Step 2 – Employer Consultation

We arrange for a face-to-face, over the phone, or online employer consultation where we discuss their recruitment needs. We advise more about our service and what we can offer, including any additional incentives and our benefits package. We offer the option of making use of our facilities and resources, such as the Turas Nua training department – often employers can offer pre-training material to prepare candidates months in advance of roles becoming available. We then outline the process of how we work and give an insight into our sustainment model – our goal is not just to assist our clients in obtaining employment, but in sustaining it.

Step 3 – Job Description

Once we have agreed on a recruitment strategy, we work with the employer to create a detailed job description to help find the right candidates. 

Step 4 – Screening Candidates

The ES team uploads the details of the job description to our CRM system and our candidate matching software system to identify suitable candidates. Meetings are carried out in the local office ensuring that our caseworkers understand the role and can actively promote it with suitable clients they are working with. For large-scale recruitment drives, we prefer to invite candidates who express an interest in the role into our office for a screening with ES. Where appropriate, a screening call can also be carried out with the client. Our screening process allows ES to assess the suitability of candidates – at this stage, we can offer additional guidance on how the candidate can improve their application, enhance their CV, undertake interview preparation, and discuss other potential roles that might also be suitable.

Step 5 – Employer Review

We contact the employer to advise that we have identified suitable pre-screened candidates and CVs are sent directly to the employer for review (we adhere to a strict GDPR policy and only do this with consent).

Step 6 – Interviews

The employer relays information about who they want to invite for an interview. We also offer the employer the option of using our facilities to carry out interviews (this is usually a good option for smaller businesses who don’t have adequate facilities of their own, or for larger companies who are hiring multiple people and who may not have an office in the area). ES assists with the interview schedule. Interviews are carried out and feedback provided to ES. We seek feedback not only in individual candidates, but also on the entire interview process to ensure that we can maintain our level or service for future campaigns.

Step 7 – Job Start

Once the employer has made their decision on who they want to hire, the successful applicants are contacted with Job Start and Induction details. They are offered guidance and advised of their 52-week ongoing In-Employment support process.
