At Little Sunshines Agency we are very strict and we do not enlist all candidates that come our way. In fact we only generally enlist an average of 30% of the candidates that come for interviews, as many candidates do not pass our agency interview process.
In terms of the agency interview process and enlisting candidates with our agency, ALL our candidates have met the following Agency Requirements:
