   1. This form has been designed and developed to ensure that we receive all the information WE need in order to be able to assist you CORRECTLY and it also gives you the information YOU need in terms of the process, market related salaries, fees, guarantees etc. and it will answer a lot of your queries as you complete it

6. After the interviews we will contact both the Family and the Candidates for feedback
7. Should the Family wish to offer employment we will facilitate the agreement regarding the terms of employment etc. and extend the offer to the Candidate
