Declan Tidd

Declan Tidd's CV shows a solid residential carpentry background — apprenticeship and foreman role at Joscon Developments, then six years self-employed since 2019 — which is genuine residential experience, not commercial-only. Tenure is strong (two long stints) and he claims foreman-level leadership. However, the cover letter attached to this application is for a completely different person, Jason Tanner, a commercial carpenter from Glenroy addressing 'Ed'. This is a serious application-care issue: either Declan attached the wrong file (carelessness, which Ry flags as 'resume shows no care or attention' territory) or the application is mismatched in the system. The CV itself is generic — no mention of Kingston Construction, no specific architectural or high-end projects named, no builder names beyond Joscon, no detail on finish standards, materials, or tolerances. 'Residential carpentry from set-out to finish' is vague. Joscon Developments is a volume/mid-tier residential builder, not a known architectural specialist. No tool specifics, no craft language. Recommending hold rather than decline because the underlying CV is not disqualifying — solid residential tenure and self-employed experience are real positives — but the wrong-cover-letter issue and the lack of architectural specificity mean this is not a 'worth screening' priority over stronger candidates. Worth a clarifying call only if the pool is thin; Ed/Ry should be aware of the file mix-up before any contact.
