HOW HIRING RUNS

A form and a CV. No covering letter and no 'why us' essay.

Within five working days, and you hear either way.

Forty-five minutes with the hiring manager. Questions both ways.

Three hours, paid at your day rate, done whenever suits you.

Within two days of the work, with feedback either way.

Two stages, about ten days end to end, and we pay for the second.
