Candidate Services

We offer a range of screening, testing, on the job certificates, we have listed some below. However, we offer a bespoke service, so if there is something you would like to align to your own staff, please let us know and we can discuss this with you.

Literacy Tests:

All our candidates are registered face to face, individually, in this appointment they are interviewed so they can express their expectations so we can match them to the right role. Our team ensure they fill out the application themselves, which is a good first step to understanding their understanding. Where we need to be sure of a candidate’s literacy we would conduct a literacy test, which we have in 3 levels. (These are confidential and only shared with permission to a client where there is need to).

 Dexterity:

This is a peg board test, which is helpful to check for finger dexterity.

Basic Food Hygiene certificate: this can be undertaken in our office training room.

ISV online: An assessment to skills asses a candidate as part of suitability validation for a role or as part of the interview process with a client. These are used primarily to align with clients’ own processes.
