Advice for Jobseekers

THE CANDIDATE JOURNEY

The ProcessThe process outlined below is usually for a long-term contract or permanent positions. The process for temporary placements can vary depending on the length and type of role. Our clients trust us to assess and recommend candidates on their behalf so our process is rigorous to support that. Initial registrationWhether you find us via a job advert, our website, a referral or our research team have sourced you for your expertise - &nbsp;we will start with an initial conversation. Telephone conversationWe will have a telephone conversation with you to start to get to know you and to find what your immediate career objectives are, your previous experience &nbsp;and skills. If you are interested in a particular role that is still at the candidate stage, we will discuss the requirements with you to gauge your interest. If we think you would be a good match for the role, or perhaps other similar ones, we will invite you in for a virtual interview. Virtual Interview with SavannahInitially we require the completion of a registration document and proof of your right to work in the UK. Our goal is getting to know you, to understand your reasons for looking for a new role, your aspirations, background and experience Interview with our ClientWhen our Client invites you for an interview, &nbsp;they will let your consultant know, who will give you a variety of times/dates to choose from (when possible - it depends on the urgency of the role!) Being flexible with your availability is always encouraged. Once a time is agreed, your consultant will give you a full brief on the interview including who you will be meeting and any advice on communication and presentation.Most first client interviews are conducted by teams, zoom or google. Should you not be familiar with that process, we will support you every step of the way.Depending on the type of role, you may be asked to return for a second or even third interview. You will usually meet more senior members of the team at this point, and you may be asked to prepare a task or presentation. Your consultant will brief you fully on the interview, and will as well give you feedback from your first interview to help you develop. Offer and acceptanceIf you have been successful and the employer wants to offer you a role, your consultant will inform you by telephone and give you the key details including salary and requested start date. If you want to negotiate on either of these terms, your consultant will do this on your behalf and will be honest with you about whether this is a good idea or likely to be unsuccessful and leave a negative impression. Once you are happy with the terms you can accept verbally and via email and the contracts will be drawn up. At this stage it is advisable you inform your current employer about the offer and your intention to accept. Resigning from your current roleResigning from your current job can be hard, especially if you have been there a while and have developed friendships with your colleagues. Your consultant will coach you through the process so that it is as easy as possible, and you come out of it with a positive relationship with your employer (this is important for reference checks!) Sometimes they make it even harder by offering you more money or other incentives to stay. It is important you do not make any knee-jerk reactions and stay in a role you are not comfortable in for the wrong reasons - you started looking and applying for a reason, and have invested a lot of your time in getting an offer. Make the right decision for you and do not let guilt or pressure sway you from that. Reference checksUsually, offers of employment are 'pending satisfactory references', which is why it is important to let your current employer know immediately when you have accepted an offer. They may be contacted for a reference quite quickly. In most cases, the references will be done by the new employers' HR department. You will be asked to supply them with 2-3 contacts from recent employers (within the past two years). It is always advisable that you ask permission from the person first; this means they are not caught by surprise, and of course will give you a positive reference! Most organisations now will only confirm dates and roles, however, many hiring employers do like to take up a telephone reference. The usual approach would be to your direct manager/senior rather than HR, so it is important that you liaise closely with us through that process. Your first day!Your consultant will be in touch with you leading up to your first day, to touch base and help you with any questions you might have or advice you might need. Enjoy your new adventure!&nbsp;
