Childcare Shortlist Recruitment Service

The Shortlist Service

You manage the recruitment decisions. We help you find the people worth meeting.

Our Shortlist Service is designed for families, individual clients, case managers and other professionals who want to stay in control of recruitment but need specialist help advertising a vacancy, reaching suitable candidates and preparing a shortlist.

We take time to understand the role and promote it through Snap Care's established networks, so you can concentrate on speaking to candidates and choosing the right person.

Specialist recruitment support, with you in control

Following an online consultation, your recruiter creates a bespoke vacancy advert for your approval.

We promote it on the Snap Care website, through our extensive candidate database and networks, on social media and on premium external job boards.

We then speak to applicants to confirm their interest and whether they meet the objective criteria you have set.

You receive the shortlisted candidates' CVs and a criteria checklist, ready to take the next steps yourself.
