The Bilingual People approach to recruitment is one of quality and professionalism. By working in partnership with our clients, while respecting the needs and priorities of both clients and candidates, we are confident of meeting high level of service that we set ourselves, and that our clients demand.

However, we can only ensure that our commitment to this high level of service can be guaranteed by implementing a thorough recruitment process, which we believe delivers the best results for all concerned.

We have an extensive candidate database and are known for our reliability, confidentiality and integrity, which is supported by the ever-increasing number of direct client referrals.


Search
Finding the best candidates takes great deal of time and effort, but in our view it’s worth it. Our recruitment activities include advertising, use of careers centers, exhibitions, open evenings, recruitment fairs, direct approaches and personal recommendation. Our high-profile advertising campaigns, extensive presence in the market place and reputation ensure that we attract significant numbers of high calibre candidates, whatever the appointment.

Pre-selection interview
All prospective candidates undergo a rigorous pre-selection interview with our linguistically trained staff, to asses their suitability for particular employment, and includes both written and oral tests. All aspects of the candidates’ linguistic skills are evaluated, including fluency, grammar, spelling, construction, presentation, vocabulary and accent. For specific roles, such as secretarial staff and PAs, we also test typing and shorthand speed, accuracy, aptitude, computer competence, and may even carry out psychometric testing and handwriting analysis.

Candidate selection 
Once candidates have passed the pre-selection interview their CVs are presented to the client for their information prior to interview.

Candidate interview
We then arrange the interview at the client’s convenience and assist the selected candidates in their preparation.

Feedback
As part of our commitment to quality and professionalism, we believe that it is vital to get good feedback from both the client and the candidates following the interview. This not only ensures that we maintain a full understanding of our client’s requirements, but also helps us to further tailor our services to meet their needs.

Appointment 
Once a client makes an appointment we make sure that it is concluded to their total satisfaction. But it doesn’t end there. Our ongoing commitment to delivering a service that is second to none helps ensure that our clients come back time and again to take advantage of the Bilingual People approach to multilingual recruitment.
