Whatever your requirements, you can be assured that we will be able to assist you in hiring the best bi-lingual professionals available.

Permanent Recruitment

With a large database of bi-lingual candidates we are able to provide recruitment services throughout the UK. Our prices for permanent recruitment are based on a percentage of salary and we are confident that our prices and recruitment process are highly competitive. As part of our permanent recruitment we offer screening by both telephone and face to face meetings with potential bi-lingual candidates.

Technical testing is used to ensure we are providing our clients with the best candidates in the market place.

Contract Recruitment

In a constantly changing environment we can help with our clients with bi-lingual contract recruitment services. If you require a short or long term bi-lingual contractor we can offer highly skilled professionals at short notice. We can also help to save our clients money and offer our clients the opportunity to work on an introduction based fee allowing the contractor to work directly for the client after initial introduction. This is all at competitive prices supplemented with an extremely stringent screening process.

Selection Process

Attracting and selecting the right bi-lingual staff needs to be carefully planned and inevitably this is what will assist increasing your chances of making the correct appointment. It is therefore essential that our clients work closely with us so that they understand the whole process and can make contributions to help with the staffing of their organisation.

Once our clients have analysed their requirements and have got the go ahead to recruit we analyse the position and the key points to identify what kind of experience and attributes the right person should have to be successful within their organisation.

Advertising

We advertise all our positions in the external media, and through previous consultation with our clients we agree on a style and template for our adverts. This allows us to gain a good coverage of the market and the people available to us. It is important to us that the adverts we place reach a large audience so we can ensure that our clients are gaining a fare representation of the market and the skills which are available to them.

We use various means of advertising and encourage branded advertising as way of attracting more bi-lingual candidates. We ensure the adverts we place deliver the message which our clients wish to convey to potential employees and look at both web and paper based advertising as a means of attracting professionals who may not necessarily be actively looking to find work.

Tests and Presentations

We understand in certain areas testing and asking the applicants to prepare a presentation prior to the interview is important to gain a full understanding of the applicants bi-lingual capabilities. We are happy to provide advice or conduct tests to ascertain the suitability of a candidate. We can also provide briefs on presentations to the candidates and provide all information before the shortlisted candidates reach the interview stage.

Search & Selection

Attracting and selecting the right staff needs to be carefully planned and inevitably this is what will help to increase your chances of making the correct appointment. It is essential that our clients work closely with us so that they understand the whole process and can make contributions to help with the staffing of their organisation.

We have stream lined our search and selection process to make sure we are always in contact with the right people. Once the closing date has passed we assess each applicant against the specification to define which bi-lingual candidates meet the set criteria and we usually ask one of our client's interview panel members to be involved in this.

Our resource team have developed skills which enable them to select what people they believe will be key to helping our clients move forward with their business ideas and we are confident through our tailored service, which includes both technical and psychometric testing we will find the right people for you.

Interview

We provide our clients with advice around interviewing and have identified a few key areas which need to be looked at: - Interview format - Questions for all candidates and any individual questions - Details around role, future opportunities and company strategies - Start date.

Offer stage

Once the successful candidate has been decided between the panel we advise that a verbal offer should be made quickly with relevant documentation sent out promptly. The written offer should include: - All information relevant to verbal offer made. - Salary scale, hours of work and start date - References (offer is subject to this) - Full scope of position - Probationary period (generally 3 months)
