Our process

Efficient, tailored and results-driven

A structured process that guarantees you receive only the most qualified candidates.

How we work
  1. 01

    Understanding your needs

    We begin by discussing your specific requirements: the role, the environment, and the qualities that matter to you. Once we are aligned, a contract is signed and the administrative fee is processed.

  2. 02

    Targeted recruitment

    We source top-tier candidates within the agreed timeframe. Each candidate undergoes a thorough vetting process, including background checks and a psychometric assessment.

  3. 03

    Client review and selection

    Shortlisted candidates are presented for your consideration with a report on each. You select the individuals you wish to interview.

  4. 04

    Interview and deliberation

    The interview process begins at your convenience. If a candidate is not the right fit, we provide additional options rather than pushing a compromise.

  5. 05

    Finalisation

    Once you have chosen your ideal candidate, we facilitate the final steps as per the contract: the offer, the employment agreement and onboarding.

  6. 06

    And that’s how it’s done

    You have completed the process. Now all that is left is to get started. We stay in touch after the start date, and a fair replacement period applies to every placement.
