Our Approach
Signium ME helps clients gain competitive advantage through the identification, assessment and recruitment of the best talent. Throughout the process detailed below we keep you up-to-date with our progress by sending you weekly ‘Activity Updates’ so you can track our progress.
Step 1: Understanding What You Need
-
We meet you to ensure we understand your recruitment needs as well as your company’s goals, strategies and culture. We agree the scope of the role, its responsibilities, reporting lines and the compensation with you and then discuss the search parameters including target companies and geographical remit.
-
Post our meeting with you we prepare a Proposal incorporating all the pertinent points relating to the Search (including confirmation of our costs) and we sign it and ask you to sign it too.
Step 2: From Research to Shortlist
-
Once a client has engaged us, we start the search process. The first step is to identify and confirm target companies and candidates as well a list of referral sources using our database, network of contacts and team of researchers.
-
This allows us to create a ‘long list’ of candidates for initial assessment by us. These initial assessments enable us to screen out unsuitable candidates and concentrate on a more detailed evaluation of candidates who might go onto the shortlist. This process regularly entails us calling over one hundred individuals and on particularly tricky searches, more than this.
-
As we narrow down the list of potentially suitable candidates we conduct detailed interviews with the best, assessing them for technical ability, leadership style and cultural fit.
-
After between four to six weeks of ‘going live’ on a mandate, we are ready to review and discuss the shortlist with you.
Step 3: The Interview Process
Step 4: Candidate Selection and Presentation of Offer
-
Once the preferred candidate has been selected, we assist you in formulating an offer, presenting it to the candidate and negotiating its acceptance
-
Where asked, we are happy to conduct reference checks on your behalf.
