A few cards from the deck
Recruitment process: what is it?
Show the answer
The sequence of stages leading from an application to a hire: screening, shortlisting, interviews, offer.
Each stage eliminates candidates and measures something different; knowing which one you are in tells you what is expected of you.
Who signs an internship agreement?
- The student, the host company and the school
- The student and the company, the school only being informed afterwards by letter
- The company and the school, the student not being a party to the agreement concerning them
- The student and the school, the company only giving verbal agreement to the tutor
Show the answer
The student, the host company and the school

Agencies and headhunters are paid by the employer, never by the candidate. An agency that asks you for money should raise an alarm.
Recruitment channel: what is it?
Show the answer
The route by which an employer and a candidate find each other: published offer, unsolicited application, referral, agency, job fair.
One post can be filled through several channels at once; knowing several multiplies the chances to be seen.
