It takes meticulous methodology and scrupulous processes to attract and assess extraordinary leaders that are right for your business. When it comes to talent recruitment, the better the process, the better the outcome.

Let’s guide you to success

Hiring an outstanding leader is a process. From understanding your organization and hiring needs to building an extensive network, understanding the market and developing relationships with high-quality talent, we do the hard work so that you don’t have to. And we go the extra mile to ensure optimal results. After all, your time is valuable, so we won’t waste it with the wrong candidates.

Here are the steps we take to ensure success when you work with us as your talent recruitment partner.

1. Project briefing

The project briefing is an opportunity for us to investigate your executive vacancy. This includes exploring the requirements of the role, identifying how this new role will contribute to the success of the business, and understanding your organization’s story, purpose and strategic plans. We also meet with you regularly to get to know you, your business, people, and brand.

It’s about gathering the information we need to create a unique and tailored confidential briefing document that promotes your brand and attracts the best talent, while building a sourcing and selection process that helps you meet your strategic objectives.

Our detailed approach will safeguard your business and open the door to the high-quality executive talent that you want.

SPECIFICALLY WE:

  • discuss, examine, and document the role that is required to be filled and confirm the terms on which an employee should be recruited
  • analyse the challenges unique to your organisation and the position you are looking to recruit for
  • determine the key selection criterion including the skills, knowledge and capabilities required
  • offer industry and personnel insights to determine challenges and opportunities, presenting potential alternative ideas for your role
  • develop a customised position and confidential candidate briefing document, detailing the company, the role, responsibilities, goals, and key challenges of the position as well as the experience, qualifications and competencies required for success
  • detail and confirm the interview process including dates and locations of the face-to-face interviews and the key decision makers who will be attending those interviews.

2. Source and selection process

We take our role in the attraction of talent seriously. The organizations that we work with and the people that we place are a reflection of us, so we make sure the fit is right for now and for the future. Because we understand that your success is our success.

Attracting the right talent business involves speaking with a wide variety of talent, keeping an open mind, asking a lot of questions. So, as a dedicated talent attraction consultant, we thoroughly map and source the market to identify candidates suitable for available roles, and identify who has the right capabilities, potential and motivation. Then, with our meticulous methodology, we thoroughly assess and verify each candidate.

A talent pathway

When it comes to talent recruitment, we don’t just wait for an available role to come up before we connect with potential candidates. We achieve results because we’re constantly on the hunt for high-quality talent – whether they’re on the job market or not.

That means we don’t just attract talent for active assignments, we work with “partnership” in mind. We are always meeting and reviewing talent to make you aware when the top 10% of talent are available in the market so you get the first pick to meet with them. This approach helps you plan for growth.

And we’re not just a talent recruiter – we even develop talent. Our membership packages help to improve the quality of talent and grow an exclusive database of candidates that have been through a rigourous 6 month coaching and development program.
