We are highly flexible and accustomed to working both independently and in partnership with Human Resource and/or Hiring Managers.

We provide 3 main services:- Executive Search Placement | Search & Selection Placement | Advertisement Placement

Executive Search Placement is a retainer-based system with a milestone-based payment structure. It is defined by targets organisations, project milestones and deliverables and we work with the hiring company on an exclusive basis.

If you require hiring of executive or specialised positions, our Search Consultants with their excellent industry contacts and focused approach are able to recruit the most talented and qualified executives. We use the utmost discretion when conducting such a search and treat our candidates with complete confidentiality.

All of our projects begin with a job briefing to gather the necessary information to craft a Position Profile. This Position Profile includes key information regarding the opening, in order to ensure that the relevant factors are taking into account in the course of the search:

• Job brief in detail
• Position description 
• Project timeframe
• Candidate qualifications 
• Recruiting targets 
• Key selection criteria 
• Compensation/salary 
• Career advancement potential

Using executive search tools and techniques, our consultants immediately begin researching, contacting, screening and developing potential candidates. Details of potential candidates who, upon an in-depth screening of their employment information, are qualified and interested in the position are developed. In addition, we will interview and evaluate each separate potential candidate soon after your initial feedback. Throughout the search process, our consultants will provide regular reports on the status of search and progress of development through email exchanges and telephone discussions.

Upon the presentation of the candidate shortlist, we would work with the client and selected candidates in the interview process, actively managing expectations and addressing any areas of concern as they arise. Once a final candidate is chosen, our consultants will thoroughly check employment and personal references. Upon your request, we would also coordinate pre-employment investigative checks including salary, past work performance and employment history.

Search & Selection Placement is a success-based system, with the search fee payable only upon the successfully hire of a candidate. A combination of methods, including research, database search, and job advertisement are used to reach out to suitably qualified candidates. Speed is an advantage in this system, where clients are able to receive profiles for most openings within three-working days. It is generally suited for positions that are either generic in nature or does not require the service levels provided for in an Executive Search Placement.

Advertisement Response Placement is a service using the placement of job advertisements to draw interest and applications through electronic and print media. This option is designed for clients seeking to recruit multiple or specific positions. In this selection effort, we will do a preliminary sorting, screening of the applicants and manage all the responses.

With significant expertise in media placement, we are able to identify the best media to target the most relevant audience for you. We will combine our knowledge in copywriting, creative and media know-how to advice on any requirement. Every candidate will be informed in writing as to the result of their application. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a competency-based interview.
