Should I wear a suit and treat registering like a formal interview?
No, but it is helpful to be smartly presented. While we like to consider your registering with us as more of a chat than an interview, it is important to remember that first impressions, including presentation, attitude and punctuality will be noted by our Consultants as part of our Candidate assessment.

Will I need to complete any tests when I register with you?
After our meeting, we will send you a typing test to complete remotely at home via your email account. The results will be emailed back to us. We will only test for other MS Office packages and spelling/grammar if our Clients specifically request this.

How long does it take to get a job after I have registered with you?
We can never guarantee how long the job hunting and interview process will take. This can be dependant on anything from the type of role you're looking for and what level you are, to the time of year it is. We estimate that most Candidates on our books will find a role in the first 3 months of being registered with us.

Should I call in regularly to update you on my availability?
Please feel free to call and update us with your working situation. On the permanent side, it is only really necessary to call in if your situation has changed or you would like to send through an updated CV. On the temporary side, please make sure you call in regularly to let us know your availability. Communication with the Temporary department is key and can make the difference between getting a temp assignment or not!

How important are computer skills to obtaining a new job?
As technology progresses and the flexibility to use emails over the written letter increases, we are finding that MS Office packages are more important than ever. We recommend that Candidates either refresh their skills or look into various Computer Training programmes (we can advise on this when you register). In today's workplace it seems that Clients no longer (or rarely) require shorthand skills, and by contrast, knowledge of MS PowerPoint is often a prerequisite. Please do not hesitate to ask our Consultants for further advice on improving your skills.
