SEARCH & HEADHUNTING

The executive search recruitment methodology is usually relevant for positions which are at a very senior management or executive level and or where scarce competencies are sought. This service is offered on an exclusive basis and the client should not have engaged other recruitment service providers at the same time.

The process includes the following:

• the consultant takes an in-depth job specification and brief from the client ensuring that he/she understands the nature of the client/company's business, culture, the specific qualifications and competencies required (experience and skills), the key performance factors of the job, the person specification for the job and any sensitivities / nuances of importance
• the consultant conducts a search process, identifying suitable applicants to be approached, interested and considered for the position
• the consultant is responsible for carefully screening and interviewing applicants comprehensively, conducting competency based interviews
• presenting a short list of suitable applicants to the client

On short-listed applicants:

• conducting one or two confidential, tailor-made references, based on the competencies required for the position. References are obtained from previous immediate superiors and employers, contacting relevant parties. Referees are verified before the reference is taken. When an offer of employment is extended, it can be made subject to a favourable reference from the candidate's current employer. References serve as value added information to support selection decisions.
• conducting Credibility Assessments (verification of identity, academic qualification/s, previous recorded employer/s, last address on record, credit standing and criminal record check) on each short-listed applicant, with permission granted by the applicant. Such Credibility Assessments are outsourced to expert service providers and conducted on the information available at the time. The costs are borne by pinpoint one.
• co-ordinating all meetings between the client and the applicants
• facilitating the recruitment process up to its conclusion, i.e. making the offer of employment to the selected candidate, the negotiations, the acceptance of the offer of employment and confirmation of commencement of employment conducting post-selection follow-up discussions with both the client and the appointee after the commencement of employment by the candidate, during the guarantee period

The above solutions carry different fees and fee structures, which are quoted and agreed with the client before the assignment commences.
