Step 6:

The Recruitment Team will advertise the position through different channels and will create virtual folders on Google Drive, which will contain applications. You will have access to these folders in order to review the applications and decide whom you want to shortlist.

Step 7:

You should send the names of the shortlisted candidates to the Recruitment Team, who will communicate with Visa and Equalization Services to apply for the Government Initial approval. Once we receive the initial government approval, the Recruitment Team will notify you so that you may schedule interviews.

Step 8:

After conducting the interviews and selecting the most suitable candidate, you should send the candidate’s details to the Recruitment Team, who will conduct the reference checks and will send you the results for your final decision.

Step 9:  

If you decide to hire the selected candidate, you should notify the Recruitment Team. They will contact the candidate and offer him/her the position verbally. Upon his/her approval, the Recruitment Team will prepare the written offer and ask the candidate to sign it and send it back.  If you decide to shortlist other candidates, then you should start from step 7 again. If you wish to advertise the position through different channels or if you want to put the position on hold, please contact the respective HR Consultant.

Step 10:

After the candidate signs the written offer, the Recruitment Team will communicate with him/her to agree on a tentative joining date and get your approval.
