Cathedral Appointments | South West Recruitment

⭐ How to choose between two super candidates ⭐ We can all relate to the feeling of having two incredible candidates... and just one role available. It's a great problem to have, but how do you choose? 🔹 Revisit your job description or job ad to remind yourself what you’re looking for 🔹 Assess what each candidate’s experience gives away about their credentials 🔹 Try to get a feel for who wants the job more 🔹 Think about who you get on with better; who fits the company culture 🔹 Seek the opinions of everyone who has had contact with the candidates 🔹 Ask yourself which candidate you would hate to lose to a rival 🔹 Consider holding a final interview to assess on-the-job skills As always, if you need support finding candidates or your interview process, get in touch via 📨 info@cathedralappointments.co.uk #interviewtips #hiringtips #southwest #exeterjobs

Is hybrid working the way forward? That was the topic on everyone's minds yesterday at our second Talking HR with Cathedral Appointments event! We set up Talking HR to give HR and talent professionals from across the South West the opportunity to connect, share insights and discuss topics affecting people in the workplace. We are hugely grateful to our speakers Su Apps, Helen Blackmore, Lucy Clemas MA, MCIPD and our very own director Clodagh Murphy for giving up their time to share their experiences.👏 Our event was also in support of our charity of the year Balloons (Devon) - thank you for your donations to their fantastic work. We had a huge interest in our event so if you would like to be added to the waiting list for our next event in the Spring, please contact Joanne Caine 📨 #TalkingHRwithCA
