Expect more.
We are here to support you through the recruitment process and throughout
your career. We stand for integrity, honesty and professionalism.
When working with The Works, our consultants will:
- Respect your confidence - everything we do is both highly confidential
and with your prior knowledge so there is no threat of your CV leaving our
office without your permission
- Interview you thoroughly, listen to what you want and suggest opportunities
which are in tune with this
- Provide clients with a detailed interview report about you in support
of your CV so they are fully briefed about you (although we can’t guarantee they
read this of course!)
- Brief you thoroughly about clients and their requirements to help with
your interview preparation - we meet all our clients (where possible)
and put together briefing notes which your consultant will give you before you attend
an interview
- Provide you with a job description if the client has given us one
- Recommend ways to improve your CV if appropriate
- Advise you about your interview technique and we can give you
example ‘practice’ questions if desired – ask your consultant
- For more comprehensive advice we can also offer (paid for) interview
training
- Provide you with objective advice about the marketplace and salaries
- Let you know of roles that we are handling that are relevant to your
experience
Keep you informed at every stage
In return, when you meet a consultant at The Works, please can you:
- Treat your meeting like a first stage interview with a company, so
we can gauge your interview skills and give you professional advice - look the
part and be prepared to talk about your skills and achievements in detail
- Provide us with accurate and up-to-date information, so if your salary
increases or if you move house, please let us know
- Be upfront with what else is happening with your job search so all
parties are well informed and there are no surprises
- Return our calls\emails as soon as possible and always call in with
your feedback after an interview
- Be aware about the need to be flexible with your availability to meet
with our clients as they have busy lives too
- Let us know about any holiday plans or other leave which is likely
to affect your availability for interviews
- Invest some extra time to prepare thoroughly for interviews in addition
to the briefing material and counsel we give you
- Tell us if you secure a role we’re not handling or if your requirements
change in any way
- Let us know if you see a job of interest on our website after you’ve
met with a consultant; there’s no need to send us another application
- Let us know where your CV has been sent\where you have interviewed
in the last six months – generally speaking, we cannot introduce you to the same
client for six months since that approach was made
- Channel all communications with clients we’re introducing you
to through us –
this avoids any confusion and keeps the recruitment process on a
professional footing
