When recruiting for a client by Astek Polska, the first stage of recruitment is an internal interview and technical tests (practical skills verification). The outcome of the interview is to decide whether the candidate will be offered to the Client or not. Once the candidate has been positively verified, his/her CV is forwarded to the Client. The Client verifies the presented candidate and then informs of his/her decision regarding the candidate.

If the decision is positive – the Client arranges an interview with the candidate through the customer contact officer. After the interview, the Client decides whether or not to hire the candidate.
