Registering

When you come in and register with us, you will be asked to bring with you a completed application form as well as your passport and any relevant visa documentation or work permits. Our appointments run all day, from 8:30am to 5.30pm, however we understand that some people cannot get out of work at these times, so we make every effort to be flexible where possible.


On your arrival you will be tested for spelling and grammar, having completed online tests prior to coming in. You will then sit down with your consultant to discuss what you’re looking for and how to go about finding the right job to suit you. Most of the team are usually around, so you should get a chance to be introduced to everyone and get an idea of what we’re like and how we work.


Why Joyce Guiness?

What distinguishes Joyce Guiness from other consultancies is our commitment in taking the time to get to know our candidates, rather than just matching CVs to vacancies.


Over the last 45 years, our London based recruitment consultancy has celebrated countless successful appointments in a variety of roles, many of them marking the start of long-term and rewarding relationships. The more we know about who you are, what makes you ‘tick’ and what you want from your career, the better equipped we are to find that perfect job for you.


All our consultants are experienced individuals, here to listen to you. When you come in, we will spend time with you to discuss your requirements, advise you on any changes that need to be made to your CV and discuss your interview technique. We are here to guide you through the whole process.


Joyce Guiness is a small team and, as a result, you will get to know everyone and really feel part of the JG family.

Here at JG the road to finding that permanent job is easy, you just need to follow these simple steps:

 

1.        Send us your CV to [email protected] with a covering letter explaining what you are looking for (salary, sector, location, etc.) If you are applying for a specific role from our website, some background as to your interest.

 

2.        Our consultants will review your application and give you a call, so make sure you have contact details on your CV and voicemail enabled on your telephone. We will have a brief chat with you and then, if your application is relevant to roles we have on at the moment, we will arrange for you to come in and meet the team.

 

3.       You will need to complete our application form and bring it with you, along with your passport. When you arrive, you will be asked to do a grammar and spelling test before having a chat with one or more of our consultants who will talk through your CV and discuss the various options available to you.

 

4.       Once you have met and discussed various roles with your consultant, your CV will be sent forward to the role, having been agreed with your consultant. CVs are then reviewed by the client and successful applicants are invited for interview.

 

5.       As new jobs come in, you may be contacted by your consultant who will run them past you – in addition, you can help by keeping up to date with new jobs we post on our social media and website, and letting us know which ones interest you. We can’t send everyone down to every job in which they express an interest but, if not, someone will always be here to have a chat about the role and give you helpful feedback as to why your application was not successful.

 

6.       If you are successful in securing an interview, you will be fully briefed by your consultant beforehand; we will send you an email with details of the role and how to get there, and you can always give us a call with any further questions you have. For some handy interview tips go to our Resources page!

Bear in mind, there can be more than one round of interviews for a role, and some companies may ask you to complete tests (for example an in-tray exercise) – the process can take a while, but we are always on hand to guide you through and help in any way we can.



Application form

If you would like to register with us, then simply email your CV and one of our temp consultants will give you a call… [email protected]. Once they have been in contact they will ask you to keep us updated with your weekly availability, that way we will know when to keep you in mind when any jobs come up!

There are 3 main types of temp bookings:

  1. Long term/Contract – these include things like maternity leave, or sabbatical cover. We usually have plenty of notice and the client will want to see CVs and interview potential candidates, not dissimilar to a permanent placement.

 

  1. Medium term – these include things like holiday cover. There is usually some notice, and the client will usually look at CVs and occasionally interview.

 

  1. Short term – these include things like sickness cover, or staff training days. Notice is a luxury in instances like this, and we most likely get a call from a client when their office opens requiring someone for that day. This is when we make urgent calls and send candidates straight down on the strength of our knowledge of them.
