Recruitment

CHANGE AGENTS UK will take the stress and time out of the recruitment process for you by looking after the process from beginning to end, so that you don’t have to. Our expert recruitment process takes 6 weeks; the minimum time from advertising an opportunity, to a change agent being in place and will ensure a thorough and tailored approach to every individual project.  

Advertisement:

For the first two weeks of the process, CHANGE AGENTS UK advertises through www.changeagents.org.uk and our database of more than 8000 environmental professionals. In addition to this, the opportunity-specific advert is posted on well-known sustainability job websites including www.environmentjob.co.uk , specific university careers service websites, as well as social media platforms to ensure maximum reach. These sites are chosen specifically to meet the needs of each role.

Shortlisting CVs:

We receive on average100 CV applications per opportunity. The CVs are shortlisted by your dedicated coordinator with reference to the essential selection criteria set out by you in the Opportunity Description.

Shortlisting by telephone interview:

Telephone interview questions are based on the essential selection criteria and are scored using a standardised scoring system. The formal interview places are offered to the top scoring applicants. This gives us a great opportunity to get to know the candidates behind the CVs and make informed decisions for the formal interview.

Formal interview:

Held at the Opportunity base, 4-6 candidates will be invited to interviews with the opportunity coordinator at CHANGE AGENTS UK present alongside at least one member of the host organisation, usually the line manager. We will facilitate and organise the interview process and ensure that the day runs smoothly.
