    Once an applicant is deemed worthy of submission, we will send our Summary Report and the candidates CV in their format. We will follow up the email with a call and arrange an interview time suitable for both parties. One of our consultants will be available to attend the interview if you require assistance or coaching in the interview process.

  • Step 6: Feedback and Offer

    When the interview is completed, we will take and give feedback to both parties. At this stage we will also ensure that all the appropriate documentation including references have been finalised and made available to you. If an offer is made we will communicate the offer on your behalf and then manage the process so that you get the best possible outcome.

  • Step 7: Commencement and Retention

    When the candidate commences the role the consultant will keep in touch with you and your new employee to ensure that both parties are meeting their obligations.
