INTRODUCTORY BRIEFING

During the comprehensive introductory briefing with the client, we gather information on the position, the competency profile and offer advice on the search and selection process.

For our long term clients we already have an extensive picture of their business which allows us to specifically tailor recruitment communications and moreover select the best candidates.

RECRUITMENT PROPOSAL

A detailed recruitment proposal is drafted for client approval. This document will cover:

  • Qualifications/Technical skills
  • Reporting relationships
  • Accountabilities
  • Key challenges the role presents
  • Core competencies required
  • Remuneration
  • Any other facts or issues considered to be relevant

CANDIDATE SELECTION

Once the recruitment proposal is agreed upon, the specifications will be evaluated against candidates held on our comprehensive database, which is aimed at highlighting existing candidates who can offer immediate potential for placement.

In many assignments we present the position to the wider marketplace through visually arresting, targeted advertising in appropriate media.

CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS

Our in-depth interviews are conducted confidentially and cover the prescribed list of competencies, with the goal of clearly defining candidates with the greatest potential for meeting both the immediate and long-term requirements of the client.

CANDIDATE SHORTLIST

Each shortlisted candidate is presented to our client by way of a detailed resume report, accompanied by a face-to-face briefing on each of these candidates.

Detailed reference checks are completed on all final shortlisted candidates and a written report is prepared.

Objective and well-researched advice on salaries and remuneration packages is offered as required by the client. In this way we are able to add value to the selection, negotiation and appointment process.

CANDIDATE APPOINTMENT

The appointment of the candidate to the proposed position is not the end of the process, but rather the end of the beginning. We offer an ongoing follow-up service, which is aimed at providing our clients valuable feedback on employee satisfaction and performance as well as assessing their satisfaction with the outcome.

COMMITMENT

From the first introductory briefing through to the appointment of the successful candidate, our team will ensure that your needs are met and that the process is kept within the agreed timelines.
