Recruitment Process
What are we doing to make our recruitment and employment fair, equitable and enjoyable?
Our business is built on the premise that we are looking for the person who shares our values and has the right skills and attitude. That’s it. We have worked to create a fair, transparent and equitable recruitment process where everyone is judged on their merits and nothing else.
We take great pride in our approach to recruitment, from job advert right through to your three month review. We make sure you feel welcomed, supported and have the right tools to deliver what you are being asked to.
The actual interview process is a series of stages:
Application form
Rather than ask you to send in a CV and covering letter, we ask you to complete an application form. It’s sometimes hard for candidates to know exactly what the employer wants to know when asking for a CV and cover letter, so we try and make it really clear exactly what information we want by using the application form. It also ensures that everyone is operating on a level playing field as everyone is required to provide the same information.
Telephone interview
This is an initial call around 30 minutes in length, whereby we look to ask a few questions about you and your experience, why you are interested in working with us and the opportunity for you to ask any initial questions about the role and really show us your abilities. That way we can both quickly identify if we’re a good fit for one another.
Technical assessment
This is where you’ll be required to undertake a technical assessment that is relevant to your own particular role. Essentially a challenge to gauge where your skills are at, which will help us determine suitability for the role but also if successful, how we will configure a training plan tailored to you.
Interview
This is where we’ll invite you into the office for an in-person interview with the directors of the business. While there is naturally an element of formality to the interview, we think that we get the best out of people when they feel relaxed and comfortable, so we try and foster an environment that helps you to show us how great you are on the day. We are firm believers that the interview is as much about us selling the opportunity to you, as it is about you selling your capabilities and passion to us. It’s a great opportunity to make sure we’re right for each other.
Psychometric testing
The purpose of the psychometric tests is so that we can accurately assess your strengths and how you fit in the team. It also ensures that we can objectively assess someones personality traits and highlights the importance that we place on delivering a transparent and equitable recruitment process, finding the right person for the job.
Appointment
Once we’ve looked at all of the data and discussed internally, we’ll make an offer to the successful candidate and get the ball rolling with paperwork, workstation and onboarding.
