Clients FAQ's

Q: Contingency based recruitment?

A: Our services are contingency based which means that unless you appoint one of our candidates our service costs you nothing, so, if required, you can view CVs and interview several candidates to find the best candidate for the role without any obligation.

Q: How can you be so confident of your people?

A: We have an enormous database of qualified Audiologists and HAD's and other healthcare sector professionals and our rigorous screening process helps us quickly narrow the choices down to a few ideal candidate(s) for each project. The shortlisted candidate is then thoroughly pre-screened and telephone interviewed before you ever meet them. They fill out a detailed questionnaire containing their references, employment history, technical skills, etc, a copy of which is submitted with each CV.

Q: What kind of pre- screening?

A: We double-check references, verify past employment, and confirm the degrees and certifications they claim. PPRUK 's in-house team telephone interview them to confirm that they do, in fact, possess the expertise they claim.

Q: Where do you find all this great talent?

A: Referrals, networking, user group meetings, Internet postings, plus lots of hard work, telephone calls, and emails. PPRUK 's reputation for quality also attracts a lot of fantastic referrals.

Q: How do you make sure there's a good match between my specific needs and the candidates' skills?

A: It's a four-step process:

Consultation - When you first contact us about a vacancy, we immediately schedule a conference call with you or your hiring manager, to ensure we fully understand the specific requirements of your project.
Confirmation - A summary of our conversation is sent back to the hiring manager to confirm that we correctly understand your requirements.
Search - We begin querying our database to identify potential candidates and using our network of web based add to this shortlist.
Probe - The most promising candidates are then contacted by one of our experienced consultants. We interview them by telephone, which helps us accurately gauge each candidate's personality and related technical experience, to ensure there is a comfortable professional and cultural fit.

Q: That must take a long time.

A: Not with our database of candidates. Within 48 hours of receiving your request, we have usually located several candidates that match your specifications. We will then fully brief all suitable candidates with a view to presenting the shortlist to you within 5 working days. Only suitably qualified candidates who are genuinely interested in the opportunity, location and package will be presented to you.
