Recruit

= RECRUIT = = =  We RECRUIT   staff that fit our team's ethos and approach. As we recruit to our team, the essential steps in the recruitment process become: the clarity of the job description the accuracy of the application screening the humanity of the interview the personal touch when checking references. It is the latter two which ensure that the person hired is not simply qualified for the position but is also an ideal fit for the character composition of the existing team. In order to do this effectively, we must be honest and frank with potential recruits so that they too know what to expect on arrival at the new workplace. We not only look for specific characteristics in the new hire but also allow them to explore our institution’s ethos and character. In addition, we have to be strong enough to reject applicants when necessary in order for: (a) the current team to remain effective and (b) the candidate to find a better – suited position.
