Recruitment Methodology

In Depth Interviews

Conversational interviews are conducted to obtain a better understanding of each candidate’s proven track record in similar roles, technical capability and their enthusiasm for this position. We acquire an in depth understanding of the candidate’s communication, management and leadership style through a combination of conversational and behavioural interviews. These shed light on how they might react in real world situations they'll encounter in their role within your organisation.

Reputation Analysis Reputation

In many ways, reputation is the currency of the corporate world. Leveraging our connections, we can quickly discern who the top operators in any given sector are. These insights aren't based merely on word of mouth but come from consistent patterns of performance, leadership, and innovation. Whether it’s identifying a rising star or steering clear of a potentially unsuitable candidate, market feedback refines our approach, ensuring our recommendations are always reputable and reliable.

Motivational Profiling

We use the Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP), a scientific tool that uncovers how motivation impacts performance and values based happiness. The RMP provide valuable insights into a candidate's adaptability, teamwork, leadership style, and more leading to better hiring outcomes.

Cultural & Fit Evaluation

Beyond just the skills, a candidate’s success in a role is also defined by how well they align with your organisation's culture and values. Through interviews and assessments, we gauge their compatibility with your organisational ethos.

Shortlist Presentation

After a thorough evaluation of the market, we present a shortlist of the top candidates to your hiring team. This list will include a comprehensive profile of each candidate, detailing their career history, strengths and alignment with the role along with their remuneration expectations and notice periods.
