OUR RECRUITING PROCESS

OUR RECRUITING PROCESS

Our Recruitment Process is rigorous, thorough and in-depth. This is why we recruit the best talent.

Our clients engage our services because we are different: We are client specific, commercially experienced, highly structured, incredible value and always professional to reflect the reputation of the clients we represent.

A sound process is key to finding and securing top talent for our recruitment assignments. This way you can be assured that only the best candidates for the position will be walking in your door when it’s time to interview. This process is one of the tools that allows us to maintain our high standards of quality while expediting a recruitment assignment search process on your behalf:

1) Initial Consultation
Working together with you - our client, we evaluate your need and determine a recruitment strategy for finding the best candidate. Before undertaking any recruitment assignment, we conduct a thorough consultation. This enables us to determine your specific requirements and understanding of all qualities and characteristics critical to the candidate's success - company culture, responsibilities, core competencies and qualifications.

​

2) Position Description
We will require your position specification that features company background, responsibilities of the position, qualifications and background required of the ideal candidate, all key criteria for success and individual growth potential. Once we’ve received your position profile, we define our search strategy. Our objective is to find the best person for your role.

​

3) Candidate Identification & Assessment
At this important stage traditional recruitment agencies just throw another ad on Seek and cross their fingers. We go above and beyond this. We take a proven direct marketing approach. We heighten marketplace awareness to increase the candidate response rate to your specific recruitment needs by tapping into our vast social media network, head hunting, database of passive and active job seekers to identify all talent opportunities.

​

4) Candidate Evaluation & Interviews
Candidate prospects are personally evaluated by us, via in-depth telephone screening. We shortlist candidates that match company culture, benchmark requirements and have met key success competencies based on your position description.

​

5) Presentation of Candidates
Our clients receive confidential Candidate Assessment Reports with interview notes about candidates’ suitability, reasons for change, compensation expectations, experience, cultural fit, management expectations and other pertinent information including CV for your review. That means you save time by having a well-rounded sense of the candidate before the interview is scheduled.

​

'Recruiting Now' will assist you with all scheduling and formatting interviews between the client and each candidate, then contact both parties immediately after the interview for timely feedback.

​

6) Reference Checking
Once you have interviews and selected the final candidate or short listed select candidates, we will conduct reference checking with prior managers and direct reports who have the established insight and knowledge of the candidate's abilities, attitude, technical competence, relevant certifications/degrees, achievements and personal aptitude.

​

7) Completing the Recruitment Search
Once you have decided that an offer should be made to the selected candidate, 'Recruiting Now' can assist you in structuring the remuneration package, guiding you on market remuneration to ensure value and competitiveness. We counsel on negotiations between you and the candidate by serving as a third party intermediary to resolve questions and specific details to ensure everyone's satisfaction, including resignations, counter-offers, concerns by spouse and family, and relocation.

​

8) Staying In Touch
With the successful candidate now on board, we will continue to stay in touch with both you and the candidate to maintain a smooth transition and continued satisfaction. We always take a long-term view in this business and are committed to making solid career matches for both parties.
