What happens after an introduction to an employer?

An introduction starts a direct conversation between a candidate and an employer. Understanding who handles each part of the process helps both parties know what to expect.

The role of JobScoutEU

We clarify the basic requirements and interests, introduce the parties and help them establish contact. In this model, JobScoutEU does not conduct interviews or decide which candidate is selected.

A direct conversation about the role

The employer explains the position and discusses experience and expectations with the candidate. The candidate can ask questions and consider whether the opportunity is suitable. Both parties should check that they understand the conditions in the same way.

What should you clarify?

• Who is the employer and where will the work take place?
• What are the actual tasks and working schedule?
• How are pay and other conditions described?
• Are accommodation or transport offered, and on what terms?
• What is the next step, who handles it and when is feedback expected?

Keep a record of agreed next steps

After the conversation, it helps to have written confirmation of the essential conditions and agreed next steps. Ask additional questions about anything unclear before continuing.

An introduction does not mean employment has been agreed. The candidate and employer decide whether to proceed and agree the specific terms. If you are just getting started, explore our four-step process or send a job enquiry.
