Recruitment
As part of ESTAR's recruitment service, we present the employer with a list of screened candidates ready for interview. The screening process is important as it makes sure the right candidate is selected and is aware of their commitments as an apprentice and employee.
This saves the employer time and makes sure all candidates are eligible for their training choice. In addition, it makes sure all applicants fit the role and the company. The employer is in control at every stage of the process and is supported by a dedicated ESTAR Coordinator.
ESTAR manages the whole recruitment process, updating the applicants and employers at every stage. Once an new vacancy has been posted by ESTAR, the selection process is as follows:
1. Applicant screening
All applicants are initially screened by ESTAR to confirm eligibility for the programme. This is an important step as it ensures applicants fit the criteria for the employer, and the training program.
2. Telephone interview
ESTAR completes a telephone interview with all applicants to further confirm eligibility and establish important details about the candidate. The interview assesses the candidate’s suitability for the role, their work experience, and level of education.
The applicant is given a full rundown of the programme delivery, programme expectation, and job description. This step makes sure the candidate shares the company values and suits the position.
3. Employer shortlist
Employers and managers are sent a shortlist of eligible candidates. Key details including candidate CV and notes from the screening and telephone interview steps are included. The shortlisting process saves managers time and makes sure they only receive the best candidates.
4. Candidate interview
Employers will be able to offer interviews to the shortlisted candidates, who are fully eligible for the programme. ESTAR can help with the interview management process and provide interview support if required.
The candidate will be fully updated about every stage of the interview process by ESTAR's recruitment team. This includes important information such as date, time and location of the interview alongside support and guidance to help candidates prepare
5. Employer selects the successful candidate
The employer chooses the successful candidate and contacts the ESTAR Coordinator to arrange the onboarding process.
Before starting the programme, all new employees will need to complete an initial assessment process led by ESTAR to tailor the programme to their existing knowledge.
