Here at Gateway, we understand the frustration many employers feel in sourcing and recruiting their desired candidate – in many cases the process can be lengthy, costly and require several attempts before the right candidate is found. The importance of getting it right the first time cannot be overlooked. Gateway Employment offers temporary and permanent recruitment solutions according to a cost effective, efficient and quality assured approach, involving:

On receiving a candidate request from you, our first aim is to work with you to develop a candidate profile. In order to do this, we will assign you with a recruitment consultant who will ask a series of questions relating to the job description, your business practice and company culture and values.

Once a profile of your desired candidate has been established, your designated recruitment consultant will review our extensive employee database to shortlist candidates that fit the pre-determined profile.

We will then discuss the results of our search with you, allowing you to either interview selected candidates, or arrange for a start date to commence employment.

As part of our ongoing quality assurance procedures, a member of our team will contact you once we have filled your assignment to check the placement is progressing well and address any concerns you may have.

For added convenience we offer a Temp to Perm service which offers you the opportunity to evaluate the performance of a candidate on a temporary basis prior to offering a permanent contract. Should the temporary placement last for a minimum of thirteen weeks, then we will arrange for the transfer from temporary contract to permanent contract at no cost to you.

As part of our comprehensive approach to recruitment, we offer various training courses at very competitive rates. A list of our most popular courses are provided below, however, should you require any specific courses not listed, then please contact our training department who will tailor a course to suit your requirements.
