In this scenario, the GTO employs the apprentices and trainees, placing them with different host organisations to undergo their hands-on training. The GTO handles the wages, quality and continuity of the training and any other responsibilities required.

Reference checks are an essential part of the recruitment process, and according to a survey released by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 92% of organisations conduct them when hiring new employees.
Interviews are a crucial part of the recruitment process as they provide an opportunity for you to show that you are the right person for the job. Interviews make even the best of us nervous. However, the more prepared you are, the better you will perform.
If you have a role that needs filling, and you’d like to chat, you can request to have one of our friendly and understanding consultants call you back at a time that suits you.
