You will be required to complete a registration page and to attach your application and CV. Your application will come into the branch managing the vacancy and one of our consultants will be in contact with you. If you don’t see a suitable job, but want to send your details in to us, follow the general application instructions on our job search page.

Call into or contact one of our branches and discuss your details with a consultant. They will guide you on the best way to apply.

In all cases to register with us we will need you to provide us with information and also to complete documentation. This is to ensure we capture relevant information in order for us to consider your application further. You will be required to provide us with a CV or alternatively use our CV builder on this website to create a CV.

If a consultant calls you to arrange a time for you to come and see us, there are a few things you can begin to prepare so that we can progress your application.

The consultant will advise you what they require you to bring with you when they make your appointment but these are some things you may need to provide (depending on the vacancy you are applying for or the type of work you are seeking):

  • Passport and evidence of any current work permits or work visa if you are not a Taiwan Citizen or resident
  • Copies of, licences, tickets and qualifications you have
  • Your CV
  • The names and contact details of two work related referees. These need to be people that have directly supervised you in previous positions you have held. You need to gain their permission to use them as a referee so that they can talk to us and respond to questions over the telephone relating to your work performance.

We are proud of our stance as the number 1 HR solutions provider in the world. In order for us to consider you for employment with us as an Adecco temporary associate, we need to ensure that we have all the information we require before we employ you. This information needs to be accurate so that we can represent you with confidence to our clients and understand the type of position that will suit you best.

It is important that we ensure you have the skills to undertake positions we may consider you of or put you forward for. This is so we place you within temporary assignments that are suited to your skills and ability in order that you will be able to perform well and have a high level of satisfaction with your temporary assignment. This is for your benefit, as well as for our clients.

The Adecco selection process is very thorough – but don’t worry. In most cases, there will be a position suited to you – we simply want to make sure it’s the right one. We may take you through a variety of processes including registration, skills or psychometric testing, interviews, reference checking and other background checks may be performed. The process will depend on a number of factors including the role we are considering you for and our clients requirements also.

We make our decision based on a number of factors and will keep you informed throughout the process.

However, there are a few characteristics that we can’t accept during the recruitment process:

  • Dishonesty – on your CV, in your application or registration documents or during your interview or at work
  • Unreliability (not turning up to interviews or to work)
  • Drug and Alcohol use –we have a zero tolerance policy within the workplace
  • Behaviour at work that endangers you or someone else

You will need to come into an Adecco office and you may need to allow about 1 hours for the entire recruitment process. This may be conducted over several sessions.

Documents

When you arrive, we will ask you to read and complete some documents so that we can create a file for your employment with us.

Assessments (Some roles only)

For some jobs you apply for - often office, professional and Call Centre jobs - we may send some assessments to your home for you to before we meet you. This will give us a good understanding of your skills and also what sort of work environment suits you the best. If you don’t have a home computer, don’t worry- you can do these when you come in to the office.

Interview

If you are being considered for a vacancy, you will have an interview with one of our consultants so that they can gain an understanding of your work history and experience, what type of position you are seeking and are suited for and they will also ask about the factors that impact on your work. This is an opportunity for the consultant to get to know you in person and for you to learn more about Adecco. It’s all part of the selection and matching process.

Licences and Qualifications

We will take copies of these and retain them on file. We will verify them to make sure they are current and valid.

Passport with any work permits and visas etc

We need to ensure that you are eligible for employment and to work in Taiwan and we will hold a copy of these on file.

References

Part of our recruitment process helps us to gain further insight into your work history by speaking to referees you nominate to us. We will need the contact details of at least two work related referees who must have supervised you directly in a working environment in the past. We ask them a series of questions based around your ability, performance and interpersonal skills to ensure that we further understand your work history and can verify details you have provided to us.

Health, drugs and alcohol

Adecco has a zero tolerance to the use of drugs or alcohol in the workplace. As part of our recruitment process we will require you to read and sign our drug and alcohol policy which you will find in our document library. We may require you to undergo pre employment drug testing and we will advise you of this during our recruitment process. Some employers and our clients ask for additional checks to be performed regarding your health and wellbeing such as eye sight and hearing tests as examples and they may also require particular substance testing to be undertaken. Once again we will advise you of these requirements during the recruitment process.

Induction

If you wish to work for us as a temporary employee and you have had all of the pre employment processes completed and we think we will be able to provide you with work, we will undertake a comprehensive pre employment induction with you. This is where we further explain what we require from you, provide and explain to you employment related documentation such as your Individual Employment Agreement, tax code declaration and other payroll and policy information and we will require you to complete these. We will also review comprehensively our health and safety policies and will allocate a segment of the induction specifically to health and safety to ensure we have advised you of good health and safety practises and so you gain an understanding of how important keeping yourself safe at work is.
