Recruitment Process
The recruitment process is like an opera. It is a steady series of big, set-piece arias (some solos, some duets) mixed in with some running round and less crucial performances. (Although there's far more chance of a happy ending with recruitment!). Everyone should know their role. To help you through the programme, we've prepared this list of 'big numbers', or key steps.
