CANDIDATE SCREENING & REFERRAL SERVICES
Find the Right Candidates Before the Interview Begins
Finding applicants is one thing. Identifying candidates who are prepared, qualified, and aligned with the opportunity is another.
Both Sides of the Hire provides practical candidate screening and referral support to help employers strengthen the front end of the hiring process. By reviewing candidate qualifications, conducting structured initial conversations, and identifying potential matches, employers can spend more time interviewing candidates who are better prepared for the opportunity.
What We Can Provide
Candidate screening and referral support can be tailored to the employer, position, and hiring needs. Services can include:
Resume & Qualification Review
Review candidate experience, skills, and qualifications against the requirements of the position.
Structured Candidate Screening
Conduct consistent initial conversations designed to better understand candidate experience, interests, availability, and alignment with the opportunity.
Candidate Preparation
Help candidates understand the opportunity and prepare to communicate their experience and value effectively before meeting with the employer.
Candidate Referral
Refer candidates whose qualifications and interests align with the employer’s stated requirements and hiring needs.

How It Works
Every employer and hiring need is different. Screening and referral support is built around the position, the employer’s requirements, and the type of candidates they are looking to reach.
1. Start With the Hiring Need
We’ll discuss the position, required qualifications, preferred experience, workplace expectations, and what the employer is looking for in a successful candidate.
2. Establish the Screening Criteria
We’ll identify the qualifications, experience, and other job-related factors that should guide the initial screening process.
3. Screen & Prepare Candidates
Candidates can be reviewed through resumes and structured initial conversations to better understand their qualifications, interests, and alignment with the opportunity.
4. Refer & Connect
Candidates who align with the employer’s stated requirements can be referred for consideration, with communication and follow-up supporting the connection between both sides.
