Our approach

1. Client Engagement

Each assignment begins with an initial briefing from the Client during which the key parameters of the search are agreed and documented. Consultants then carry out an assignment study which usually involves visiting the Client’s offices and meeting with key executives to discuss the business environment, culture, priorities and any other issues that may affect the position.

2. Research & Strategy

Having defined the key selection criteria with the Client, we continue our targeted research into companies and sectors to find those best qualified for the role. Using our proprietary database and personal contacts we speak to sources familiar with those companies and industries to seek informal views and opinions on individuals we believe may be relevant and qualified.

3. Short-listing & Preliminary Interview

On the basis of our research, we approach potential candidates on an informed basis (either via phone or face-to-face depending on the logistics). Once we determine that an individual is both qualified and interested in the role, we meet in person for further evaluation. Before presenting any candidate to the Client, we conduct a competency-based interview. Each candidate is assessed on his or her technical expertise, communication and management skills, professional experience, qualitative and quantitative achievements, and personality.

4. Profile Presentation

Next, we will then prepare a profile of each short listed candidate outlining essential facts about the candidates’ background and experience. These profiles will be presented to the Client for further short-listing.

5. Client Interview & Reference Checking

Arrangements will then be made for the Client to interview the candidates they wish to see in the result of reviewing the profiles. After the Client has selected the preferred candidate, our consultants conduct thorough referencing to further measure and assess competencies, strengths and weaknesses, and to provide our Client with external views of the individual.

6. Closing

When an offer is made to a candidate, our consultants are available to participate in any negotiations. Unsuccessful candidates are courteously informed.

TalentWork will not charge any fee to the candidates nor will we accept any form of gratuity from them.
