We have the opportunities, but we have to make sure you are perfectly prepared. And we do. We produce detailed candidate packs that tell you everything you need to know about a role and the culture of the company. And if you’re not familiar with doing video introductions about yourself, or taking McQuaig behavioural assessments then we’ll guide you through those parts of our process. They are worth it so you don’t waste your time going to interviews that aren’t going to be a fit for you.
