Executive Recruitment Perth

As with most things, design always casts the biggest shadow. Clearly articulating your business and the role in a way that answers all the great questions an A-Grade candidate will ask you is the most critical step in the process.

This extends beyond market and competitor research and includes 20 scoping questions that you ideally need to be able to answer before we start recruiting. This questioning and analysis provides fuel for a concise Performance Profile and Information Memorandum that will underpin the rest of your process.

Finding A-Grade people is never easy, but it’s not impossible. We understand where A-Grade talent ‘lives’, what they are looking for and how to reach them.  We proactively target, or ‘head hunt’, passive as well as active talent utilising a range of methods encompassing digital search tools, referrals, networking and advertising.

Its our job to convey your value proposition to the most relevant A-Grade people and explain your company strategy, culture, challenges and how the role fits in to achieving your growth goals.  This positions you to select from a short list of the most suitable and motivated candidates.

Relying on gut feel isn’t enough when selecting A-Grade talent. A comprehensive approach dramatically increases the probability of making better decisions.  We guide you through this process utilising structured interviews with questions targeting key aspects of the role, cognitive and skills testing, background checks, social interaction with the team where relevant, and finally a scorecard for making the final decision.

The majority of new starters make up their minds about how long they intend to stay with their employer in the first day, week or month of their start date, so it is important to start the new employment relationship off on the right foot and set up new hires for success.  Doing so protects you from one of the greatest disappointments of all: losing an A-Grade candidate before they make the intended impact.

We work with you to ensure successful onboarding through pre-start engagement, first week education and then 30 – 90 day productivity expectations are met with regular feedback loops.
