Our recruitment tips for employers.

• Know your deal breakers and ensure your recruiter knows them too – this saves a lot of time for everyone.
• Be realistic – the job market is a bit like a roller coaster so ensure you are reasonable in your expectations for salary and experience.
• Talk about your company culture at the interview – it’s vital to ensure that the candidate and your company are a fit.
• Create time to see potential candidates fast – candidates get a feel for your business depending on how long you take to respond so it’s important to create the right impression from the start.

Make swift offers to suitable candidates – many employers are making offers during interviews so be prepared to discuss this at the end of the interview if you feel you have the right candidate.
