Business Backup Recruitment Berkshire
Do you interview all the candidates you put forward to jobs?

Yes. Not only do we interview all of the candidates, we also test them and explain the vacancy to them in full and get their permission before we send their CV to a client. We feel strongly that it is part of the service that you pay for to be certain that every CV you receive is that of a well briefed and keen candidate for your position.

Where do the majority of your candidates come from?

Our candidates come from website advertising, but interestingly, the majority come from recommendations and referrals from existing candidates.

Do you send the candidate's original CV or do you ever re-write them to suit a job?

We have a policy of never re-writing a CV and always send the original to our clients. We believe that it is important for clients to see how a candidate presents themselves on paper. It is an indication of their ability to write coherently and adds value and depth to the candidate profile. Re-written CVs are not a clear representation of the candidate's personality and suitability for a position.

Are your candidates tested?

Part of our registration process is testing candidates on their software, data entry, typing skills and any relevant skills pertaining to their chosen career. We also provide psychometric testing and the results of all these tests are available to clients on request.

Do you provide training?

The same system we use to test candidates also allows us to cross train them on various software packages. This service is free to candidates and we can prepare candidate for positions where their software skills need refreshing or upgrading.

What other services do you provide?
