Interview no shows!!

Interview no shows!!

Finding the best candidate for a job role is no easy task. Scrolling thorough endless CV's and phone calls from eager job seekers as well as fending off endless calls from recruitment consultants promoting their recruitment services.

If you are an employer that chooses to employee your own staff the most frustrating thing can be INTERVIEW NO SHOWS. CLMD has done some research into the numbers and ways to overcome this problem.

As a training provider we know what it takes to get the right candidate not only that works well but has the drive and ambition to study at the same time. So why do people not turn up for interview? If candidates have a better offer why don’t they cancel? Many people do not realise that recruitment comes at a great expense in advertising and time.

At CLMD we take the risk of this away by making our candidates go through a rigorous sign up process before putting them forward to any type of employment. Our candidate have to show us that they are dedicated to work before we try and find them work. According to a poll on JobStreet, a massive 69% of candidates admitted to skipping an interview without notifying anyone at least once and 15% have done it twice. 35% of candidates gave the excuse “it’s too far for me to travel” or “the job doesn't suit me”.

It’s too far for me to travel

CLMD has a 60 minute travel policy. Before a candidate can sign up with us they have to agree to a 60 minute travel distance for work. We do not take candidate on who are not willing to do a 60 minute door – door travel and we do not match candidate with employers that are outside of this travel time.

The job doesn't suit me

Whilst are candidate are with us they are required to research not only the company that we are putting them forward for but also they must study the job description and so practice exercises which match the job role in order for them to be put forward for interview. Not only does this help us to understand the candidate we are putting forward are suitable for the job but it also helps to solidify in the candidates mind that this is the career for them. You as the employer also know that you will be getting someone for an apprenticeships who has not only practice in the role but is also fully committed to doing the job at hand. 

CLMD are a training provider who specialises in matching candidates with jobs whilst they train with us. We might be the perfect solution to finding the right employee for your company not only taking the stress away from the process but we are completely free and there are a number of perks that come along with taking on and Apprentice which we are more than happy to discuss with you.
