Miracles' staff spend a considerable length of time vetting candidates, they are accomplished, experienced and qualified Recruitment Consultants. After interview, references are taken up and reviewed and candidates are discussed with senior staff before registration finally takes place. If it is considered necessary, references will be followed up verbally. It is not always possible to obtain a reference from a current employer. If there is a firm job offer, subject to such a reference, and if the candidate agrees, a reference can then be taken up by the Agency or Client.
Although the Agency endeavours to ensure the suitability of any candidate introduced to a Client, the Client should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of any applicant and should take up any reference provided by any candidate and/or the Agency before engaging the candidate. The Client is then responsible for obtaining work and any other permits and for satisfying any other requirements or qualifications required by law.
Miracles' staff will only recommend those candidates they consider to be suitable for a particular position and company. The Agency have approximately twelve hundred candidates on file at any one time, but present clients will have a choice of the best and most suited to the particular position in question.
