Working with us

Our Promise to You

At City Associates our policy is to discuss all potential positions with you. We will provide you with as much information as possible, so that you can make an informed decision prior to us submitting your CV on your behalf to the companies involved.

Working With You

We will keep you informed on the progress of your applications, and upon securing an interview we will assist in your preparation.

Most people fear interviews but rest assured that prior to your interview we will give you as much preparation as possible, including advice on interview technique, how to cope with nerves and remaining calm. We ensure that you are educated on the client, what they are looking for in you and what you should be asking them.

Don’t worry if you are nervous when it comes to the interview itself, we will be happy to arrange a mock-interview with one of our consultants if you feel it would be beneficial. You will also find our ‘top tips for interviews’ on this site.

Continued Support

On accepting your new position, we can provide advice on leaving your current post and handing in your notice, but our support does not end there. One of our consultants will keep in touch throughout your notice period and we will always be on hand to answer any queries you might have.

Once you have started your new position, your consultant will contact you on a regular basis, whether you accept a temporary or permanent assignment. This means that if there are any teething problems, we will be on hand to smooth them out quickly.

Many people are so happy with our service that they refer colleagues, friends and family to us.
