Reducing the pain of recruitment

• Building a Partnership

  Understanding your business, your culture, your people, challenges and vision is a critical step to ensure we can deliver on future projects quickly - and successfully - as well as add value to the partnership in many other ways! We'll put the time in to do that before we start working on any projects. We'll visit your sites, meet your key people and get to know what makes your business special.

• Starting a Project

  Once we have a solid understanding of your business, we will be in a position to start supporting your recruitment needs. At the start of any new mission we will set up a Project Intake meeting - in person wherever possible. We need to understand the commercial or operational pain this recruitment will solve, the technical skill set, cultural fit and development potential of the role. This is also an opportunity for us to meet all stakeholders to help them to understand our process, begin to manage their expectations if needed, and provide any support or training they might need to ensure the recruitment is successful. This is additional a great opportunity to deepen our knowledge of your business.

• Project Set-Up (Week 1)

  The project will be led either by our MD herself, or one of our Senior Consultants. We'll also put together a team of the best suited researchers to work on your project. The project will be set up on our system and job descriptions obtained or created and signed off. We will set up a weekly project update meeting on Teams and provide access to our up-to-the-moment live project dashboard. We will then commence the initial research phase and begin to identify suitable profiles.

• Search Activity (Weeks 2 to 3)

  In this phase we will be actively targeting potentially suitable candidates using a multitude of different approach tactics. Most individuals will not be actively seeking a new role. We will entice them to join your organisation (under NDA if necessary) and once their interest is secured, begin our rigorous qualification process. You will be able to see the progress of candidates working through our system through your live project dashboard.

• Candidate Qualification (Weeks 2 to 4)

  All our candidates undergo a rigorous 4 stage qualification process to assess not only their technical skill fit but also their suitability for your organisation and to ensure that the role and company is right for them, their career and their family situation.

• Personality & Behavioural Testing

  All search candidates will also be put through personality & behavioural testing (psychometrics) after successfully completing their 2nd stage interview (or after 1st stage if requested). This is also available for any candidate whether search or contingent if a client has a Partner Connect contract.

• Shortlisting (Weeks 3 to 4)

  Each candidate CV will be accompanied by a full candidate summary document that provides details of their personal circumstances, a summary of our qualification and most importantly information about their motivations and ambitions to put you in the driving seat of selling the role to them.

• Interviews

  We will carefully support and manage the full interview process including all scheduling, candidate management and feedback delivered to you promptly after each meeting. We also ensure all candidates are thoroughly briefed.

• Offers

  After each interview stage we discuss remuneration expectation with the candidates and pass this information on to you. We carefully manage candidates expectation to ensure a successful acceptance.

• Candidate Management

  We put our candidates first...always. A good candidate experience is at the centre of who we are and how we work. All candidates will be treated in the most professional way possible. This includes ensuring that all candidates are treated with the utmost respect throughout the process especially at rejection stage and will be updated at least weekly.

• Project Updates, Reporting & Intelligence

  In addition to providing you with access to our live project dashboard, we will schedule a weekly project update with you to discuss progress, identified profiles, shortlisted candidates and any challenges. We will also provide a .pdf report each week with details of all candidates identified, salary information and an update of their status. Of course we will be available to you at any point in addition as required.
