Build your dream team

The applications are in, but who should you interview? Screening applications and shortlisting the ones that are most suitable ensures you aren’t wasting time interviewing a plumber for an electrician’s role.

Once you have decided who looks best on paper, it’s time to chat to the applicants. It’s common to start with phone interviews and then move to face-to-face or virtual interviewing via Zoom. Interviews not only give you the chance to ensure that the applicant can back up the skills they have listed on paper, but also that they will be a good fit for your team, and vice-versa.

Once interviews are over, selecting the best applicant for the role can be daunting. Ensure you have an applicant you are happy with, otherwise we start the process over. From here, conducting background checks, referee checks and ensuring right to work in Australia can help narrow down your choice.

This is perhaps the best bit because we get to pop the champagne or drink of choice. Reach out to your preferred applicant and hope they say yes!
