What to Expect When You Apply for a Permanent Role at Meridian

When you’re searching for your next career move, you deserve a process that feels smooth, straightforward and tailored to you.

At Meridian, we’re more than just recruiters and our experts genuinely care about finding a role that is the right fit for you. For over 35 years we’ve been helping candidates to land permanent jobs and we know that the way you’re treated during your search matters just as much as the job itself.

Your job search should feel personal, not transactional

Finding a permanent role is more than just ticking skills off a list. We’re not here to push your CV across countless desks without getting to know you properly. Our consultants take the time to understand your skills, goals, and what matters most to you.

From your first conversation with us, you’ll know exactly what to expect and how the process will work. No guesswork or vague promises, we’re always open and honest about your options. We keep things clear so you know where you stand and can help you create a clear path forward.

Here’s how we work with you

Initial conversation – We’ll get to know you, talk about your skills, experience, and what’s next for you.
Finding the right match – We’ll connect you with opportunities that align with your career goals, not just what looks good on paper.
Application support – We’ll guide you through the process, from CV advice to interview prep, giving you the guidance you need to succeed.
Ongoing updates – You’ll never be left wondering where you stand; we’ll keep you in the loop throughout.
Offer & onboarding – We’ll stay connected and support you right through to your first day, making sure your transition into the role is smooth.

Your feedback matters

At Meridian, we strive for continuous improvement, which is why we may ask you to share your feedback on our experience with us. Your input will:

Help other job seekers feel confident about working with us.
Give our team valuable insight so we can keep improving our service.
Contribute to a community where candidates feel supported, respected and valued.

Our Salisbury consultant, Daniel, made a big impression on Artis, who recently secured a permanent role through Meridian:

I felt looked after once I started my employment, from the first day speaking with Meridian to the day when I was offered a permanent position.

My experience working with Meridian felt very streamlined and I felt that the process was efficient. The communication wasn’t overly complicated and it didn’t feel too casual either, which worked great for me.

I’ve already recommended Meridian to others. I was offered multiple positions and my (then) current situation was taken into account for each work opportunity until we found the right place. Once a suitable position was found, the interview was swiftly set up and I received some information about the job and the company prior. Throughout my first 13 weeks, Daniel checked up on me frequently and answered any of my questions quickly.
