We carried out individual selections, and during the interview, we checked the necessary competencies with various tasks. In the process, a new need arose – three sales managers. The selection was carried out analogously. During this time, we interviewed more than thirty candidates, fifteen of whom were introduced to the client for the next stage.
New employees of “Enefit” have been recruited using “Simplika” temporary employment service, which includes the entire employee recruitment process and document administration, in accordance with local laws. We also take care of the accounting of the payment of the employee's salary, and the accounting of other related payments and liabilities.
