  • Screening: a designated LMP recruiter will sift and screen suitable applicants, making sure they are eligible and suitable for the job role/fit the criteria you provide.
  • Shortlisting: CV, certificates and any other documents such as employer application forms are then sent over to the employer to consider for interview.
