Verification over assertion: how we assess before we present

Every professional we present to an employer has passed through the same sequence. Identity and work history are verified. Certificates are checked with the issuing body, not photocopied. Where the role has a craft in it, there is a practical test, designed where possible with the employer’s own supervisor so that the standard is the site’s standard. Language and numeracy are assessed where the role needs them. And there is a structured interview against the competencies the employer named, with written notes.

The output is a shortlist with a rationale for each name: what was tested, what was observed, what the risks are. It is more work than forwarding CVs. It is also the only version of recruitment that lets an employer interview with confidence, and that lets a professional walk into an interview knowing they were chosen for what they can do.
