The most common interview times are 10 am and 2 pm
We would like to confirm your interview availability before we send your CV. Make yourself available, it shows interest and enthusiasm.
Giving us a range of dates and times will give us the best chance of agreeing an interview with our Client. Please inform us if you cannot attend an interview on a particular day or at a certain time.
Please be aware that it can sometimes take a week or more to make arrangements with some companies.
Once we have been asked to make interview arrangements we will of course call you. If we need to leave a message, please return our call as soon as you possibly can.
What to expect from the Ashdown Group
We will agree interview attendance over the telephone and provide full details of which company would like to interview you.
We will send you full company and interview details by e-mail and if possible, include a job description.
We will call you the day before your interview to re-confirm your interview attendance.
Confidentiality
The Ashdown Group believe that ethical recruitment is essential for everyone. We have strong moral beliefs that distance us from some of our competitors.
A sad fact of life is that some recruitment consultancies bring our profession into disrepute, with their 'results at all costs' approach to recruitment.
The Ashdown Group policy is to put people first. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for recruitment consultants at some agencies to drill their candidates for interview information claiming that they need to know exact details of the interviews you’ve attended or have arranged.
The information gained is used only to benefit the recruiter and doesn’t benefit YOU. Some recruiters will call the companies you have interviewed at to ‘pick up’ the vacancy you have just interviewed for in the hope that they can make a placement.
This of course, far from benefits you! The Ashdown Group suggests that you should keep your interview details strictly confidential in order to stand the BEST chance of securing the job you want. If you give away company names and interview information to recruiters, the likelihood is you’ll be up against fierce competition from the candidates they send to the vacancy you have told them about!
