The Process We Follow
When looking at our points of difference it is clear to see how our services and the quality
of delivery surpass both Client and Candidate expectations.
We have summarised our key processes as follows:
• Candidates are registered and telephone interviewed to establish their reasons for looking
at the job market and their personal requirements i.e. salary, location, challenge etc.
• Candidate CV’s are vetted and put into a common style
• Candidate CV’s are re-written and improved to provide the client with the relevant
information required for interview.
• Candidates whose details match the criteria of Client vacancies and have been selected
for Client Interview are first Interviewed by a Connections consultant (where
required)
• Prior to a Candidate attending a Client Interview a briefing pack is given on the vacancy
and the Candidate is assessed against that brief.
• When retained a detailed interview report is prepared from the first interview process and supplied
to the Client prior to an agreement of second interview with the Hiring Manager.
• No more than four Candidates are recommended for Client interview against each
vacancy.
• Clients and Candidates are de-briefed following the interview, and feedback
provided to both.
• Assistance with the offer process can be given if required, to ensure a successful
conclusion.
• For a guide to hiring interim Managers please see www.temporary-connections.co.uk

Candidate Driven & Client Focused
We have an obligation to provide candidates with new opportunities for
stimulation and challenge. The environment must encourage growth and
improvement and the people must have a common goal. Our role is to identify the
best route for candidates to take to realise dreams and sometimes even to help
identify what these dreams can be given the best opportunity available
(we provide career management expertise to those candidates who require
advice on their interview technique, CV or career path). In order to do this we must
meet candidates and explore their career to date. We want to learn about their
successes and those times when things didn’t go so well. Together we find those
exceptional places.
We believe that our Clients dictate the quality of our services - Integrity, honesty
and the will to never compromise. The end results are always high on our Clients
agenda; therefore they are at the top of ours. We operate exclusively in
Hospitality Recruitment and are proud of the depth of understanding we have
achieved through our individual focus and passion for this rapidly changing sector.
We want to continue to explore and share this with our Clients and Candidates so
that the extraordinarily talented can be brought together to provide dining and
entertainment that is exceptional.
