How we work

GRB Hiring Process

If you are thinking about registering or applying for careers, this page will answer many of your questions about the process.

Registration

You may upload a CV to GRB without specifying a particular job. Our experts will then match your CV with suitable career opportunities and contact you by email and/or phone to see if you are interested. This may happen within 12 hours of registering or longer depending on what graduates are in demand. We therefore cannot promise when we will contact you but we can promise that careers we introduce to you match your skillsets and abilities.

Your profile and CV will remain active in our system - which is regularly searched by GRB experts - so you may be considered for future openings that match your qualifications. However, if you desire, we will honor your request for removal from further consideration.

Application

You may upload CV and apply for a specific role. Your CV will be reviewed carefully by an expert. Due to high number of responses we attract if you do not hear from GRB within 3 weeks then your application is unsuccessful. We will however keep your details on our CV database and contact you when something more suitable comes in. If you are successfully selected for a role you can expect the following;
 
Timeline

From application to hiring decision, our hire process can take up to 3 weeks. Because the timing can be unpredictable, when an expert contacts you please let them know about any factors affecting your availability. Candidates who get to the interview stage will be notified if the position is filled by another applicant.

Preliminary screening

A designated expert reviews the qualifications of all candidates seeking consideration for a position and selects their CV for the next stage. GRB selects the candidates to be telephone interviewed.

Telephone Interview

To help align your interests with our opportunities, a GRB expert will call you to ask for additional information, such as depth of technical/professional knowledge, availability for interviews, interest in relocation, salary expectations, etc.

CV to employer

At this stage your CV will emailed to the recruiter. We will chase for feedback and contact you if you have been selected for interview.

Interviews

Before your visit, we will email you an information pack, which will include detailed directions and interview tips. When you arrive for your interview you will need to report to reception and wait instructions. Different companies have different practices, but you can expect to have a meeting with one or two interviewers. You will have the chance to share your detailed qualifications and learn more about the recruiter. In some cases, you may be asked in advance to prepare and deliver a brief presentation. Sometimes you may be asked for additional interviews before a final decision has been made.

Background checks

If you are being considered for a job offer, the recruiter will conduct a background check that covers your employment history, references, educational qualifications, etc. (When you applied, we asked you to sign a form authorising this check.) If no adverse information is reported during the check - which typically takes 3 to 5 days- they will proceed to make an offer.

Offer

If you're selected for the position and the background check is satisfactory, GRB will convey a formal offer. The offer package will include starting salary and a summary of benefits. Normally we would expect your decision within 1 to 2 days.

Hire and orientation

After you accept the offer, we will discuss and determine your start date. You will then be automatically unsubscribed from our CV database. We do not help candidates find other work once placed with a client.

We will send you a New Job Success Kit which offers useful advice for this exciting and anxious time for you. New employees generally start on Mondays but this may vary between employers. We expect you to attend on the date agreed. If for any reason there is a change in your circumstances please notify us and we can contact the employer to make arrangements if possible. 

Feedback

We ask for feedback on our service and welcome comments and suggestions on any area we can improve our service. We may also conduct other research with you from time to time.
