Yes. Every application is tied to your DC Forté profile, giving us a complete picture of your experience and helping us match you with relevant roles in the future. Your profile also gives companies a more complete view of your experience than a CV alone, while also letting you keep track of where each application stands.

Your profile is shared with companies when you are being considered for a relevant role. We never sell or publish your profile as a searchable directory, and your contact details are only shared with your consent.

Yes. DC Forté supports opportunities across different markets, depending on the roles available. Your profile can include your location and mobility preferences. Job listings also specify any work authorization or visa sponsorship requirements associated with the role.

Once you apply, your application is reviewed against the role requirements. Our technology helps identify relevant matches, while our recruitment team reviews your application and determines the next step. You may move to screening, we may have a few questions, or we may let you know when a role isn’t the right fit and consider you for future opportunities.

For some roles, the initial screening may include an AI-powered assessment. It asks questions relevant to the role, records your responses and provides a summary for our team to review. It is designed to support the initial screening stage and does not replace the interview with the employer.

AI helps with the parts of the process that can be faster and more consistent with technology, such as reviewing information, identifying relevant roles and summarising assessments. Our recruitment team reviews your application and the AI assessment, where used, before deciding the next step. The employer always makes the final hiring decision.

Prepare for it like a technical conversation with a hiring manager. Be ready to talk through the projects on your CV, your role in them, the systems you worked with, their scale and the challenges you handled. It also helps to review the role requirements before you begin.

Yes. You can request your interview and assessment details from us, and you can download them for your records.

The assessment is designed to focus on your experience, skills and responses to the role-related questions. It is not used to make decisions based on your appearance or emotions. Your responses are reviewed as part of the wider assessment process, with our recruitment team involved before a candidate progresses.

The initial review of your application usually takes 48 to 72 hours. If there is a next step, we’ll reach out by email or phone with more information on what to expect. The timeline after that can vary depending on the role, employer and location.

Yes. If you progress to screening or a client interview and are not selected, we’ll let you know the outcome. Not being selected for one role does not affect your chances of being considered for other relevant opportunities through the DC Forté network.

You receive the candidate’s complete profile, CV and relevant experience, along with information on how their background matches your role requirements. Where applicable, this also includes their screening or assessment results and the supporting information from that process, so your team has a clear picture of the candidate before the interview.

Timelines vary by role, location, seniority and the availability of relevant talent. Because we already have a network of professionals, we can often begin identifying suitable candidates without starting the search from scratch. We’ll agree on a realistic timeline with you at the start of the search and keep you updated as it progresses.

DC Forté can work alongside your existing hiring systems. [Add confirmed ATS integrations and supported export options before publishing.]

Our commercial terms depend on the role and hiring requirements. If you’d like to understand how this works for your organisation, reach out to our team and we’d be happy to discuss it with you.

Yes. We can build and maintain a private pool of screened professionals aligned to your recurring roles and future workforce needs. This gives your team a ready talent pipeline to support workforce planning and forecasting, before a hiring requirement becomes urgent.

Your profile is accessed by our recruitment team and shared with companies only when you are being considered for a specific role. We do not sell your personal information or use your profile for advertising, and your contact details are only shared with your consent.

We keep your profile and personal information while you are part of the DC Forté network and for a defined period after that, so we can continue to consider you for relevant opportunities. The specific retention periods are explained in our Privacy Policy.

You can request to delete or update your DC Forté profile and personal information, subject to any information we are legally required to retain. Please see our Privacy Policy or contact our team for details.

Your data is stored securely, with details about where it is held and how international data transfers are managed available in our Privacy Policy.

We don’t merge profiles, but you can tell us which profile you’d like to keep. We’ll keep the CVs and information from both profiles on your files, while continuing with the profile you choose.

You can update your profile directly through your account. If you’ve already been screened for a role and an important detail has changed, let our team know so we can make sure the information we share with employers is up to date.
