Candidate Selection Process
 
We ask all candidates to make themselves aware of the main aspects of our selection process as follows. Please note that if a candidate is unwilling to work with us to complete the entire process, we will regretfully have to stop working with that candidate.
 

1.Screening process

Once your application has been received we will contact you by phone. During this pre-screening it will be determined if you meet the general technical requirements required.
 

2. Formal interview

If both the candidate and Broadhorizon wish to proceed, we will conduct a more through interview which may include a formal skills assessment, depending on our client instructions. The purpose of this meeting is to delve deeply into the candidate’s work history, salary requirements, the depth of technical skills and availability. We need to obtain a clear picture of your skills and abilities and your aspirations and ideals.

 

3. Reference checks

If both applicant and Broadhorizon are satisfied with the outcome of the process so far and both agree to proceed with the application, Broadhorizon will take up reference checks by email or phone. For contractors, this will usually have to cover the last 3 years including the current position. For permanent applicants, we will not contact the present employer but reference checks will be requested from all past employers covering the last 5 years.
 

4. Candidate presentation

Once steps 1 to 3 above have been completed successfully, we will introduce the most suitable three applicants to the client for consideration. We will then arrange all phone interviews and face-to-face meetings.
 
Some Clients may require additional checks and vetting procedures. You will be advised of these before your CV is put forward to any such client and we will ask you to help us to provide the client with all such additional information.
