What sort of application should I send and how should I send it?
Precision prefers to receive electronic candidate applications via this website as it means, with your permission, we are able to store your details in our candidate database and stay in touch. If you build your application details through our online system, your details will be retained so you can update them at any time. There is no need to send us hard-copies of your application. As Precision has an in-house recruitment model, please be advised that we do not accept unsolicited approaches from recruitment agencies on your behalf. Your application should include a summary of your employment, education and experience, plus any other information that you think we would be interested in knowing about. You may send us a general application to express your interest, or choose from one of our many advertised vacancies and make a specific application to a position. Please be advised that due to the volume of candidate applications we receive, those that are specific applications for an advertised 'current vacancy' will be given first consideration. We suggest that your application is no longer than five pages in length. Precision does not have specified selection criteria that you need to address in a written document. If we require any additional information from you, we will call you to let you know.
What happens after I apply?
If you apply to Precision through this website you should see an 'acknowledgement message' appear in your internet browser confirming receipt of your details. (Please note: You will not receive an additional email acknowledgement). General Applications: If you choose to send us a general application (that is, not relating to any of our currently advertised vacancies) we will retain your details in our system so that we may contact you again in future should a relevant vacancy become available in your preferred field and location. Due to the volume of general applications we receive across India, we are unable to provide everyone with 1:1 follow-up and suggest that you save our Careers Site address in your 'Favorites' so that you can check in on new opportunities regularly. You will be given a unique candidate number when you apply so you can log on in future you can access your private details. Specific Applications: If you choose to send us a specific application (that is, relating to one of our currently advertised vacancies) we will retain your details in our system so that we may contact you again as we move through our candidate consideration process.
Note Precision regrets that, due to the large number of applications received for any given vacancy, we are unable to personally screen every applicant. We do appreciate every expression of interest we receive. If you are being considered for the role, a Recruiter from Precision will call you and spend some time with you on the phone discussing your background and experience. Please rest assured that the Recruiters are well aware of your need for privacy and that many candidates work in an open-plan environment where a confidential discussion may be difficult. We will call and first ensure you have been contacted at a convenient time, and, if not, simply schedule a better time. Where possible, we are happy to speak with you on the phone after hours. The phone screen is also an opportunity for you to ask us any questions you may have about the role in question. We conduct these calls to help us short-list and to make sure you are fully informed about the role you are applying for and the Precision work environment. Following the phone screen, your Recruiter will let you know if you have been short-listed for interviews and next steps.
