Providing businesses with qualified, reliable, productive and consistent workers is our number one priority. The first stage in delivering this is conducting a rigorous screening and interview process. Our process is as follows:
Initial screen
Thousands apply to become a Sidekick every month. Around 85% make it to an interview based on our strict criteria.
1:1 interview
Our interviews are conducted virtually across all major cities in ANZ. Virtual sessions help provide flexibility for all workers especially those in remote regions.
Examples of interview questions for all roles are available upon request.
Skills testing
We test the skill competency and confidence of our Sidekicks first-hand for several roles. The skill testing includes a 20kg lift for manual labour workers and a 3-plate carry for front-of-house hospitality workers.
Documentation, license and background checks
For all Sidekicks, we conduct a right-to-work verification via integration with Certsy Right To Work.
Certificates required for each role are available upon request.
OH&S Induction
All staff must complete our OH&S Induction, followed by a quiz. Staff must achieve 100% in this quiz before progressing.
Medical Assessment Questionnaire
As part of the interview process for Warehouse and manual labour categories, all Sidekicks are required to complete a Medical Assessment Questionnaire.
Onboarding & profile setup
Our onboarding process covers expectation setting across attitude, professionalism, and our reliability policies.
Staff profiles are set up, and allocated to appropriate labour categories.
All certificates are uploaded to staff profiles along with expiry dates to ensure compliance is maintained at all times.
