Getting to know you and your business
We learn your business and values so we can find the right fit
We know finding the right person for your business is about far more than just a job description. It’s often the unwritten things that are the most important in getting the fit right. We take the time to connect with you and learn your vision, values and goals, we learn the role/s deeply and build a talent attraction strategy that is right for you for each and every role.

Advertising copy and placement
We know what works and how to attract the right people
I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying – ‘It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it’ … and it couldn’t be truer when it comes to job adverts. Speaking to your audience in a way that truly reflects the voice of your business and team is critical in attracting the person that’s right for you. We’re experts who thrive on getting to know you and then sharing your story in a compelling and attractive way. We know what works and how best to share that message across various advertising platforms.

We have the expertise, tools and networks to do this better and faster
We have extensive networks developed from years in business. Connecting, sharing and discussing in these groups means we know what’s going on, who is in the market and how to connect you with the right people. We utilise modern search tools and technology and create a targeted, strategic approach to find people with the skills and expertise you’re searching for.
Let’s be honest, most talented people aren’t actively seeking a new role – but we’ll find them, entice and engage them and then connect them with you! We leave no stone unturned.

Screening, assessing and selecting
We know the right questions to ask, to get the fit just right
We know how to ask the most effective questions. We go deeper in understanding a candidate’s skills, experience and what makes them tick. We will connect with a candidate multiple times for screening before a they make it to your shortlist. We’re talking about emails, messages, phone screening and behavioural based interviewing.
Every candidate is deeply and carefully considered before you meet them.

Shortlisting
Our robust process and expertise mean we identify the best and screen out the rest
We don’t ‘flick CV’s’ or drop a shortlist and run. We spend time with you to discuss and share why every selected candidate has made it onto the shortlist. We will share how we see each individual person could fit into your business.
It’s not a numbers game, it’s a careful and considered process of selecting the right people.

Client interviewing
We help you run successful interviews
Interviewing is second nature to us; we get that it’s probably not for you! We help you get prepared for the big day partnering with you and your board, or line managers to run interviews when needed.
Alternatively, we can create the interview structure, questions and processes to support you when you need it.
