Our Recruitment Process

A recruitment strategy that works and works well is one of the key ingredients for helping businesses find top candidates. Our recruiting firm is widely recognized for our personalized solutions that adapt to each client’s individual recruiting needs and challenges. We also take into account local nuances that could influence the type of professional our client wants to hire. This helps us deliver high-quality candidates whose mindsets and skills are perfectly in line with our client’s business culture and objectives.

We believe in keeping things transparent, so below is a step-by-step breakdown of how our recruitment process works.

1. Laying the Groundwork

First, we get to know our client’s firm and develop a job description and specifications for the open role. This helps us determine the responsibilities of the position, as well as the technical and people skills, experience, and qualifications that are needed to do the work.

We base the job description and specifications on the information we get during meetings with the client and important business leaders. This helps us align everything with the company’s goals. We also find out about the nature of the role (e.g., temporary or permanent, full- or part-time), where it ranks in the organization, and whether it is remote or on-site.

This gives our recruiters a blueprint of what to look out for in professionals, so we don’t waste time engaging the wrong people.

2. Starting the Search

Our recruiting agents begin actively reaching out to candidates. They use our extensive network and NPAworldwide membership to find the best fit, keeping in mind that the right candidate could already be employed somewhere else or even in another industry. We use applicant tracking software (ATS) to find resumes with the desired keywords and skills, which helps us to quickly locate the most qualified people.

3. Evaluating Candidates

The assessment phase helps us to narrow down the talent pool we established in the second step. We do an extensive evaluation of each candidate’s employment history, credentials, and achievements to find out who could be the right match. We also get prospects to complete psychometric and competency tests so we can get to know their personalities and work ethic.

Once we have the results of our assessments, we contact each candidate to confirm their interest in the role, find out if they are available, and organize interviews with them.

4. Interviewing and Background Checks

Our recruiters interview the best candidates to find out more about who they are. They also ask questions to see if they will fit in with the client’s company culture. Candidates may go through several rounds of interviews with both our recruiters and the client’s hiring team before a finalist is chosen.

When the client chooses a final candidate, we do a full background and reference check to make sure that the details on their resume are accurate. This verifies their honesty and alignment with the hiring company’s policies and standards.

5. Offer Negotiating and Onboarding

Our recruiting firm will extend an offer to the chosen candidate on our client’s behalf. If they accept it, we will support them and the client through onboarding to help them transition into their new job.

Our recruiters stay on hand until the new hire’s probation period ends to make sure there are no problems and that both parties are happy with the outcome.

Why Do We Use a Tailored Approach to Professional Recruitment?

In our firm’s early days, we used a generic recruitment method that treated every hiring project as the same. While this approach was good enough for filling entry-level and mid-level roles, it didn’t have the finesse needed for finding senior and specialized talent.

We realized this during a high-profile placement for a prominent client. While the professional we recommended was a good match for the job description, their management style differed from what their teammates were accustomed to. This resulted in friction between the new hire and our client’s existing team, which caused the placement to fail.

That setback motivated us to reevaluate our approach. We implemented a more customer-oriented method that focused on getting to know our clients’ unique business goals, strategy, and culture. We started to combine these insights into the bigger recruitment picture, which, in turn, helped us to put the right people in the right jobs.

Our reformed approach has helped us to build long-lasting relationships with our clients, get consistently good results, and improve our clients’ employee turnover rates. Our dedication to getting to know every organization’s unique requirements sets us apart from other professional recruiting agencies and has positioned us as a forerunner in the industry.

To make sure we keep setting the standard in our field, we are dedicated to continuous learning and growth. That means monitoring current and emerging recruitment trends and regularly updating our processes so they remain relevant.
