Applicants

We offer our Candidates friendly, honest and helpful advice and we understand that every Candidate register is unique. Each applicant will have differing skills and expectations of the type of work and environment they want to work in, so we pay attention and we genuinely care.

Even if you can't see a job that suits you in our current vacancy list please email your up to date CV and tell us what you are looking for in a new role. One of our team will then contact you to see how we can assist you.

Registration Process

Our Team personally meet all of the applicants who register with us; there are no 3rd parties involved or on-line registrations. This is so we can get to know individuals and better understand their needs.

• When registering with us you will be required to fill in our registration form and you will need to bring your Passport or Birth Certificate as it is legally required for identification purposes. Candidates also require an up to date CV supplied to us either by email or on disc/ memory stick.
• If you are looking for temporary or contract work you will need to provide details of two referees who we can contact prior to you starting any temporary or contract assignments. Skills testing may be required if you are looking for an administration role. You may also be required to provide proof of your national insurance number in the form of a card or tax document.
• You spend up to an hour with one of our Consultants discussing what you want from a new role and just as importantly what you don’t want. This meeting is critical for us as it is our chance to get to know you and what is important to you. All registration interviews are conducted in private and in the strictest confidence.
• Once registered we will not call you every week to assess your current status, rather we trust you will inform us of any changes in your situation. However we will contact you when we have new roles that we believe will be suitable for you.

Prior to Interview

• When we have a particular position we think a Candidate might be suitable for we will make contact to discuss the role. We will disclose all details available, salary etc to find out if you wish us to forward your CV to our Client. The Client will then make a decision on who they would like to interview.
  
• Candidates selected for interview by our Client will be invited to attend a pre-interview with the Consultant who is assisting our Customer with their recruitment. This is to make sure you understand the role as our Client has described it and to give you all the additional information about the Employers that might not be in the job role. i.e. whether there is parking, directions, details about the working environment and the type of people who you would be working with if you were successful at interview.
  
• All available details about the Client are provided to the Candidate to study. If specific skills testing has been requested by a Client will be done at this stage.
  
• We advise and help with your interview technique. This is your opportunity to use our expertise and to practice prior to the interview. In our experience Candidates who take advantage of a full pre interview are less nervous and better informed so are much more likely to succeed 1st time.
  
• Our service to Candidates is free of charge.
