SERVICES

Providing our clients with superior search solutions and distinctive market research reports.

    • HEADHUNTING & EXTRACTION
    • Headhunting: Efficient, effective identification & attraction of best-of-breed talent for your team. Most often these people are inactive candidates – candidates who would otherwise remain invisible or unattainable to your organisation.

    • Our discreet targeting approach unlocks significant value for our clients by reducing the time to hire while mitigating the risks of engaging a sub-optimal hire.
    • Extractions: In the event that it is required, we will act as a third party by providing our clients with the freedom to target and recruit
      candidates from specific competitors, for an appropriately reduced fee.
    • SPECIALIST SALARY SURVEYS
    • We help our clients to attract and retain their human resources by ensuring that their remuneration structures are relevant and competitive with the market.

    • Each salary survey that we undertake involves extensive, customised and targeted research based on relevant and up-to-date compensation information.
    • The results of our surveys assist our clients in determining the most appropriate and competitive remuneration structures for their employees, while accounting for the particular role, region, industry, and company size.

    • CUSTOMISED MARKET MAPS
    • We provide our clients with a comprehensive understanding of the specific market from which they require resourcing in order to prequalify the skills and capabilities of the candidate(s) they wish to recruit before embarking on a full recruitment process.

    • Talent market maps serve as the basis for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of what the market has to offer and where the specific niches of talent exist.

    • Talent market maps also serve as a pre-emptive tool for future succession planning.

OUR APPROACH

Our unique business model blends the traditional research methodologies and market mapping techniques of executive search with the mutually aligned payment principles of contingency success-based fees.
