Recruitment Policy
We acknowledge that good recruitment practice plays a vital role in the functioning and development of our organisation. Through this policy our aim is to seek out, employ and retain high quality people with the appropriate level of skills, qualifications, aptitude and attitude for each vacancy, regardless of age, race, gender, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or religious beliefs, and to provide opportunities for their advancement, promotion and training.
All application forms and letters, questionnaires, interview details and references will be treated in the strictest confidence. The information held will only be used for the purposes of the application for employment with Grundon and will not be disclosed to any third party unless required to do so in law unless specific permission has been obtained from the applicant. The details of unsuccessful candidates may be retained for a period of up to six months so that they may be considered for other suitable vacancies that may arise after which time it will be securely destroyed.
What happens when I apply for a job?
- You will receive an acknowledgement of your application (application form or CV and letter) at the earliest opportunity, ideally within 5 working days of us receiving your application.
- The manager responsible for the recruitment will draw up a shortlist of candidates by the closing date and those who meet the criteria of that particular job will be invited to attend an interview.
- The interview invitation will include a location map and details of what ID you should bring along to the interview, e.g. passport, driving licence, which must be originals and not copies, and giving details of who you should report to on arrival and if a skills test or presentation will form part of the interview. If a skills test does form part of the interview it will be appropriate to that job. You should also tell us at this point if you suffer from a disability so as we can make suitable arrangements for your interview.
- If you have been selected as the best candidate for the job an offer of the job, specifying the key terms including wage/salary and start date, will be made by the manager or the HR Department, usually by telephone followed by a formal written contract of employment. Offers will be made subject to satisfactory references, suitable ID, medical clearance and any relevant licences or certificates being obtained.
- Once we receive your signed contract we will write confirming your first day arrangements. References will be taken up as soon as possible.
- The unsuccessful candidates who were interviewed and applicants not short listed will be notified at the earliest opportunity.
