Candidate FAQ
I have sent a copy of my CV to Sigma and I can see some vacancies on your website that I think I am suitable for, why haven't you called me?
This could be for any number of reasons, sometimes clients are specific about industry sector experience, for example they might have told us that they only want to see candidates with automotive industry experience. It could also be that based on the information that we hold on you we don't think that you would be interested for example, if you told us that you were looking for a minimum of '25K and the vacancy is paying '22K. If in doubt then please call and we can double check.
I have been put forward for a role with Sigma Recruitment and want to apply for another role through Sigma, is this okay?
YES, you can apply and be put forward for as many roles as we deem you suitable for. If you get an offer from more than one client the decision will be yours as to which one you accept.
What are the benefits of registering with Sigma Recruitment?
Sigma Recruitment is a reputable recruitment agency with many years experience in the sectors that we cover. We have in-depth market knowledge and will therefore be aware of many vacancies that are not advertised in the press or through other agencies. We also manage your application and will liaise with the client on your behalf. Sigma can also give CV feedback, interview advice and negotiate salaries at offer stage.
Will Sigma Recruitment send my CV to clients without contacting me?
NO, we will never do this, we only present your details to a client after we have spoken to you about the vacancy, the company and received your permission to do so.
I have applied for a vacancy online; does this mean that my details have been sent to the client?
No, we screen all applications and call suitable applicants to discuss the role and make them aware who the end employer is.
I have applied for a vacancy and I have not been contacted?
We acknowledge all applications via e-mail, if we think that you are suitable for the role then we will contact you to discuss the role within 3 working days. If we have not contacted you by then it could be that we felt you were unsuitable for the role or that we have not received your CV. Please check your email to see if you have received our automated response, which confirms that we have received the CV. If you really think that you are suitable and we have got it wrong then please give us a call and we will explain our decision, CV's can be very ambiguous and we can make mistakes as well!
I have spoken to a consultant and been put forward for a vacancy through Sigma Recruitment; I have not had any feedback yet?
We always provide feedback to all candidates that have been presented to the client; this will be via e-mail or letter and will happen at the end of the recruitment process i.e. when the vacancy has been filled. You can call us at anytime for an update.
