How We Work
With many years covering permanent and interim/contract placements, we can meet all of your business needs. Whether hiring an executive to steer your company through an ownership transition, or building a new team from scratch, we’ve got you covered.
Following our search method below, we’ll do the heavy-lifting to bring the best technical and behavioural fit available on the market to your door, giving you maximum insight with minimum effort.
Discovery
Let’s make sure everyone’s on the same page.
We’ll start with a site visit to understand your key hire criteria. With our Stakeholder Alignment Report (SAR), our quick, punchy survey indicates the key behavioural (non-technical) candidate expectations from all parties involved in the hiring process.
Attraction
The search beings.
We’ll get your role advertised across all of our platforms, with a deep dive into our active and passive candidate market.
Our search criteria - as well as skills fit - will be led by the results from the SAR to improve the “culture fit” match. All our candidates are compliance checked, with testimonials gathered.
Shortlisting
Let’s bring the CVs to life.
Our First Stage Shortlist is different. As well as the CV, you’ll receive a short & sharp video of our candidates answering key interview questions of your determining for review. Save yourself the time and effort of those early interview headaches by using our own digital service.
Next up, let’s move to a face-to-face interview. You’ll also receive a flyer with their key behavioural traits thanks to our Character Appraisal tool, which means you’ll be given candidate-specific, behavioural based questions to ask at interview.
This allows us to collectively address any remaining concerns about whether or not they are “right” for your business.
Aftercare
We take our jobs seriously.
We will do everything possible to make sure you get the best fit for your business and will provide a 6 month FREE replacement if it doesn’t work out.
The character appraisal doesn’t stop there. For the successful hire, we’ll provide a bespoke Onboarding Document to guide you on how to best manage this individual in the short term, set goals and expectations to nurture career progression, and get the most from their appointment.
