With so many qualified and skilled candidates out there, how do we ensure you find the right one? 


We’ll do the hard work for you of course, screening applications and CVs, headhunting appropriate talent, shortlisting and presenting them to you for interview. 


But even then, with your time-limited and the current inability to interview in person, ensuring you make the right decision is vital. It can be a daunting choice. That’s why we go further than just sending you a shortlist of CVs; we can provide another layer to your shortlist through short video interviews with candidates which we’ve conducted ourselves. 


It was always the Stopgap way to meet all our candidates before you did, to ensure we weren’t just presenting you with people based on their CV and a phone call, but having met them and got a sense of them as a person as well as a candidate. 


Clearly, meeting candidates in person is a thing of a past for now, but we maintain that policy through these video interviews. You can set the questions you’d like us to ask, or you can leave that to us based on your brief. The recordings we send can be watched from any device, at any time and with a quick and easy way to feedback to us. 


It gives you that extra layer of information when making a decision on whom to interview yourself, giving you a sense of their personality and potential cultural fit, rather than selecting candidates for a full interview based on only their CV. We know your time is valuable and spending several hours interviewing candidates via video call only for them to not be a match is frustrating. We can give you a snapshot of that before you commit too much time on the wrong people, meaning you spend your time on the right people and get to the right decision quicker. By removing the needless first stage interview and barriers to location we can cut the recruitment to hire journey for you by almost half.
