Step 7. Shortlisting and in-depth interviewing

We work with you to shortlist your preferred candidates for interview, where we can either interview on your behalf, or sit in on a panel. We are also able to arrange psychometric testing and online skills assessments as part of your vetting process.

Step 8. Referencing

We will source references for your potential new employee to guarantee their credibility. We can also offer DBS checking services, if relevant for the post.
