What NOT To Wear To Your Interview

Most people know that you should always dig out your best suit or business attire for an interview – but you would be amazed at what some people turn up wearing. Part of preparing for a job interview is making sure you come across as a good addition to their company. Although appearances shouldn’t matter,

Elisha - Candidate
“Fantastic service from Liz and the team at Dovetail – really helped me build my confidence for the job interview and get the job I really wanted.”
Sally - Bournemouth
“Dovetail Recruitment have always provided us with a friendly and very professional service. They worked at getting a great understanding of the business needs and our company culture. From this, they have provided candidates that have been a good “fit” for our business and made our recruitment process painless and cost-effective.”
Director

“I cannot begin to thank the wonderful ladies at dovetail enough! Especially Suzie! Not only did they go above and beyond to help me find a job they also were friends to me when I was struggling! I can not recommend them enough for all of their support and advice. I am just about to start my new role and it is all down to them! Thank you so much!!! “

Holly - Bournemouth
“What a breath of fresh air! – Laura and the team worked to find me the perfect role and supported me throughout the application and interview process. Friendly and professional. Highly Recommend.”
Esther - Fordingbridge
“I got the Accounts Assistant job!!! Just want to say thank you very much for all the help you gave me. I couldn’t have done it without you or your team. They seem like the perfect company who will help me learn and gain experience I am looking for. Thanks again!”
Kelly - Bournemouth
“I’ve been delighted with the service from Tiffany, she only sends us quality candidates and manages the recruitment process very professionally.”
Chartered Financial Planner
“I have been thoroughly impressed with the overall service provided by Dovetail. Tiffany took the time to really understand our business and culture and has only ever provided candidates that meet our needs exactly. Sometimes too well and we have been spoilt for choice, having to recruit two people as they were both too good to let go. I can highly recommend Dovetail, as having used large National agencies in the past and believing their service and networks were superior to a local agency, I have been totally converted and know this is not the case. Dovetail are now my first port of call.”
Head of Finance
I would like to thank you, for your hard work. I have already recommended your firm to all my colleagues. After going through several agencies. You always kept me informed at each stage of the interview process, always followed each interview I attended with a curtesy call to see how things went. You have always listened. In my mind this is missing in todays agencies. As most only want the commission. Making you feel no longer  like a human but more a commodity. Keep up the sterling work and once again Thank you.
Roger - Bournemouth
Excellent service! I have my dream job now and cannot wait to start! Thank you so much!
Heidi - Bournemouth
Dovetail Recruitment is brilliantly professional and efficient. Their personal and friendly service has been exemplary in helping me seek future employment and presented me with some excellent opportunities. They provide fantastic support along the whole process. I would highly recommend Dovetail to anyone seeking a professional career.
David Q - Candidate
“We have been working with Dovetail Recruitment since May 2014 and always find Liz and her team to be friendly, helpful and professional. Unlike other recruitment agencies, they have taken the time to understand our business and specific needs. As a result, the candidates that are put forward by Dovetail are by far more relevant to the role and are of high standard. Dovetail have already successfully filled vacancies for us in administration, HR, marketing, accounting and yard operations and we look forward to continuing to build on our working relationship.”
Operations Manager
“Tiffany has been absolutely fantastic. I wasn’t happy in my role and I needed a change. Recruiters always call you and try to sell you a role on more money with the same skill set- because that will benefit them commission wise. I didn’t feel I was being listened to, as to what I wanted as my situation was very unique with relocating and changing completely. Tiffany listened, understood and put two brilliant roles in front of me, both which I had an interview for. She kept in touch with me and genuinely seemed interested in who I am as an individual and not a number she can place to make her monthly target. I’ve now relocated and am a month into a role I adore. For the first time in a lon… Read more
Charlotte - Poole
“We are a very busy company and I trust Liz’s judgement in finding the right calibre candidates to enable us to move our business forward and to do it swiftly and efficiently.”
Operations Manager
I’m truly grateful for the support and guidance given to me throughout my job hunting process. Their knowledge and experience has proved invaluable and as an added bonus their pleasant manner and highly personable demeanour has made them a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!
Amy - Bournemouth
I’ve worked with Dovetail Recruitment for the last few years, both as a candidate and now a client. They really take the time to understand our business, and the qualities I’m looking for in a candidate. 
They take the time to match these criteria; so I know I can rely on them to give me several really strong contenders for a role, and they’re usually successful. 
They just know who’s going to be a great fit for us. Plus, they’re all a real pleasure to work with, very efficient – highly recommend!.  
Brand Manager
Dovetail are friendly and professional – Suzi is brilliant and my go-to for marketing roles in this area. 
Jo - Bournemouth
Thank you so much for all your help.  I had not heard of yourselves until my daughter, Hannah put me in touch with you and I can honestly say my experience with you has been amazing. I am very grateful to you for being so kind and helpful and for all the guidance you have given to me.  It has been a real pleasure dealing with you and being offered a position so promptly is fantastic.
Christine - Bournemouth
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! The whole team at Dovetail have been so supportive and they talked me through every step of the way, giving me valuable advice, confidence in myself and helped me get my dream job! Thank you so much to all the staff at Dovetail!!”
Joanna - Blandford
“The attention given at all levels including gaining an understanding of my business and the initial selection and offering of potential candidates stands above all other agencies I have dealt with.”
Sales Director
“We have extensively used Dovetail Recruitment for the past 7 years. Dovetail spend time with us to ascertain exactly what our requirements are for each role. Liz and her team always act very promptly, sending us shortlisted CVs once they’ve met prospective candidates. I would not hesitate in recommending Dovetail for their high level of service, quick responses and professionalism.”

To have a recruitment consultant that actually listens is very rare in my experience! I was very impressed with their professional, friendly efficient manner. Thank you again for all of your time and help, the customer service and genuine interest in my job search was outstanding.”
Kirsty - Bournemouth
“Laura and her colleagues were exceptionally friendly and very professional to work with. They kept me informed at all times with how the proceedings were going and I never felt I couldn’t call up and ask for their opinions. Laura and her team made me feel welcome and approached me with many different job opportunities which would best suit my abilities and interests. After two interviews I was accepted for the job. I would like to thank Dovetail for making this process so easy for me. I would recommend using them in the future.”
Ella - Bournemouth
“My experience working with the agency was exceptional. They provided consistent support on applications and go above and beyond to ensure you are prepared for interviews. Highly recommended.”
Melanie - Wimborne
I am very happy to give Dovetail Recruitment a full 5 star review. I have used them over the past few years to recruit for my team. They pre-screen candidates and I can be confident the CVs they pass over to me are relevant… Many of their candidates have been successful in the recruitment process and have gone on to become key contributors in the business. The team at Dovetail are great to work with. They listen and get to know your business and what you need, and then use all the information they have to find good candidate matches. I thoroughly recommend their personalised service.
