Interview Process

We set clear expectations for each stage of the interview process, including formats, tasks and timelines.

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.

  • Clear guidance on each interview stage, from initial screening to final discussions.
  • Practical information on formats, tasks and preparation so time is used well.
  • Structured communication that keeps all parties informed about progress and next steps.

Our Interview Process

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.
