FAQs, in other words, the questions most often raised by employers
Below you will find a list of the most frequently asked questions regarding taking on employers via Start People. We hope the answers will be of assistance. Should you need any additional information, our Consultants are at your disposal.
If I want to benefit from Start People Professionals Recruitment and Selection services, what kind of contract will I have to sign?
When you start cooperating with Start People Professionals Recruitment and Selection service, you will receive our draft personnel consultancy contract. The contract specifies the scope of both the parties’ obligations, the terms and conditions of the cooperation, as agreed upon during previous meetings, and detailed descriptions of your candidate specifications. Start People Professionals renders custom-tailored services, endeavouring to meet the varied expectations of our clients, meaning that every contract is individually negotiated.
Is it possible to utilise Start People Professionals services at the recruitment stage only?
Yes, most certainly. In striving to meet our clients’ expectations, among the services we provide is placing advertisements for a client within our template adverts. The client then receives the applications we receive in reply to a given advert and proceeds with selecting the candidates without Start People Professionals participation. Another variant is for Start People Professionals to make the initial selection from among the applications received; the Client consequently saves the time which would otherwise be devoted to selecting those applications which fulfil the requirements.
During recruitment, how long does it take for the first candidates to respond?
As a rule, the entire selection and recruitment process lasts approximately 4 to 6 weeks. However, Start People Professionals begins recommends the first candidates to clients as early as one week after the project is launched. This is possible thanks to such Start People Professionals features as our constantly updated candidate database. Start People Professionals has developed a flexible approach towards its clients’ requirements and always endeavours to present candidates within the time-limits set by the client.
Will Start People Professionals consultants help me to create the job description of the position I wish to fill?
Start People Professionals consultants provide substantive support during the course of every project. We prepare job descriptions at the client’s request, subsequently collaborating with the client to refine them in order to ensure that they correspond precisely to the company’s current needs.
How does the Recruitment and Selection Services Guarantee work?
Start People Professionals provides a guarantee for the Recruitment and Selection Service. Depending on the position to be filled, the guarantee is granted for a period from two to twenty months. If the client dismisses the employee or the employee resigns from the post within the warranty period, Start People Professionals will seek, and recommend, another person for the position without charging any additional fees.
In the case of a Personal Audit, does Start People Professionals give feedback directly to the client company’s employees?
Personal Audit always concludes with feedback to the employees. Experienced Start People Professionals consultants prepare a summary report and feedback for those participating in the Audit. Depending on the client’s requirements, the feedback may be given in a specified form, and may either be presented by Start People Professionals or directly by the employer.
I would like the candidates, who are to be recommended to me, to have been tested on their knowledge of Excel first. Is this possible?
When setting up cooperation with a client, Start People Professionals always establishes what tests the client would like to see included in the selection process. We offer a broad array of tests, including psychometric and competence tests. We can also carry out tests in order to check the candidates’ command of various foreign languages, or their specialised knowledge, and so forth.
