If you are concerned about the time it will take to review your applications, or if you’d like someone with recruitment expertise to analyse applications for you, Employment Office provides a Candidate Shortlist service that makes finding the right employee(s) even easier!

We will...

• Request you to complete a short Job Definition Survey (JDS) which will provide a useful benchmark for evaluating your shortlisted candidates
• Contact you after the completion of the JDS, to discuss the results and run through the final details on the role, ensuring we have a full understanding of your ideal candidate
• Rate and rank applicants
• Conduct in-depth, role-specific telephone interviews
• Arrange for suitable applicants to complete McQuaig candidate job-fit questionnaires
• Present a shortlist of up to five candidates, including booking and confirmation details of client/candidate interviews, original application, resume, interview summary and guide and comprehensive McQuaig report
• Perform reference checks (to be completed after face-to-face interview upon request)
