Recruitment FAQ's

 

  Do I need a covering letter with my CV?

It depends!

Read the job advert and check whether the instructions ask for one - if it does then yes, you should include one.

If the job advert does not specify, then consider whether you have anything to add to your CV that would be served by a covering letter. A covering letter should not be a repetition of your CV; if you're going to include one, then make sure it has something different to say that cannot be deduced from your CV. 

For advice on writing a covering letter, see our Resources  page. 

  Can an agency help me prepare for interview?

Yes.

When we put you forward for a role, we will make sure we tell you all we know about the job role and the employer and answer any questions you may have so you feel more at ease about the process. 

We also have a comprehensive set of ideas for good interview preparation in our Candidate Advice section. 

  How does a recruitment agency work?

A company has a vacancy, a job role that needs filling. Rather than spend a lot of time and money advertising a job role and then sifting through all the CVs, they come to an agency like us. They tell us their requirements and we advertise the role on their behalf. People looking for a job (candidates) come to us and register their requirements. We then match candidate requirements to jobs we know our clients are looking to fill. We set up the interviews and take care of any negotiations or questions that come up. If the client and the candidate are both happy, then we place that candidate in the role, filling the vacancy. The client (not the candidate) pays us (the agency) a fee.

  How do I find a good employee?

Finding the right person - the person with the right combination of skills, experience and personality to fit your role and your company can be time-consuming which is why ASL Recruitment is here!

We spend time getting to know our clients and we personally interview every candidate we register. We do this so we can be as sure as possible that we find the right fit, the fit that ensures a lasting placement where everyone is happy. Our success rate is pretty good too - it's why we offer one of the best rebate terms in the industry!

  What kind of jobs come up most often in Hastings?

Hastings has quite a diversity of businesses looking for staff. Being a seaside town, there are many jobs within hospitality and leisure and some of those are seasonal. We also have thriving manufacturing and engineering sectors and they often require operatives and office-based staff across their business, from administrative to HR, Marketing to Management. Look at our Sectors page to see the wide range of industries and roles we cater for.

  What is a temporary worker?

A temporary worker is someone hired on a non-permanent basis. A temporary worker with a recruitment agency means you've agreed to work through us for a third party. We are responsible for your holiday pay, National Insurance contributions, maternity and paternity pay and adoption pay. A temporary worker may work on a full-time, part-time, or casual basis.

  How much does it cost to use a recruitment agency?

Don't worry - if you're a job seeker, it doesn't cost you anything.


For clients looking to fill vacancies. fees are calculated on a percentage basis according to the annual salary of the role they've been offered. Full details can be found in our terms of business. You can get a copy of these by emailing us at hastings@aslgroup.co.uk

  How do you write an impressive CV?

When it comes to writing a CV, it's important to get your qualifications and experience relevant to the job you're applying for listed prominently. You'll probably need to tailor your CV for each job application. This will help you stand out. A CV should also clearly state your name and contact details so it's easy for prospective employers to contact you.

Find out more about CV writing under our Candidate Resource page, CV Advice.

  How can I find reliable temporary staff?

Temporary work by its very nature can make it tricky for businesses to find reliable workers. At ASL, we value our 'temps' and treat them as if they were truly members of our team. We do this in a number of ways - we make sure they are paid fairly and on time, receive their full holiday entitlements and pension accruements. We also offer incentives such as the Worker's benefit Scheme, which gives them access to discounts, vouchers, and savings across a range of brands, products and services - just the same as employee perks! 

When workers feel valued, reliability becomes less of an issue. Besides - our temps really are part of our team, so we all work hard to make sure none of us lets anyone else down. 

  As a business, how do I register a role I need filling?

You can fill out our online form under the tab ‘Get Your Role Filled’ . Please fill in as much detail as possible. There is also the option to attach a detailed job description. Once submitted, one of our team will get back to you to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Alternatively, we are always happy to talk directly to our clients, so if you would like to discuss your options phone us on 01424 452999.

  How do I register as a candidate with a recruitment agency?

With our online system, you can register for an account, 365 days a year, 24 hours per day – so you don’t have to wait for our offices to be open. You can register at the same time you apply for a vacancy, although we will need to verify your Right to Work status and interview you before submitting your application – we interview every candidate personally, rather than relying on an automated system. This gives us the opportunity to understand you better and gain insight into what type of environment is going to suit you best.
