abijac Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 We are about to lose an assistant at our Preschool who has been with us for about eighteen months. We have little time to advertise and employ someone new before Sept as break up in two weeks, but the lady who was in this position previously is interested in coming back. She is CRB checked and knows the routine of the nursery. She has also been volunteering for us recently. I was thinking that we could give her a temp contract so we have something sorted for Sept but as she has been employed by us before how do we stand about having to advertise and interview for this job. It seems a long process to go through if we have someone ideal but don't want to go against the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I spoke to ACAS last week regarding advertising. You don't have to do it, he described how companies see someone they want and 'headhunt' them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Have to agree.. recruiting and advertising should ensure you get the best person for the job.. until it is done you wont know if is someone better out there... BUT it is not compulsory and does not have to be done.. ( my son was 'headhunted '. twice! and has never really applied for a job.. they came to him, and in both cases the post was never advertised.)i would go through the usual recruitment checks and ensure you have the recent references etc.. as for any post..

thumperrabbit Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Over the years I have 'played the game' and advertised, interviewed and still ended up re-employing people known to us Last time I didn't bothe, i just re-employed, it saves so much wasted time!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
