We begin by gaining a thorough understanding of your requirement. This includes agreeing a detailed job specification covering duties, shift patterns, skills, compliance requirements and working environment. Where appropriate, we conduct a site visit to understand the culture, pace of operation, health & safety expectations and team dynamics.
2. Candidate Attraction Activity + Initial Criteria Screen and Telephone Interview
We actively source suitable temporary Candidates. Each applicant is screened against agreed criteria, including availability, relevant experience, right to work and shift flexibility. Suitable Candidates are then invited to complete an initial telephone interview to assess suitability, reliability and motivation before progressing further.
