 school race or Irish dancing is not failure. "
I say, it's certainly not an achievement either and I don't think it should be rewarded. I believe it does not set good ground rules for the future.
Life, is extremely competitive and if you want to 'get on' then that generally does not come easy.
