Let us handle the details
From reviewing CVs to screening and interviewing  candidates, the time you spend on recruiting is time  spent away from your core business. Kelly is there  every step of the way, letting you concentrate on your  priorities.

A single point of contact
A dedicated Search&Selection consultant with experi ence in your sector will be your single point of contact. This consultant will be responsible for all aspects of your account, from initial briefing, to the interview and hiring process, and the follow-up assessment.
You explain your needs once and then let us take care  of the rest.

Our proactive approach
We take a proactive approach to searching for the  right candidates. We will introduce you to a short list of skilled, competent professionals who have already been profiled, interviewed, and assessed; eliminating  the time you spend with candidates who are not right  for you. We assess their skills, experience, attitude,  and motivation so that you see people who have the  right skills and are interested in your specific role.

Avoid the costly risk of a bad hire
Because it can cost up to 150% of a person's salary to replace him or her, we meticulously assess all
applicants, conducting rigorous background checks including references, degree verifications, behavioural interviews, and more.

It's our business  to understand yours
In today's candidate-driven market, an in-depth appreciation  of the person and skills you require is more  important than ever. We never forget that when we take a little extra effort to get to know you and your business, we can can make a big difference. Getting it  right the first time is the key to successful recruitment - that's why we go the extra mile.
Your dedicated Search&Selection consultant will start out with the basics - a comprehensive understanding of the nature and the dynamics of your business, and the role you are looking to fill. Putting faces to names  is fundamental when building profitable working relationships - that's why we'll always come and see you face-to-face. A thorough assessment of your needs allows us to produce a detailed brief, concentrating on the nature of the role and the type of person you are looking for. Site visits, line manager meetings, and even  job shadowing means your consultant gets a better  understanding of your company, the culture, and the  duties involved in the role.

Finding quality candidates
Make no mistake, there's a shortage of professional  employees in the labour market. This means that important positions can take longer to fill. To complicate the problem, the job seekers that contact you don't always have the skills you're looking for. Our database of pre-screened and interviewed candidates and our  extensive branch network enables us to quickly find those candidates with the skills you require. We have access to active and passive candidates who have just the right skills you're looking for. Our consultants understand there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution when  it comes to finding, assessing, and placing talent with specialised skills.
That's why we employ a number of direct sourcing techniques to identify the calibre of candidate you're seeking. This includes e-recruiting, networking, referral programs, membership in professional and com munity organizations, and much more.

A perfect match
Have you ever interviewed a candidate who has the  right qualifications and ability but no interpersonal  skills? Perhaps a candidate would fit perfectly with  your team, but lacked essential experience?
Our approach compares all aspects of the candidate - from skills, qualifications, and experience, to personality and behaviour, motivations, and ambitions, to ensure you see people who are right for you. Our advisors are experienced in conducting in-depth  skills assessments and behavioural interviews, getting beneath the surface and finding out more about the potential candidate than you might expect. Accurately matching the right candidate for a role is not always straightforward, that's why we are always refining our profiling process to consistently deliver a cost-effective and time-saving solution for our clients.

Measuring our success according to yours
Hiring the right candidate can have a big impact on your business... but not nearly as much as hiring the wrong one. Through our detailed profiling processes, Kelly will introduce you to the right candidates, not just those that meet your general qualifications. We don't try to simply 'fill seats' because we know that without rigorous assessment and pre-screening, a new hire may  result in higher organizational costs.

Flexible for you
Understanding your business needs and having a deep knowledge of the recruitment processes allow us to efficiently search and select candidates for your company. Lets us tell you about our different service levels, you can choose what fits you best.

Results you can trust
From search to selection and everything in between, we'll do all we can to ensure your satisfaction. Much like an internal HR department, our success is directly tied to yours and our job isn't done until you have a new employee with whom you are completely satisfied. In a business environment where staffing has hecome more and more complex, we can handle the highly labour-intensive responsibilities of locating your perfect candidate and delivering measurable results.
