management roles FAQs

Do I need to pay for your service?

No – it’s completely free for jobseekers. We’re here to support you, whether that’s giving career advice, helping you find the right role, or guiding you through the whole application process. Employers cover our fees, so you can focus on finding your next opportunity without any worries

What’s your recruitment process? How does it all work?

We get to know you – your skills, experience, and exactly what you’re looking for in your next role. From there, we don’t just send you jobs; we speak directly with employers who we think would be a great fit for you. We ask the questions you might not have time for, handle the legwork, and make sure your application lands in the right hands. We’ll support you every step of the way, giving advice, guidance, and a little encouragement too – all to help you make a career move that’s right for you.

Can I talk to you about salary expectations?

Of course. We’re experts in this area and can advise on what salary you should realistically be aiming for based on your experience and the current market. We’ll have an open, honest chat about your current package and where you could be earning more.

How long does the process take? And when will I hear back?

It depends on the role and the employer. Some employers move fast; others take a little longer. Either way, we will keep you updated at every stage so you always know what’s happening.

Will I have a main contact at Talentshed?

Yes. You’ll have a dedicated partner who gets to know you and supports you through every step. And if they’re ever unavailable, there’s always someone able to help, already up to speed, so you can always see what’s happening with your search.

Can Talentshed help with interview preparation or CV advice?

Absolutely. Whether it’s shaping up your CV or running through interview questions, we'll support you every step of the way. With our industry expertise and connections, we know what works and will share that with you. We’ll give you honest feedback, practical tips, and real insight for what to expect and how to put your best foot forward – so you can walk into an interview feeling prepared and confident.

Will you ask me before sending my CV?

Always. Your privacy matters and looking for a new role is a big deal – we respect that. We’ll talk you through every opportunity and only share your CV once you’ve given the go-ahead. Unlike some agencies, you’re always in control of where your details go.

What happens after I accept an offer?

Once you accept, we’ll stay in touch to make sure everything runs smoothly – from contracts to start dates and beyond. And our support doesn’t stop there; we’re here to help you settle in and thrive in your new role.

Will I get feedback if I’m not successful?

Yes. We’ll always do our best to get feedback and share it with you. Being honest is part of who we are, and it’s a key part of the support we provide. Even if you don’t land the job, you’ll know what to work on for next time.

Are flexible hours, weekends off, or school-hours contracts an option?

It depends on the role and the employer, but we work with a range of opportunities that offer flexible schedules, no weekends, or school-hour patterns. Share what works for you, and we’ll help find a role that fits your lifestyle.
