Common questions about our Fixed-fee Recruitment services.
What strategies do you use to attract a diverse pool of qualified candidates?
We go above and beyond to ensure that we attract a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates. Our multi-faceted approach involves leveraging a wide range of channels, such as popular online job boards, targeted advertising campaigns on social media platforms, and tapping into our extensive candidate database. We also actively engage with professional networks and communities to reach candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is deeply ingrained in our recruitment process, fostering a culture of equal opportunities for all.
What methods do you use to assess candidates’ qualifications, skills, and cultural fit?
We employ a comprehensive and rigorous assessment process to evaluate candidates’ qualifications, skills, and cultural fit. This process includes in-depth interviews, conducted either in-person or via video conference, where we delve into candidates’ technical expertise and experience. Furthermore, we design and administer tailored assessments and tests specifically aligned with the roles you are hiring for. Additionally, we conduct thorough reference checks and background screenings to ensure candidates’ credibility and cultural alignment with your organisation’s values.
What is the typical turnaround time for filling a position from the initial request to the final selection?
We recognise the urgency in filling positions promptly without compromising quality. While the specific turnaround time can vary depending on factors such as the level of the position, length of advertising, role complexity, and market conditions, our clients typically experience a swift turnaround time of four weeks from the initial request to the final candidate selection. We prioritise efficiency without compromising thoroughness and keep you well-informed throughout the process, ensuring that your hiring needs are met in a timely manner.
Can you provide any assessments or tests tailored to the roles we are hiring for?
