Recruitment Tips

Reduce uncertainty between application and interview in community programme support

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Give candidates for community programme support enough information to prepare and plan.

Send a clear invitation with the interview location or meeting link, duration, format and contact details. If the process includes an exercise related to participant sign-ups, attendance and venue booking, explain its scope and whether candidates need to prepare anything in advance. Give a way to raise access or travel questions.

Close each stage clearly

When plans change, tell candidates what changed and what they need to confirm. After the interview, give an expected date for the next update and correct it if circumstances change. Keep one reliable record of which message each candidate received.
