First meeting

The first meeting is usually with Equinox's Talent Manager and, depending on the role you are considering, may include a consultant from your peer group. They will:

• Review your CV and other supplied information

• Confirm your remuneration expectations, employment motivators and career goals

• Discuss the Equinox philosophy, culture, values and your 'fit' to these

• Evaluate your general skills, experience and development potential

• Assess the alignment of your technical skills to our requirements

Second meeting 

The second meeting is generally more technical in nature and along with the Talent Manager the meeting will normally include a Sales Team member and Practice team members from your peer group. They will:

• Respond to any questions you may have

• Explore areas of interest arising from the first interview

• Assess your specific technical competencies and capabilities

• Outline Equinox’s business strategy and services provision

If you are successful but have further questions arising from the second meeting, a third meeting may be scheduled.

Reference checks

If you successfully complete the interview stage Equinox will undertake reference checks and will want to talk to previous line managers, clients and peers.

Management of the process

The recruitment process at Equinox is actively managed throughout by our Talent Manager, so you will always be able to discuss progress and understand where you are in the process.

Subject to your timeframes, we aim to complete the recruitment process within 5 working days, however this is dependent on the availability of our consultants working on client sites.

Information provided by you during the recruitment process will be used by Equinox to make a recruitment decision only and will not be used for any other purpose.
