Work trials

If you are not sure about if a candidate is suitable why not ‘try before you buy’ by offering a work trial to a candidate. If you have a specific vacancy that you are trying to fill, a work trial would be offered on a non-competitive basis – at the end of the trial if both parties are happy then the job is theirs.
