Quality Inspector Job

Candidates Matter is not just about IT roles and consultancy, we look at a wide range of roles in the marketplace.

This Quality Inspector job was advertised on the TheJobsBoard.co.uk by Western Par.

Date of advert 11/03/2025

Overall rating: Green/Amber (we rate green, amber, red).

Observations: The advert is well written; is clear about all the key facts one would need to know to decide whether to apply or not. This would have been green if not for the caveat and the declaration of a 'ghosting' approach to rejection. The adverts on this Job board tend to be higher quality than average.

Negatives

1. The only negative against the principles we outline in Candidates Matter is in the final paragraph. "Due to the high volume of applicants applying for all roles, we can only reply to candidates with the most relevant skills and experience. If you have not heard back from us within 48 hours of your application, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion." This caveat means that silence is no. No feedback at all will leave candidates who fail to make the grade demoralised and unable to work out how to improve their chances in future applications. The only saving grace is that at least there is a clear timeline for the ghosting.

   
   

Positives

1. Clear location.

2. Clear working hours and overtime.

3. Clear salary expectations.

4. Clear benefits (although silent on holiday but we do not rate that negatively as there are statutory minimums).

5. Clear qualifications and requirements for candidates.

In summary, a good advert only let down by the caveat that you will be ghosted if you do not make the cut. But the 48 hours makes it clear about the timeline.
