Interim
We recognise that speed of response is often critical when it comes to interim assignments and we pride ourselves on our fast and efficient service. We will only put forward candidates who we have checked are available in the timescales you require.
When we receive an interim assignment, we will start off by taking a detailed brief from our client. We will then contact candidates we know and have placed in interim assignments before. Should we need to, we will then advertise the assignment on our website, and also contact other interims that have registered with us.
We will present you with an average of 3 candidate profiles per interim vacancy – ideally we will present these verbally to you, but in any case we will always follow this up with their CV. This often happens on the day we receive the assignment.
We will then organise the interview process between you and the candidates, confirming dates/times/locations, and taking full feedback from all parties concerned. We will then facilitate the offer process and provide advice on Interim Service Agreements where required. We will keep in contact once the interim has started the assignment with you.
The process is driven by you and can happen very quickly. It is not unusual for an interim to be in place within a day of you meeting them. Telephone interviews can be arranged for particularly urgent assignments.
Permanent
When we receive a permanent vacancy, we will start off by taking a detailed brief from you. We will then search our extensive candidate database (over 10,000 Food Industry specialists) for suitable matches. We will present the opportunity to them, highlighting the benefits of working for your organisation. We will then thoroughly screen the candidates according to the criteria we have established during the vacancy brief-taking process.
We also advertise our permanent vacancies on a number of high profile online ‘job boards’, if required, and draw on our referrals network for recommendations for difficult to fill positions.
We always aim to send you around 3 candidate profiles per permanent vacancy. Ideally we will present these verbally to you, but in any case, we will always follow this up with their CV. This often happens within a couple of days of taking the vacancy brief.
We will then organise the interview process between you and the candidates, confirming dates/times/locations, and taking full feedback from all parties concerned. We will then facilitate the offer process, avoiding the pitfalls of counter-offers and any other issues that may arise during the notice period. We will keep in contact during the candidate’s notice period and once they have started working for you, to ensure both you and the candidate are happy. Finally, we will also keep in touch with you and the successful candidate for a period of time after they begin their employment with you, to ensure that their onboarding process goes smoothly.
