From employer interviews to a stronger shortlist
How practical assessments and structured feedback can turn interview discussions into clearer hiring decisions.
Sample editorial guidance — not a report of a recent interview, verified market change or live worker shortage. TGL-approved reporting is pending.
Ask for evidence, not just experience
For technical, care and service roles, agree on a consistent assessment before interviews begin. A practical task, a role-specific scenario or a discussion of previous responsibilities helps employers compare candidates against the same requirements.
Make interview feedback useful
Record which skills are essential, which can be developed and why a candidate was not selected. Feedback on trade skills, communication, shift readiness and supervisory experience can help refine the next shortlist without changing standards midway through recruitment.
How TGL fits into the process
Discuss the assessment criteria with TGL alongside roles, headcount and employment terms. Screening and employer interview coordination can then follow a shared brief. This sample is not a report of a recent TGL interview; approved interview notes and candidate consent are required before publishing a real case study.
