Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools are thrilled with the latest feedback from applicants.

At the end of the Happy Days recruitment process the recruitment team send out an optional survey, in order to gather feedback on the hiring process. Questions such as ‘Overall, how satisfied were you with the recruitment/application process to hire you?’ and ‘If you can change something about the recruiting process, what would it be?’

100% of applicants were ‘Very Satisfied’ with the recruitment process. Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools also asked ‘If you can change something about the recruiting process, what would it be?’. One applicant spoke ‘”I wouldn’t wish to change anything, the staff were very welcoming.”‘ and another said ‘”Nothing at all”‘.

When questioned, ‘How likely are you to recommend our company to a friend or colleague?’, 9.75/10 was the average rating Happy Days received.

Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools Recruitment Manager John spoke ”For candidates, applying for jobs can be a daunting experience, which is why at Happy Days we really commit to giving people the best of us, when they are giving us the best of them during the hiring process. Feedback as positive as that we receive in our applicant feedback questionnaires reflects this commitment and we are delighted with the satisfaction levels and proud that so many colleagues joining us would recommend their friends to do the same”
