Recruitment & selection

Our location, history, commitment to and involvement with the Newham community puts us in a unique position to work with potential employers looking to recruit frontline staff. Among the full range of search and selection services we can provide are:






  • Targeting and accessing candidates from local employment pool
  • Advertising vacancies via agreed mediums
  • Managing, screening and processing application forms to completion stage
  • Processing successful applications for interview with relevant client data
  • Interview management; advising successful and unsuccessful applicants accordingly.
  • Preparing clients for interview to ensure availability and commitment to employment type
  • Assessing unsuccessful candidates and providing targeted employment/career direction training

Once the recruitment process has been completed, we can assist further by:

  • Identifying training suited to new recruits’ needs as required.
  • Identifying any funding available to pay for training and managing training schedule between employer and trainee/recruit.
  • Advising employers re. local training initiatives and funding availability.
  • Making referrals to appropriate support links as required.

By working with Jobcentre Plus, through advertising and job fairs, and by making use of our excellent links into community groups and fellow support agencies, we can access a much wider pool of candidates from all sectors of the community. These will include candidates who are currently working and seeking to move on, as well as community members seeking to re-enter the workplace after an absence.

As an employment facilitator we also are able to prepare clients for the employment you offer in a tailored programme, ensuring that targeted and relevant information is provided so candidates can make quality decisions regarding employment choices and applications.
