Candidate screening
With preliminary i’s dotted and t’s crossed, our online teams activate social media engagement and tracking systems for both proactive outreach and incidental applications. We keep you informed of progress and interest per pre-arranged intervals – optimising our marketing strategy on-the-fly.
Throughout this process, our automated system examines applicants against basic requirements to eliminate unsolicited and irrelevant submissions.
Once the required level of interest has been obtained on deadline, we submit the full portfolio of submitted applications, in electronic format, for your review.
How our understanding of ATS will provide better results for screening applicable candidates
The key to successful Application Tracking Systems (ATS) search criteria is critical keyword selection. Careful seeding and accurate keyword placement ensure that we recognise a broad net of the most viable candidates from all tracking systems.
Interview process
Our specialist sourcing and candidate interview service encompasses end-to-end online search, network referral and remote vetting processes. This liberates you from the time-consuming burden of initial reviews, first interviews and follow-ups.
Our experienced teams provide two-step assistance in both standardising submissions to speed up your review process and manage the second vetting process.
Advising applicants of interview outcomes
Proactive feedback with candidates through the hiring process is essential to uplift your reputation. Ostensibly the most delicate step in the post-selection process, we manage sentiments beyond the selection process, co-crafting both selection and rejection letters and facilitating direct contact.
