Our team will manage your brand and reputation by handling all applications and enquiries about your vacancy, ensuring each applicant personally hears from us. Our team will implement a customised advertising strategy, create tailored interview questions specific to your role, compile a transcript of the interview, and at least two professional reference checks for each shortlisted candidate. We will decipher any computer testing and additional screening to ensure you have a wide-ranging impression of the applicant. You will be presented with a neat applicant pack, complete with our observations, and we will meet with you personally to walk you through each recommended candidate. We remove all of the guesswork for you, so you’ll feel as though you were right there throughout the entire process.
We are so confident about the quality of our candidates that we refer, that we offer a replacement guarantee.
