Tailor made recruitment solutions for your needs
Understanding our client‘s company culture and the job profile is key for a successful recruitment. We strongly encourage our briefing meeting to be held with representatives of the line function and the HR department addressing the essential requirements of the position.
We specifically designed tools to clarify and determine the job profile as well as the required professional and personal skills of our candidates. This ensures an efficient and rich discussion with our clients, and the best possible alignment of expectations between client and candidate.
Candidates can be identified from different sources: our professional network, our partners, our database or by placing advertisements in appropriate media. The most effective way to attract the best talent and present suitable candidates differs from case to case and is often a combination. The applicable strategy is agreed upon upfront with the client in each individual case.
Prior to pre-selecting and presenting eligible candidates for our clients we conduct in depth interviews with all of the candidates, which is crucial in order to ensure a sustainable hiring.
We prefer a competency-based interviewing model focusing on questions that allow insights into behavioral characteristics and that enable us to judge the candidate’s abilities to perform and blend into the client’s company culture, as well as their desired professional perspectives and motivation.
After a diligent and stringent pre-selection we present a first shortlist and the CV’s of the candidates we deem suitable for the position. To facilitate a cross check between the different candidates their CV’s are redrafted and restructured in collaboration with the candidates. The CV also includes a confidential appraisal we draft based on our candidate interview.
Together with the client, we determine the initial ranking of the shortlisted candidates and coordinate the interview process between client and candidates. To finalize and complement the assessment process, we validate the references after the interview, focusing on questions that remained unanswered after the interviews.
We closely collaborate with partners who provide additional assessment methods such as Predictive Index (PI) or Master Person Analysis (MPA) for instance. We have made very good experiences using these tools in the past and can add them to the process whenever deemed appropriate by the client.
Our experience shows that even ideal ‘fits’ do not necessarily turn into an actual hire. In the war for talent, a skilled and professional mediation between clients and candidates is often crucial to retain talent and make a perfect match happen.
One of our key strengths is building trust and creating an open dialog with our candidates. Concerns or misunderstandings about the position or personal aspects are raised and thus can be addressed and most of the times be successfully resolved. Our integrity and professionalism ensures objectivity and allows us to advice both sides without passing the delicate line and creating a conflict of interest.
To check on performance and fit we follow up regularly with candidate and client. Finding out that a win-win has been created for both sides is most rewarding and motivates us to do what we do best – bringing people together.
