ion JOURNEY

3. 1CONSULTATION
To ensure a successful conclusion to a
recruitment assignment, it begins with an in-
depth consultation with the client. We will be
able to provide you with an understanding of
the current marketplace, remuneration
packages, availability of individuals in the
industry, as well as how to best position
yourself and attract the best quality of talent
available.
2SEARCH
We adopt a niche search methodology
for our clients which generates a
positive outcome in looking for the best
candidates for their business. Our
consultants operate in four search areas:
Headhunting
Referrals
Networking
Advertising
3We contact the relevant candidates to
discuss the client, the team and the role,
supplying them with the formal job
specification. We assess that they are
suitable to the role, re-confirm their
situation and ensure that we have their
most up-to-date profile. Once we have
qualified their suitability and interest,
we will create a shortlist which we will
subsequently present to our client. We
also carry out informal referencing
checks and screening services on their
behalf.

ACCEPTANCE
Candidates will be presented to the client
via a synopsis. Once we have reached an
agreement with the client over the suitable
candidates that they wish to interview, we
coordinate the interviews at all stages,
preparing our candidates and clients
accordingly.
Our consultants will offer you as the
client guidance about how to achieve
the best possible offer to secure the
selected candidate without unnecessary
negotiations or interferences.
From acceptance of an offer to the start
date, a void of communication can occur
and momentum can break down. We
communicate with both parties, providing
any advice that may be required. Our
partnership with the candidates does not
end upon acceptance, we liaise with the
candidate well into their successful tenure.
