Work Trials – try it for yourself

Nov 20 2007

EMPLOYERS! Work Trials can help within your recruitment process by providing the opportunity to see how well-suited the person is for the job before making the final decision.

Jobcentre Plus can arrange a Work Trial for up to 15 working days if the job is 16 hours or more a week. Some of the benefits are:

:: The chance to trial an individual before making a decision
:: Easy to arrange and minimum fuss and paperwork
:: Confidence you have chosen the right person for the job.

People applying for jobs want the chance to prove to employers that they can do the job. That is just what Alex, 24, a graphic designer from County Durham did when he was looking for his first job. Jobcentre Plus staff arranged an interview for him at Use Use, a web design organisation in Darlington.

John from Use Use said: “I would recommend a Work Trial to any employer. It just helps you to get to know the person first to see if they fit in with your team. Alex was exactly what I was looking for and I did not hesitate to offer him the job.”

Jobcentre Plus can arrange a Work Trial with the minimum of fuss and paperwork – we are sure you will find this a valuable addition to your recruitment process.
