At McGlynn Personnel, we believe that a transparent interview process benefits both employers and candidates. Knowing what to expect at each stage helps everyone prepare properly, ask better questions and focus on whether there is a genuine long term fit. We outline the format, tasks and timings so there are no unnecessary surprises.
Our interview process is built around clarity and consistency. We explain what will happen at each stage so that employers and candidates know how to prepare, what is being assessed and when decisions are likely to be made. This structure supports fair, informed choices and makes the experience more straightforward for everyone involved.
We help you define the interview stages, from initial calls through to final meetings and offer discussions. Each step is linked to specific objectives, whether that is testing technical capability, understanding working style or confirming cultural fit, so you can compare candidates on a consistent basis.
