Step 1: Database Search
Over the years that we have spent in accounting and recruitment we have developed an extensive database of high quality candidates at all levels.
Step 2 : Advertising
Advertising the role will also help us identify any new people in the market who might not be registered with us. Our preferred method of advertising is via the internet. One important point here is that we don’t on charge our client s for the advertising that we undertake.
Step 3 : Networking and Referrals
One of our main sources of candidates is through our extensive networks within professional bodies such as the CPA, ICAA. These networks also include sporting and social groups both real and internet based. We firmly believe that good people know other good people.
Step 4 : Processing the applicants
All applicants are subject to screening and a rigorous interview process. Our interviews are generally conducted by 2 consultants and during this process we use competency based and behavioural questioning techniques to gain a true understanding of the candidates’ abilities. We also take the time to give the individuals career advice and counselling so even if they are unsuccessful in their application they will have gained something through the process. After the completion of the process the consultants prepare a detailed candidate Summary Report that we submit to the client
Step 5: Submission and Interview
Once an applicant is deemed worthy of submission, we will send our Summary Report and the candidates CV in their format. We will follow up the email with a call and arrange an interview time suitable for both parties. One of our consultants will be available to attend the interview if you require assistance or coaching in the interview process.
Step 6: Feedback and Offer
When the interview is completed, we will take and give feedback to both parties. At this stage we will also ensure that all the appropriate documentation including references have been finalised and made available to you. If an offer is made we will communicate the offer on your behalf and then manage the process so that you get the best possible outcome.
Step 7: Commencement and Retention
When the candidate commences the role the consultant will keep in touch with you and your new employee to ensure that both parties are meeting their obligations. We will continue to stay in touch until the candidate has successfully completed their probation period. We can also assist you in developing retention strategies to retain your new staff member.
