Employer Questions
Can we speak to someone before asking you to recruit?

Yes. You can speak to the Vettam team before deciding whether to proceed. We can discuss the role, your requirements and what you are looking for before any recruitment work begins.

Can you work from a job description that isn't fully finalised yet?

Yes. If you have the main requirements but the job description is still being finalised, we can work with the information available and help clarify what is needed before starting the search.

What if we need someone with a very specific combination of skills?

That is something we can work with. Tell us what is essential, what is preferred and what experience the person needs to have. We can then search specifically around those requirements rather than treating the role as a standard vacancy.

Can you help us understand whether our requirements are realistic?

Yes. If a requirement is particularly specialised, we can discuss the combination of skills, qualifications, experience and location you are looking for and provide practical feedback based on the candidates available to us.

Can we meet or speak to a candidate before requesting their full details?

Yes. Candidate profiles can be used to give you an initial view of the candidate's experience and relevant skills. If you would like to proceed, the next step can be arranged with the candidate before you make any employment decision.

Can Vettam approach people who aren't actively looking for work?

Yes. Where appropriate, we can approach candidates who may not currently be actively looking but could be open to the right opportunity. This allows us to look beyond candidates who are already applying for vacancies.

Candidate Questions
What happens after I register with Vettam?

Your information is reviewed and added to the Vettam talent pool. When an opportunity matches your experience, qualifications, location and availability, we may contact you about the role and discuss the next steps.

Do I have to be actively looking for work to join?

No. You can join the Vettam talent pool even if you are currently employed or not actively looking. You can let us know what type of opportunity would make you consider a move.

Can I tell Vettam what type of work I don't want?

Yes. You can tell us about the roles, locations, shifts or types of work you are not interested in. This helps us avoid contacting you about opportunities that are not relevant.

What if I'm interested in a role but don't meet every requirement?

You can still let us know that you are interested. Some requirements may be essential, while others may be preferred. We will consider your overall experience and qualifications against the requirements of the role.

Can I decline an opportunity without affecting future opportunities?

Yes. You are free to decline an opportunity if it is not right for you. We will continue to consider you for other opportunities that may be a better match.

What happens if I accept an interview and then change my mind?

Let us know as soon as possible. We understand that circumstances can change. Keeping us informed allows us to manage the process professionally and update the employer where necessary.

Can I be considered for more than one type of role?

Yes. If your experience and qualifications are relevant to different types of positions, we can consider you for suitable opportunities across your areas of experience.

What if my certificates or documents are outdated or still being replaced?

Let us know. We can record what documentation you currently have and what is outstanding. Where a specific certificate or document is required for a role, this will need to be addressed before the relevant stage of the recruitment process.

Can I ask Vettam to update or remove my information?

Yes. You can contact Vettam to request an update to your information or request deletion where applicable. We will handle the request in accordance with our data protection and retention requirements.
