• Job Alerts

If a client wishes to interview you, you will receive an alert to notify you that your personal contact details have been shared. These will vary in frequency depending on your applications made and your profile being selected.

Candidates and Clients need to be aware that this is a job matching service and operates as a vehicle only and does not introduce or supply candidates to clients (or vice versa). This means that we do not:

take any steps to ensure the candidate and client are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the candidate to fulfil the position advertised;
take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to the interests of the candidate or the client for the candidate to fulfil the position to be fulfilled;
give any indication to clients whether candidates are suitable/unsuitable for any position to be filled in any circumstances;
propose candidates to clients or provide any information about them.
take up any references in relation to a candidate; or,
make any arrangements for accommodation of candidates.
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”) seek to ensure that candidates are only proposed for roles for which they are properly qualified and that clients are only offered candidates who have the appropriate levels of experience, training, qualifications and authorisation for the position to be filled. Since we are only a venue and do not propose or introduce candidates to clients or vice versa, it is recommended that, if you are a candidate, you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the role advertised or, if you are a client, to ensure a candidate’s suitability for the role.

2. If you are a client; checking the identity of the candidate and that the candidate has the experience, training, qualifications and authorisation required by law or otherwise for the position and whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you, as the client, to meet to enable a candidate to take up a position.
In addition, where professional qualifications are required or where candidate are to work with vulnerable persons or children, you should obtain copies of the relevant qualifications or authorisation, obtain at least two references from people who are not relatives of the candidate and undertake a criminal records bureau check of the candidate. For more details of how to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, visit then Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) website.
Any searching or screening tools provided by us for use in your assessment of the suitability or otherwise of any particular candidate or advertised vacancy are to assist you in taking these steps, but are not intended as a substitute.
