Describe the job; we will source suitable candidates.
The right employee starts with an accurate job description
So that we can present the most suitable candidates, the role and working conditions must be described clearly. The more detail you provide for the points below in the request form, the faster the process and the fewer adaptation problems.
- Job title / role
- What the employee will do
- Department / unit
- Working hours and shift pattern
- Working days and days off
- Whether overtime applies
- Experience requirement
- Education requirement
- Language requirement
- Physical conditions (standing work, lifting, etc.)
- Need for special skills / certificates
- Salary and payment terms
- Whether accommodation is provided
- Whether meals are provided
- Transport / staff shuttle
- Whether workwear is provided
- Start date
- Work location / city
An interview is not only to get to know the employee
An online interview is also the employer’s chance to clearly explain the job and conditions to the candidate. What matters to explain to the candidate at the interview:
- The real content of the job and daily routine
- Working hours, shifts and days off
- Salary, timing and method of payment
- Accommodation, meals and transport
- City and working environment
- Expectations from the employee and company rules
- Duration and terms of the contract
Interview = matching expectations
The goal of the interview is not only to get to know the candidate, but also to make sure they understand the job correctly and that mutual expectations are transparent.
Misunderstanding = problems later
If the working conditions are not explained clearly at the interview, adaptation and retention problems can arise after the employee arrives.
Duties and working-conditions briefing form
A sample form to record the conditions the employer and candidate agreed after the interview. You can print and fill it in or use it as a reference.
This form is a sample for briefing. It does not replace an official employment contract; the employment contract is prepared by the employer in accordance with the law.
