We place many of our candidates overseas and suggest the first interview by phone/Facetime or Skype. However, you are welcome to interview our candidates at our London or Bath office if more convenient for you.

This depends on the client’s requirements and availability to interview potential candidates. The availability of the most suitable candidate will also feature.  We can facilitate quick turnarounds so please notify your consultant of your expectations at the very beginning when you register. Whilst some clients are keen to fill roles asap, other clients look three months in advance giving them more time for the selection process. Both time schemes work, however, please be aware that our coveted candidates and roles do get snapped up quickly, so don’t take too long in making your decision! Keeping in close contact with your consultant will ensure you don’t miss out.
