EXECUTIVE SEARCH & RECRUITMENT
FEATURE
each shortlisted candidate’s package so that there are no surprises later on. Your consultant will recommend the best approach to assess your candidates considering:
• What are the critical competencies for the role? • How many interviews and who with? • Do you need evidence of presentation skills? • How will you assess their personality/style?
• Do you need to assess a range of competencies through a variety of methods and therefore need an assessment centre?
• Your consultant should be able to carry out psychometric assessment of cognitive ability and personality/emotional intelligence, recommending the best approach, the best overall step-by-step process and be your one-stop-shop. They should also provide insight into the results to you and your candidates.
THE SEARCH Many businesses are disillusioned with “run of the mill” recruitment agencies and so-called search firms that simply shake a database to see what falls out. A good consultant will conduct full, thorough, market research to locate the best potential, leaving no stone unturned nor stopping at the obvious handful of competitors from a Google search. A good consultant will contact all potential candidates, be it 20, 50 or more, screen them and meet their long list conducting competency-based behavioural interviews to properly assess their motivation, experience, skills and suitability. They will be on the lookout for the red flags of “gold diggers” – someone who intends to play their current employer into offering a higher salary, wasting everybody’s time along the way. Then, and only then, you should be presented with a shortlist of thoroughly-briefed candidates for you to assess chemistry and fit, whose capability and skills have already been assessed. You should be confident that within your search consultant’s shortlist, you will find that elusive ‘needle in the haystack’.

If things go wrong, they work with their clients to fix the problem and will penalise themselves financially in the process. This boils down to confidence in the provision of a service second to none and gives comfort to businesses using the services of a recruitment company for the first time.
