    2 of my current staff were hired based on a spec letter. It helped that their timing was impeccable, I landed a contract which required a staff member with a specific skill set and the day after a spec letter arrived for a chap with the exact skill set required.


    :money: Thank you for letting me know this! It's actually quite heartening to hear that some folks do take notice of the spec letters. I dont for one minute expect to hear anything back from the ones we're about to send, but it is good to know that maybe, just maybe, it might work!

    Totally agree with Woody01 - good luck and keep going - something will turn up eventually - I secured both of my previous roles via speculative enquiries
