Our Solution
Our research will focus upon four key information streams: Skill, Companies, Sectors and Networks, from which we will identify postholders for us to approach; these will include both Passive and Active candidates.
We consider that by researching each as a distinct area we will discover additional sources of data to strengthen the identification of potential candidates.
We will continuously evaluate and validate our findings and we adapt our research approaches to capitalise upon the information discovered, for example, we will review individuals work history to identify former employers and their relevant personnel for specific research.
Our approach ensures that the information we present is accurate, current and enables us to broaden the range of sources for potential candidates beyond traditional skill matches and discover individuals in comparable roles.
Our research based approach enables us to identify and engage with more candidates than advertising or traditional recruitment providers and enables our customers to reduce recruitment spend by an average of 50%..
Your Talent Pipeline
After a short period of analysis and report creation, we will present our findings in person to your stakeholders. This session provides a forum for our team to highlight any key trends in responses, highlight prominent candidates and market insights, enabling us to be consultative in our delivery rather than purely focusing upon CVs. In many instances the reasons for individuals declining the opportunity to apply can provide valuable insight to help re-position your employer brand, the job role or package.
We will focus upon provision of the potential talent to engage with, those immediately interested and suitable candidates for the position, as well as including information relating to specific required skills and experience of the broader market map.
The candidates we present to you are placement fee free, you receive a pipeline of talent to directly engage with and acquire.
