Step 1

Get in touch: You can contact us by phone, social/professional networking sites, WeChat or email.

Step 2

Let’s discuss

Ideally, we can arrange a time to speak - face to face, on the phone or online - to discuss the role and kind of person you need. If time is short, just email us the job spec with all the details.

Either way, we’ll agree terms (ours or yours) and we’ll get started.

Step 3

The search begins.

We will discuss your requirements with our colleagues and head to our database of registered candidates (all personally met or spoken to by one of us, and all with the right to work in the country where the job is based). In addition to our database, we will source people through online sources and the role will be advertised on our own site, Linkedin and others, including specialist media such as WeChat (for Chinese) and MixB (for Japanese) roles.

We aim to have completed the search and, ideally, submitted the first candidates (depending on availability of course) by the end of the following day.

Step 4

Interviews

Following your feedback on our CVs, we will set up interviews with your preferred candidates and prepare them for the appointment.

Step 5

The offer

If all goes well, you’ll ask us to make an offer to one of our candidates; we’ll do all we can to get the offer accepted and ensure everything progresses smoothly during the referencing process.

Step 6

Day 1, Onboarding and Beyond.

We’ll send the successful candidate a Good Luck message on their first day, then over to you for onboarding. Except…our job isn’t over yet - we will stay in touch with the candidate over the coming weeks and months to check they are happy and making good progress; we’ll pass positive feedback (and concerns, if there are any) on to you, so you can be confident everything is going well. You, the candidate, and People First are happy with a job well done.
