You will need to come into an Adecco office and you may need to allow about 4 hours for the entire recruitment process. This may be conducted over several sessions.
Documents
When you arrive, we will ask you to read and complete some documents so that we can create a file for your employment with us.
These will include:
- Employment Application Form
- Ministry of Justice Form
Assessments (Some roles only)
For some jobs you apply for - often office, professional and Call Centre jobs - we may send some assessments to your home for you to before we meet you. This will give us a good understanding of your skills and also what sort of work environment suits you the best. If you don’t have a home computer, don’t worry- you can do these when you come in to the office.
Interview
If you are being considered for a vacancy, you will have an interview with one of our consultants so that they can gain an understanding of your work history and experience, what type of position you are seeking and are suited for and they will also ask about the factors that impact on your work. This is an opportunity for the consultant to get to know you in person and for you to learn more about Adecco. It’s all part of the selection and matching process.
Licences and Qualifications
We will take copies of these and retain them on file. We will verify them to make sure they are current and valid.
Passport with any work permits and visas etc
We need to ensure that you are eligible for employment and to work in New Zealand and we will hold a copy of these on file.
Ministry of Justice Check
When you complete our application for employment form we do ask you to declare any current or pending convictions you may have (subject to the Clean Slate Act 2004) and we will require you to complete a Ministry of Justice form which we send away to obtain a criminal conviction report to verify what you have told us.
Please be honest with us and disclose any convictions you may have or if you have charges laid against you. Not all convictions will prevent you from getting a job. It will depend on the nature of the role and the type of conviction you may have. However, if you don’t disclose an offence and we subsequently find that you do have conviction(s) or charges pending that you have not disclosed to us, it is unlikely we can assist you further to find work or if you are placed into work by us we may need to remove you from the assignment you are placed onto or if you are placed into a permanent role with one of our clients they may have reason to discontinue your employment. .Your honesty is important to us.
References
Part of our recruitment process helps us to gain further insight into your work history by speaking to referees you nominate to us. We will need the contact details of at least two work related referees who must have supervised you directly in a working environment in the past. We ask them a series of questions based around your ability, performance and interpersonal skills to ensure that we further understand your work history and can verify details you have provided to us.
Health, drugs and alcohol
Adecco has a zero tolerance to the use of drugs or alcohol in the workplace. As part of our recruitment process we will require you to read and sign our drug and alcohol policy which you will find in our document library. We may require you to undergo pre employment drug testing and we will advise you of this during our recruitment process. Some employers and our clients ask for additional checks to be performed regarding your health and wellbeing such as eye sight and hearing tests as examples and they may also require particular substance testing to be undertaken. Once again we will advise you of these requirements during the recruitment process.
Induction
If you wish to work for us as a temporary employee and you have had all of the pre employment processes completed and we think we will be able to provide you with work, we will undertake a comprehensive pre employment induction with you. This is where we further explain what we require from you, provide and explain to you employment related documentation such as your Individual Employment Agreement, tax code declaration and other payroll and policy information and we will require you to complete these. We will also review comprehensively our health and safety policies and will allocate a segment of the induction specifically to health and safety to ensure we have advised you of good health and safety practises and so you gain an understanding of how important keeping yourself safe at work is.
