Our process

We customise our services to fit your needs and budget, using a combination of clever technology and expert personal consultancy to deliver results quickly.

The key stages in our process:

• Defining your requirement
• Finding the talent
• Applications and screening
• Short-listing and pre-interviews
• Delivering the candidates

Defining your requirement

The key to our effectiveness is our requirement definition process (the part where we gather all the information we need to ensure we deliver the best fit candidates). This information is used to create a job which is stored in our unique web-based application. At this stage, we work with you on the information needs (level and type of skills) as well as the screening needs (to populate multi-choice or open-ended questions) which will form and define the campaign.

Finding the talent

We're always looking for new ways to communicate with candidates that go beyond the tried and true.

As well as job boards we maintain our own network of contacts and referrals, which provide a ready source of talent at a lower cost.

We also keep tabs on specialist professional and social networking sites and forums, where we've had success locating some of our more specialised candidates.

Application and screening

Candidates are guided through an online application process which is tailored to meet your requirement definition.

Our application process is self-managing: it extracts and stores the most important information in a way that gives it context and relevance.

We can also add a screening functionality to this process. This works by applying specific questions and then rating the key skills of the candidates. This establishes an even richer picture of each applicant's merits and how they measure up against other candidates.

Short-listing and pre-interviews

The result of the application process is a ranked list of candidates, which we vet further before carrying out our own set of pre-interviews.

Depending on the requirement definition, pre-interviews may include: reference, qualification and background checks, face to face interviews, and further Q&A with the candidate.

Delivering the candidates

Once our pre-interviews are completed, you will receive an email from us with a link to your personalised online 'dashboard' where your short-listed candidate profiles can be viewed.

This dashboard will show you a summary of candidates, you can drill down to reveal each candidate's particular skills, experience and skill ranking, in order to benchmark against other candidates. You'll also find a summary of the key strengths of this candidate written by your account manager.
