Recruitment for a job vacancy is more than just skill-matching

Selecting the right person, means less work and angst later on in the employment phase, it means taking the time to carefully source the best candidates.

We receive daily calls from employers seeking skilled and work-ready candidates, often the request goes something like this,  ” Could you check on your books for a good….. and get back to us?”.

 

Yes, we can check our data base against any employer’s criteria and we do this often, however permanent placement is more than finding a basic skills match!

We wish recruitment was that easy, and through many years of employment recruitment experience, we believe that is not what  an excellent Recruitment service is all about.

Quality recruits means quality sourcing, screening and selection.

It means that the following steps must be followed

• Gathering information along with a comprehensive briefing from the employer on the role, responsibilities and rate of pay
• Meeting and forming a long lasting relationship with the employer and potential employee
• Consulting and advising on IR, HR and salary benchmarks
• Advertising and promoting the role to source the best candidates
• Sourcing and screening appropriate candidates
• Setting deadlines and touch points for the final selection
• Organising final interviews
• Obtaining reference checks and resume authenticity
• Remaining and maintaining contact with both parties post commencement
