Our process is a comprehensive one, based on partnering principles and shared objectives, and covers the following steps:
- Developing a full Candidate Brief to position our client's organisation and the role; identifying the key hooks and attractions
- Shaping a tailored Sourcing Strategy for each role, based on the target audience we're looking to engage with. We attract active candidates via advertising and passive candidates via Research, approach and networking. Most assignments will contain a blend of attraction methods
- Meeting with candidates from all sources and conducting detailed interviews. We can supplement the interviews with other assessment methods such as psychometrics if required
- Agreeing a Shortlist with you and delivering comprehensive reports on each candidate
Our experience of the current market is that candidates are typically risk-averse and need a very clear and compelling proposition; a well-defined role and real insight into an organisation. In addition to identifying and sourcing talent, our expertise lies in helping our clients create this proposition and engage candidates, as well as supporting both parties through the journey to a successful appointment.
