Process
We aim to build a long-term partnership with all our clients; therefore time and care is taken to understand our clients' strategies, goals and their recruitment needs. Click through the steps on the diagram below to find out more.
Step 1: Needs Assessment
The consultation with the client includes spending time with the managers and function team(s) to thoroughly understand the client's business model, marketing strategy, financial strategy, reporting procedures, position specification and candidate qualifications.
Step 2: Research & Search Strategy
Using our database and through other sources of information, contact is made with the prospective candidates to determine the suitability. We then conduct an extensive interview to evaluate their qualifications and level of interest in the client's position. We then shortlist the candidates and prepare reports on them and the market as a whole.
Step 3: Candidate Presentation
We present the shortlisted candidates, along with detailed profiles of their background, work history and assessment of their qualifications.
Step 4: Reference Checks
We conduct at least two to three reference interviews with peers, managers and direct reports to generate a comprehensive profile of the final candidate. The reference report highlights the person's strengths and weaknesses, which in turn helps the client communicate effectively and prepare the candidate for success.
Step 5: Compensation Negotiations
We provide guidance on compensation, taking into account the budget requirements and market rates in the strictest of confidence. We will even conduct compensation negotiations with the final candidate including managing any unrealistic expectations.
Step 6: Follow-up
While the assignment is technically complete once the offer is accepted, we continue to keep in touch with the client and candidate so as to facilitate dialogue on potential problem areas. This is also to ensure that the successful candidate is settling well into the new work environment.
