  • We can tailor make a competency based interview to suit the role, helping us to provide a more accurate and suitable shortlist.
  • We can develop or administer aptitude/personality tests if required.
  • We can respond very quickly to short term, temporary and contract positions as we are recruiting on an ongoing basis.
  • We are proud members of the REC (Recruitment and Employment Confederation) and we abide by their high standards.
