A critical success factor for business is to employ the right people. Incorrect placements inhibit organisational productivity and can lead to conflict in the work place. Achieving a 'best fit' between company, position and employee are therefore vital for employer and employee alike.
We aim to do this, by understanding our clients - their culture, structure, systems and strategy. We also endeavour to understand the external business environment in which our clients operate. This makes achieving 'best fit' more probable.
Understanding our candidates will be achieved by researching their backgrounds, interviewing them and knowing their aspirations. Where necessary, we will use psychometric profiling. We will then target the organisation and position to which we feel they are best suited.
A 'best fit' between client and candidate, will enable us to add long term value to our clients in a mutually beneficial business partnership.
