As the Hiring Manager you have access to applications as soon as your requisition goes live, which means you can commence the shortlisting process.
Each applicant will be assessed against the essential criteria, and you should only score the desirable criteria if you have too many applicants meeting the essential criteria.
However, applicants who apply under the ‘Guaranteed Job Interview Scheme’ by indicating they have a disability or are part of one of our supported employment programmes must be invited to attend for interview if they meet the essential criteria. These applicants will be identified on Itrent Recruitment with a blue flag to alert you to assess their application accordingly.
All applicants on Itrent Recruitment will remain anonymous at this stage.
To support you when assessing a candidate’s work experience, the information below outlines the job evaluation definitions:
