This is a process that focuses on quality and consistency of service, open and clear lines of communication and ensure delivery of results. At the core of what we do, it is paramount to understand the specific needs of your business and the industry itself.

How do you cater for your clients' interests? We understand that no two companies are the same. We follow a structured recruitment process and this provides great foundations for a quality driven product; that can then be perfectly tailored to meet the specific needs of a client. In order to tailor products, we need to truly know the business and industry. To service this requirement, along with our industry training, we invite our clients to come and speak to our staff about what they look for in a CV, what their company culture is like and what we can do to ensure a successful recruitment process and also how we can ensure we act extension to your team. We are not just another third party supplier; we provide true recruitment consultancy. At Betting Connections you are run- ning a "refer a friend" initiative. Could you give more insight on this and the benefits one can receive from it? The 'refer a friend scheme' is a great initiative which gives everyone the opportu- nity to refer and earn, whilst helping a friend secure a fantastic job! If you know anyone looking for work, or perhaps someone who just wants to hear about the industry, or to register for career updates; send us their CV and contact details! If that person is new to our database, after finding a job through us and passing a brief probation period, we will give you €250! What tips would you give someone who is about to go to a job interview? Preparation is one of the most important steps in having a successful Interview! We offer all of our candidates comprehensive interview coaching sessions prior to the scheduled meetings. We won't tell them what to do or say, but rather help with research and preparation, ensuring the confidence needed to be themselves and to focus on highlighting relevant skills and strengths. Also, we advise all our candidates to ask questions! Yes, interviews are about selling yourself, but this is your career, you need to make sure the job, company and environment is right for you too. Do your research, think about what information you need to find out about the product, team, culture, processes etc... Ensure you leave the interviewer with all the relevant informa- tion to make their informed decision, but also that you can make yours too! How do you see your business devel- oping in the next few years? Betting Connections has strengthened its forces, with twelve new hires so far in 2016, a training date set for another round of new recruits in September and plans to expand further by the end of Q1 in 2016. With a team of 38 right now; "Our team is the strongest it has ever been!" says Kay Vella, head of recruitment.
