Candidate Process

Here is an outline of the main steps in our process, as well as the mutual commitments involved.

• The aim of this interview is to exchange information about your achievements and career objectives and concerning the opportunity with our client. That way, both of us can decide whether a meeting between you and our client would make sense.
• We guarantee the highest level of confidentiality. Any details and information which we gather about you will be communicated to our client only with your consent. We expect the same confidentiality from you with regards to any information which we, and potentially our client, may provide to you.
• We will proceed to submit your candidacy only if we feel that your professional experience and profile are judged to be a good fit for a specific role and provided you have a genuine interest in this opportunity.
• If we jointly decide to proceed further with this opening, we will forward a confidential report to our client. This will include information from your curriculum vitae, which you will have provided to us. It is your responsibility that the information on your CV is accurate. This data may require validation (such as copies of qualifications, certificates of employment and pay-slips). You may be asked to undergo further personality assessments, for which you may receive a copy of the results upon request.
• Should our client confirm his interest in your candidacy, a first meeting will be organised either in our or the client's premises.
• We are committed to keeping you informed regarding developments during the recruitment process. Following every contact with our client we expect you to reaffirm your continuous interest in the role as well as to bring up any issues between you and our client that may need further clarification.
• At the appropriate time we may need to receive references from third parties regarding your professional experience and personality. We will inform you beforehand and go over any confidentiality matters with you.
• If you eventually join the organisation which we have introduced you to, we will maintain contact with you as well as your new employer during the first few months of your employment, in order to ensure that you settle in satisfactorily.
• In accordance with the General Data Regulation Protection (GDPR) – EU 2016/679 law, we would like to point out that you have access to your personal information should you decide to rectify, update or remove it. If you so wish, your file will be returned to you at your request.

We hope this will give you a clearer view of the way we work and our code of ethics. We wish you success in your career and hope to have the opportunity to contribute to its development.

HR Quest / Alexander Hughes reserves the right to modify this Data Privacy Policy at any time. We will make the update available through our website.
