What to Expect

Application and first stage interview

Upon receiving your application, approaching you via job boards or being connected via other means, we’ll organise an informal call to understand your requirements. This also allows you to see if we’re the best recruitment partner for you, based on the roles we recruit for.

Registration process

Following the initial first stage telephone call, you’ll receive a link to register with us electronically. We’ll then organise a second face-to-face meeting to better understand your personal requirements and run through any prospective job opportunities in comprehensive detail.

Interview support

Ahead of any interviews with our clients, we’ll diarise some further consultation time with you. We’ll provide guidance and support so you know who you’re due to meet and what to expect, as well as outlining the process and providing helpful interview hints and tips.

Offer management

Your recruitment consultant will manage and negotiate any offers made by our clients to ensure the best outcome is achieved for you. We’ll also handle all the necessary paperwork, so you can be confident everything is being fully managed throughout the process.

Aftercare

We’ll keep in touch pre-and-post start date to check you’re ready to go, and subsequently settling in and enjoying your new role. We’re always here in the background to support our newly employed job seekers and help with any queries you may need help with.

Amazing service from start to finish! Teams/Phone calls daily to keep me updated to landing a role within the legal field only after my first interview. Couldn’t thank Hannah Kerr enough, you’ve been amazing!

I approached JH Recruitment some months ago. While we did not end up working together, I wanted to highlight their excellent customer service. First I emailed their shared inbox and someone (didn't get their name) said to submit my CV and it would be sent to the relevant consultant. They replied very quickly, within one day. I submitted my CV and Charlotte S called and also emailed me. She was so thorough. I explained my job preferences and she clarified that while they were advertising for a role similar to what I was seeking, their primary focus was not in that specific sector. She gave more information about that particular role and we both agreed that it was not suitable. Having experience as both a job seeker and someone who has worked in recruitment, I really value JH Recruitment's timely updates and respectful communication, much preferable to being left in the dark without any response. Not beating around the bush also saves everyone's time - I appreciate that.

Charlotte Stead & Emily Lilley were fantastic & really helped me understand the role I was applying for. I was at a bit of a crossroads in my career and looking for something to suit me (lifestyle/culture) rather than where I would make the most money and Charlotte/Emily helped introduce me to my new role which ticked all boxes for me in terms of my next move. Seamless recruitment process. Thank you!

By far the best experience I’ve had with a recruiter. Davina really took the time to find out what I was looking for, was friendly and personable. We had constant communication during each stage of the hiring process which was really valuable. She constantly kept me informed and I could tell she had my best interests at heart. Would highly recommend.
