3. A professional scribe makes all the difference...
Many of our competitors view scribing as a simple note taking exercise,
when in actual fact it is a skilled craft.
• Reduce your „time to hire‟
• Ensure you are compliant with legal, legislative and procedural
requirements
• Save money and time, focus on your core business and have a Scribe
Specialist manage the recruitment and "hack work"
• Have a Scribing Panellist guide inexperienced panel members to better
recruitment outcomes
• Have a procurement/tender process scribed by a procurement subject
matter specialist
• Tailor contemporary recruitment practices into your process. Don‟t rely
on the same tired generalised selection
• Be guided expertly through the maze of procedures, protocols, ratings,
rankings and terminology.

Government recruitment processes

Our most senior Scribe Specialists are skilled facilitators who can support, guide
and/or project manage your recruitment processes or selection panels. Many of our
scribes are former senior level public servants (e.g. EL2 or SES Band 1) with a true
understanding of the demands of being on the „other side of the desk‟. They can
facilitate selection panels to ensure they have comprehensive, balanced information
and analysis about candidates and their fit with your organisational needs.

11. What sets us apart? (continued)
Our focus is quality
Our business is founded on repeat business resulting from the high quality of our work.
Our scribes have been individually selected and trained to meet our high standards.
To ensure quality, ongoing performance and improvement amongst our scribes, they
are supported by a comprehensive system that includes access to:
One-on-one and group professional development and scribing/recruitment training
Scribing manuals relating to both standard and specialist recruitment
scribe services
Project plans and timelines to assist with managing large recruitment processes
Easy access to advice and support from HorizonOne‟s recruitment specialists
Supporting documentation and procedural guides (including templates,
report samples and pro forma).

12. What sets us apart? (continued)
Quality assurance is critical to our success – every scribing report is reviewed by a
team member independent of the process prior to final submission to ensure:
Consistency of language including titles, abbreviations, how panel members are
referred to
Clarity of language including checking for readability and succinctness
Correct spelling, grammar and punctuation
Accuracy, and that an appropriate level of detail is covered.
Value-add advice
Wherever possible our team of Specialist Scribes seek to add value to recruitment
process design, interview question preparation and selection panel discussions
through sharing their many years of experience. While we are very careful not to
directly influence the decisions made by panels, unless engaged to work as Scribing
Panellists, we can ensure that you are supported with up to date information, clear
advice and guidance in line with Government recruitment protocols.

13. What sets us apart? (continued)
Value for money
While ensuring an appropriate quality standard is achieved, our scribes always endeavour
to minimise the cost of each contract. We pride ourselves on a loyal client list that has
been earned by balancing quality and costs to maximise value.
Our Scribing Specialists will streamline time consuming administrative and selection
procedures such as short listing, prequalification of candidates, referee reports and
reference and qualification checks.
Our service is responsive, efficient, and backed by strong systems
and infrastructure
Whether it be a one off process, or a large scale bulk recruitment round, careful planning
and well thought out processes ensure that our scribes are there on time, are well informed
about your requirements, and that there is suitable backup in case of emergencies.
Each scribe will contact you a minimum 2-3 days prior to your meeting, and they are
supplied with a detailed checklist to ensure that all aspects of preparation are covered.
We pride ourselves on committing to and delivering on report submission deadlines.
We ensure a fast turnaround without compromising report quality.

14. What sets us apart? (continued)
We pride ourselves on carefully matching exactly the right scribe to your
business requirements
We recognise not all scribes are the same, and that knowledge of your organisation,
its documentation, and specialist subject matter knowledge can make a big difference
in the service level provided. Personality fit is also very important, and we do our very
best to make sure your scribe is a seamless fit.
All HorizonOne scribes are carefully selected and reference checked using the latest in
contemporary recruitment methodologies. Having project managed many large
recruitment rounds over the past 5 years, our network of scribes is robust and our
market knowledge of „who to call‟ is second to none.
National Reach
We have direct access to highly experienced scribes in all major capital cities, and our
most experienced scribes are happy to travel interstate for significant processes.
