Welcome to the wonderful world of Wrinklies...

It's a world where experience of life and work are perceived as positive benefits. A world where you are part of an increasingly important sector of society.

Alas, it is also aligned to a world where age discrimination is very much a reality when it comes to keeping or finding a job. That, of course, is why we exist.

Regrettably, we cannot guarantee to find everyone a job. We will only promise to try.

We will also try to help by providing information, by listening, and by trying to answer any questions you may have about finding a new job.

Our primary aim, however, is to help registered candidates find employment.

The following paragraphs will explain how...

EVERYONE QUALIFIES AS A WRINKLIE

It doesn't matter how young or old you are because we accept everyone. As you might expect, the majority of people who register with us are in their forties and fifties. But we have many younger and older. The only condition is that you are available for work, full or part time.

IT TAKES ALL SORTS
TO MAKE A BUSINESS TICK

Whatever your qualifications or experience, you can register with Wrinklies Direct. We specialise in finding employment for older candidates, so it really doesn't matter what type of work you're looking for.

This also applies to seniority. Factory floor, boardroom, clerical, senior engineer, scientist, sales, marketing.the list is virtually endless. It takes a variety of skills and levels of experience to run most types of business, so everyone has something to offer.


REGISTERING COULDN'T BE EASIER

To register you need to send us your CV by first completing our online registration form HERE. You will remain registered until you ask to be removed from the database. It's a simple process and registration is free.



BEING REGISTERED MEANS YOU'RE CONSIDERED FOR ALL VACANCIES

Your details will be included in the search for every suitable job brief we receive, so you don't need to do anything further once you're registered. We may use a key word search on the database but will also look through selected CVs and forms manually. The details you enter on your Registration Form are, therefore, extremely important.

If you ever need to update your details or replace your CV, just ask for another form or send us the new CV.

As tempting as it might be, phoning to find out what's happening isn't necessary. We'll be in touch if and when a suitable vacancy arises. Try as we may, it's not possible to guarantee that this will happen.



SPECIFIC JOB APPLICATIONS

If a vacancy comes in that seems to match your skills and experience, we'll be in touch at the contact numbers you've provided. If we can't get you on the phone, we'll send a letter with the details and ask you to phone us.

If we're in any doubt about your likely suitability for a particular job, we'll make the contact anyway and let you decide.

Your details will never be forwarded to an employer without your permission.



INTERVIEWING

We may from time to time conduct interviews on behalf of our clients but, more often, your first interview will be directly with a prospective employer for a specific vacancy.

Candidates frequently ask to arrange a separate interview with us but because of the numbers involved, this is rarely possible.



TAKING ADVICE

If you need help prior to an interview, tell us and we'll see if we can arrange some counselling over the phone or even face-to-face.

We will always advise you to be yourself but a few tips and a little confidence-building could be useful.

On occasion, candidates ask our advice on whether a job offer should be accepted. As such decisions are very personal, we will try only to provide as much information as we can about the employer.
