Recruiting and selection decisions are among the most critical that organizations make. When new recruits understand what is expected of them and how their role supports higher-level business objectives, they are more likely to emotionally commit to the organization, make intelligent decisions, and focus their efforts on what counts the most.

We fully recognize the importance of representing our clients and their requirements both transparently and accurately. When needed, we can assist in redesigning a role to eliminate any redundancies or voids in accountability, and to give prospective employees thorough awareness of what would be required for them to succeed.

Bottom line, it is fundamental that we provide our clients with the most suitable short-listed candidates to match their requirements. We are therefore committed to:

Rather than taking the commonly used approach of simply delegating assignments to research team members, our search consultants personally undertake the lead in each search assignment. Furthermore, they will not proceed with the search until they have an in-depth understanding of our client’s business and the specific role in question.

This hands-on focus and dedication to detail has a direct positive impact in how well we represent our clients to prospective candidates, the quality and suitability of the candidates that we present to our clients and significantly reduces the time to successfully complete the search process.

We operate under the industry standard of an “off limits” principle with our clients i.e. we do not take staff from one client in order to place them with another client. By doing this one avoids any conflicts of interests between the search company and its clients.

Naturally, the more clients that a search company has, the smaller the accessible pool of potential candidates becomes. Put simply, this means that, as a company works with more clients, it reduces capability of accessing the best candidates in the market for their clients.

We therefore follow the simple rule of containing our client-base to just a few select organizations within each market space and and thereby optimize our capacity to reach out to the best candidates for our clients.

So many decisions are based on the output from interviews. It is therefore crucial that interviews are conducted methodically and effectively to ensure that the feedback from candidates is relevant, accurate and specific enough to make judgment on an individuals suitability.

Our Search Consultants are trained in Focused Interviewing – also known as Behavioural Event Interviewing. Through various studies, this interviewing technique has been shown to be significantly more effective than other interview methods in reaching consistent and accurate selection decisions. This is largely because these techniques elicit spontaneous data from interviewees about their behaviour in real past situations. This is in contrast to the more traditional techniques which often lead candidates toward, what can often only be described as, “canned” responses.

We believe this is a fundamental factor in undertaking a thorough, successful search process.
