Not in the field we work in, job postings typically get zero replies. It's crap automotive shut-down work. Everyone wants to work for Google or Facebook...no one wants to program an assembly line.

Also, provide a deadline for compliance with your demands.
At a certain juncture, demand, don't ask...and make sure he is aware of the screen door on the way out.

I did that last Friday, in great detail, then an email to confirm what we discussed. This week he will get put on probation, then reassessed in two weeks.
The skids are greased.
