Select evidence
Choose experience checks, structured interviews, work samples, practical tests, certificate verification and references.
Use one scorecard
Agree the dimensions, pass mark, interviewers and final hiring authority, then retain the decision evidence.

Questions employers ask
Can recruitment start with only a trade and headcount?
A requirement meeting can start, but a reliable quote or mobilisation date also needs the location, skills, terms, evidence method and responsible parties.
Is the brief a recruitment contract?
No. It aligns project inputs. The contract must separately set scope, fees, responsibilities, data handling, change and termination terms.
