FAQ Candidates

How do I apply for a position?

There is an Apply button at the bottom of the job advertisement which you click on to submit your CV and covering letter.

What happens to my CV once I have applied for a position?

Once your application has been processed, a shortlist will be sent to the Consultant hiring for the role who will contact you directly regarding your application.

Can I have an email address to send my CV to?

All applications need to be made online via the Job Board you have seen the advertisement on.  Once you click on the Apply button and submit your CV, your application will then be processed.

Who is the position working for?

We only deal with Recruitment Agencies, therefore, we do not know who the employer is.  If you have been successfully shortlisted for a position, the Consultant hiring for the role will be able to discuss further details regarding the role with you.

Do you have any further information regarding the position?

All of the information we have regarding the role is on the advertisement.  At this stage, this is the only information the Recruitment Agency wishes to disclose.

What is the closing date for applications?

All advertisements run for 7 days from the date advertised.  Each Job Board will show the date which the advertisement was placed.

How do I know if a position is still available?

If an advertisement is live on the Job Boards, this means the position is still available for you to apply.  If a position has been filled before the closing date, the advertisement will be removed from the Job Board.

What is the start date for the position?

If there is a specific start date for the position, it will be stated on the advertisement.  If there is no start date mentioned, this means that it is negotiable and will be discussed with the hiring Consultant at a later date.

Have you received my application?

Once you have submitted your CV, you will receive an automated email confirming that your application has been successfully received.  This can take up to an hour from the time you apply.  If you have not received an email, it means there was an error when submitting your CV and you will need to re-submit.

Can I register with your company?

No.  We are an Advertising Agency working on behalf of Recruitment Agencies.  To ensure your application is received by the most appropriate person, you need to send your CV via the Apply button where you have seen the job advertised.

Do you have a branch I can visit?

No.  We are an Advertising Agency, therefore, you do not need to register or visit us.

Do you have any other position available which I can apply for?

Any positions we have available will be live on the Job Boards or our website.  Any positions you wish to apply for will require you to submit your CV via the Apply button for each individual role.

I have applied for a position advertised by your company, will I be considered for other positions?

We are an Advertising Agency not a Recruitment Agency, therefore, we do not hold copies of your CV.  If you are interested in any additional positions, other than the one you have already applied for, you will need to submit your CV for each one individually.

How and when will I receive feedback regarding my application?

Once the advert has run for 7 days, a shortlist of suitable applicants will be compiled and contact made by the Recruitment Agency hiring for the position.  This can be via email and/or telephone.  Due to the high volume of responses, we cannot guarantee that unsuccessful applicants will always be contacted.
