Hill McGlynn prides itself on its high quality recruitment process which ensures that we provide the best candidates for every client's specific requirements. It is our role to pre-screen and pre-select candidates before submitting their details to a client to ensure accurate matching from both a client and candidate perspective.
Permanent
Every candidate is pre-screened by Hill McGlynn using the following process.
- A highly structured interview with a trained Consultant who will assess the overall quality of the candidate, probe and question in detail on their employment history and accurately determine the personal and career motivators of the candidate.
- A Hill McGlynn formatted CV is written for each candidate which allows the client easy comparison of different candidates' details.
- References provided by previous line managers, the written details of which are included with the Candidates CV
- Every candidate is fully briefed on the opportunity to ensure that there is a detailed understanding by the candidate of the role, the company, the career progression, support for professional development and all other areas which will ensure a match between what the candidate wants and what the client can offer. Essentially it is our job to ensure that once a candidate walks through the client's door for their first interview the client can explore areas of specific interest to them rather than start at the very beginning of the selection process.
It is Hill McGlynn's aim to provide a client with 2-3 quality CV's for each position.
Hill McGlynn also offers a range of bespoke recruitment solutions including:-
- Retained Assignments which are typically suitable for more senior or very difficult to fill roles
- Project staffing which is an appropriate recruitment methodology for major projects requiring high volumes of site based personnel
- Advertising based products which covers a range of recruitment options and is frequently used as a supporting method in an overall campaign
Freelance
The process for freelance positions is similar to that of permanent except Candidate interviews are generally conducted by phone due to the fast turn-around required by Clients. References are especially important given the very task orientated nature of freelance or contract client requirements and Hill McGlynn endeavours to obtain a reference from a client when a freelance candidate completes an assignment to ensure that the referencing process is constantly refreshed for each candidate
On average Hill McGlynn can have up to two thousand freelance candidates, from Labourers to Site Managers on site at any one time, and has a resource database of over 200,000 potential candidates, many of whom have been placed on contract assignment by Hill McGlynn and whose abilities are well known to us.
Due to the increasing importance of Health and Safety within the Construction Industry, especially in the provision of freelance personnel to site, Hill McGlynn have introduced a number of initiatives including the appointment of a permanent, full time construction qualified Health and Safety Manager, verbal site risk assessments with the client prior to commencement of the candidate and ongoing active and practical support of the CSCS initiative.
