Our Recruitment Process

Regular communication

Throughout the entire recruitment process we keep in touch with you to advise of the status of the assignment.  Communication parameters are usually established with the client & the candidate at the onset of the relationship and strictly adhered to.

Establishing an “expectation shortlist”

To develop a strategy or “road map” to drive the process based on your past experience and current needs and expectations.Excellent communication is critical to this process.

Preparation of detailed job description & employee specification

Based on knowledge of your business and an understanding of your corporate culture, this enables us to identify core competencies and key performance indicators that are both role and company specific.

Behavioural based interviewing and appropriate psychometric evaluation

This helps us to establish what truly motivates our candidates and what their future actions are likely to be based on past performance.

Skills testing

Tailored to the specific requirements of the role and thorough verbal reference checking verifies all aspects of the candidates’ previous work history.

Selection and presentation of qualified candidates only

This saves you valuable time. Resumes will be accompanied by a written overview of the candidate which will include a analysis of their match with the job specification and comments on their ability to perform the job itself

Post interview follow up with the candidate

All candidates are requested to call us as soon as possible after the completion of their interview with you for a full “debrief”. This enables us to quickly identify both their degree of interest in the role and also any issues that may need to be addressed before proceeding further.

Identifying the shortlist

Using the information obtained from the debrief and the results of reference checking together with client feedback from the initial interviews, a shortlist can be drawn up and second interviews arranged if required.

Making the offer to the candidate

This includes negotiation of the remuneration and benefits package, confirmation of the commencement date, dealing with the “counter offer” and notifying unsuccessful candidates. All placement details will be confirmed in writing to both the client & the candidate.

Post placement follow up! 

One of the most critical points of the entire recruitment process. A formal guarantee check procedure is in place to ensure that a minimum of three follow up calls are made to both candidate & client. These calls and their results are fully documented and any issues arising are dealt with instantly and comprehensively. This may involve a face to face meeting with either the candidate or client or both to enable mediation and counselling to take place. Regular checks are also conducted for ongoing temporary assignments.
