recruitment consultant questionnaire

Thank you for your interest in working with us – tdm recruitment, the go-to recruiters for the UK’s real estate industry.

We appreciate that looking for the right company to work for can be challenging, which is why we like to operate with complete transparency. Our hiring process is made up of 3 parts, which are as follows:

1) Completion of this short questionnaire

2) If successful in completing this questionnaire, you will be invited to a formal, in-person interview at our office in Canterbury. This interview typically lasts 40 minutes.

3) If you are successful after the first interview, you will be invited to attend a final in-person interview with our Managing Director. This interview typically lasts 30 minutes.

We try to run all 3 stages as close together as diaries will allow. We are always open to feedback on our hiring process and invite you to direct any queries/questions you may have to our Ops team: operations@tdm-recruitment.com.

Thanks again for your interest!
