We shared a common view to providing a quality and effective recruitment consultancy service aimed at adding value to clients and candidates worldwide, with a focus on each of our consultants specialising in certain sectors, so they have a powerful understanding of what clients and candidates really want.

Since our inception and as a result of our success, we quickly out grew our offices and through organic growth we moved into new offices in Merchants Quay, Saltaire Heritage Village in September 2014.

Our company has plans to grow even further by adding more industry specific recruitment talent and in-house researchers to our business who share the same belief that recruitment can be done in an honest, ethical, consultative manner.

Exclusive Retained Search

Head hunting is by far the best solution for recruiting the very best talent within your marketplace.

Statistics show that 80% of candidates employed are not actively looking for a role and if you are not investing in a full executive search campaign, you are missing out on 80% of your markets talent pool.

Process/ Approach/ Project Management

As the successful contractor, we will provide you with the quality services and expertise our clients have come to expect. We are hugely successful when working on retained assignments and we warranty our work:

if the person you hire does not work out within six months, we will reopen the search and replace the person for no additional fee.

Our Search Services Feature:

• Designing a customised recruitment strategy to match your history and leadership patterns, current issues and future challenges.

• A calendar that starts immediately upon authorisation to proceed, includes regular progress reports and usually concludes within six to eight weeks. We can expedite the search if desired and will work with the Board of Directors’ meeting schedules as needed.

• A recruitment process and approach that includes advertising, but that relies more upon aggressive networking than passive advertising.

• A large pool of applicants who meet the minimum qualifications and a targeted, diverse pool of qualified, proven candidates for interview.

• Ongoing quality review of project deliverables, time and service benchmarks, status reports, candidate reports and coordination/ communication.

• Personal guidance and assistance to your company when facilitating interviews, evaluation of candidates, decision-making, relocation, negotiations and on-boarding of the candidate/s.

We have a straightforward, structured search process. We adapt it to your requirements and then ask you to join us as partners in its implementation. We will work closely with the Hiring Managers and Human Resource team to establish agreed upon strategy, tools, critical path items and decision points of note in the search process.

Human Resourceful

• Taking of Initial Brief We will appoint a team of consultants to the project who will identify major issues the future hire will face; determine the critical qualifications for the position(s) as identified by you; establish specific timelines; and collect information to develop the search criteria and develop a search profile.

• Scope of Services The scope of services will consist of recruitment/market strategy, recruitment including advertisements, mailings, networking, cold calling and development of a position profile/brochure; candidate contacts/evaluation, screening, including review and the development of a written Progress and Final Report of leading candidates and finalists; regular verbal and written status reports; assisting in the interview process and candidate negotiation.

• Initial Candidate Screening We sort candidates based on the criteria established, profile, comments from peers and colleagues, training & education, resume/bio review, communication ability and experience, accomplishments, references, background checks, telephone and personal meetings, the degree of their expressed interest/commitment to consider the specific position, and many other methodologies. The written Progress Report and Progress Meeting

that is provided to you is also key to assuring that we are on track and to narrow the field from leading candidates to finalists for interview, and reduce (with your input) to a list of screened finalists.

• Interview Process In addition to our telephone interview/screening/assessment of candidates, and face-to-face or video conferences with potential finalists, we will assist with the interview process as well as provide negotiation support.

• Advertising Appropriate Advertising will be used. This includes hard-copy publications and electronic media on all the major job boards (Jobsite and Monster) as well as our own web-site. Please note, however, that in our experience, the best candidates often come from networking rather than advertisement. We therefore focus a great deal of time on the networking (headhunting).

• Candidate Screening Together with the designated staff/contacts, we will reduce the pool of candidates to a list of no more than 15 semi-finalists and from there to approximately five or six (5-6) screened candidates for interview. Summary information will be provided on the leading candidates to include – background, experience, achievements & strengths, etc

13

• Selection Process Selection is made using all of the above plus an interview(s) between the candidate(s) and you. During the interview and screening process, we will consult and assist you with screening including rating and other tools.

• Offer Negotiation We work closely with the final candidate(s) and you to help negotiate an offer, acceptance, employment agreement/contract, starting date, etc. This often includes assistance drafting offer letters, compensation/benefit research, contract/agreement review, discussion with legal counsel when appropriate, and individual negotiation. We make it a point to be available to help both the final candidate and you to reach an amiable conclusion that ends with confidence and enthusiasm on both sides.

• Search Closure/ Sign-offs At the end of the search, all applicants will be appropriately notified of the result in a professional manner that reflects well on your company.

• Quality Control/ Assurance All work done as part of any and all search or consulting work for you will be subject to quality assurance, quality monitoring, quality improvement, task review/ confirmation, and standards review as part of current TAG Search and Select Policy and Operating standards. Overall supervision is provided by the Managing Director of the company with the support of the General Sales Manager and any other additional staff as and when required. We will establish benchmarks in conjunction with your company as required or appropriate.

Once we have ascertained your strengths, achievements, aspirations and expectations, our highly trained consultants can assist you and work with you discreetly and confidentially to introduce you to the relevant decision makers in your market place.

The ProcessThis is a free service but we do need open and honest communication to make this process successful and find the role you are actually looking for.

How would we do this?

• Together, we will make a target list of companies to approach on your behalf

• We will generate a target list combining our existing and growing network, our own in house database and research team and your knowledge of the market place

• Discreetly and confidentially approaching the relevant decision makers within these organisations, solely on your behalf with a view to arranging interviews

• Manage the process as seamlessly as possible by taking feedback from you and the client so we can inform you of positive/negative outcomes

• Negotiating offers of employment on your behalf and ensuring your transition into your new position goes to plan

Please note that other recruiters would charge for this service, we offer it as a free service and due to the high demand for this service, we have to be selective in who we work with.
