| SEARCH
Key features of this approach are :
- Full briefing session between consultant and client. This will
involve agreeing job and experience criteria, compilation of search
target list and assessment of the remuneration level necessary
to attract suitable candidates. Whilst not everyone is motivated
to move by money the search in its own right will act as a diagnostic
of “market rate” for particular positions.
- Research driven sourcing of candidates carried out by in house
Researcher with initial conversation aimed at determining interest
/ suitability.
- The consultant will then arrange a face to face discussion with
selected candidates to gain a fuller understanding of their match
with experience criteria plus a critical yet somewhat subjective
assessment of culture fit. We may suggest the client interview
a benchmark candidate at this stage to gauge our interpretation
of selection criteria
- Presentation of a shortlist of suitable candidates in the format
of original cv plus consultants report under the headings STYLE/CHARACTER,
CAREER, PERSONAL DETAILS, OVERVIEW. If required we will attend
shortlist interviews with the client providing a level of input
as may be determined by them.
- Reference checking is an important part of the recruitment
process and the level of our involvement can be determined by
the client. As a matter of course we will always seek to obtain
a reference from an unemployed candidates last employer before
including them on a shortlist.
- After the shortlist we tactfully handle the rejection of unsuccessful
candidates and then work closely with the client and potential
appointee towards achieving a mutually agreeable conclusion to
the assignment. The key objective at this stage is to ensure the
first selected candidate accepts an offer and sees us act as intermediary
on such matters as counter offers, length of notice and various
contractual details.
- In the months following the appointment we will maintain a
dialogue with both client and candidate to determine whether intended
objectives are being met in terms of performance and expectation
respectively.
