de werving
- De baan komt beschikbaar:
If there is ‘a vacancy’, there is a job available because a new post has been created or a person might have left.
The candidates who apply for the job are also known as the ‘applicants’.
When a post/job becomes vacant, the company ‘advertises the post’ in the press or online.
We advertised the post in the national press last week and have received lots of applications.
Eight people have applied for the job just from advertising it internally.
We have your contact details so we will be in touch soon.
Although the job was advertised last month, we promoted someone internally.
The number of applicants is very high. There are a lot of people with the right qualifications, skills and experience.
Our company received letters of application from a wide range of candidates.
John’s move to Leeds has created a vacancy in Public relations if you are interested.
We don’t have any vacancies at the moment but we will keep your CV on file if you like.
We will do a pre-selection of the applicants based on their previous experience in similar companies.
This candidate doesn’t have the relevant experience in our sector but he is very well qualified in every other aspect.
We use our regular recruitment agency to advertise the post and they do a pre-selection.
There are several recruitment agencies who specialize in our sector so we can find highly qualified candidates quickly.
