Recruitment And Placement

RECRUITMENT AND PLACEMENT

We have one set fee structure in an effort to ensure simplicity and budgeting. This fee is set at a very competitive 10% of the annual salary cost, not cost to company remuneration. We are not concerned if we do not receive “exclusivity” when doing placements as we endeavour to find the right candidate.

Additional Inclusive Services.

This recruitment process is a seamless facilitation, and these inclusive services are part of our service delivery and included in each assignment.

1.       Assistance with the compilation and design of the job specification for the client so to attract the correct candidate.

2.       Assistance with the design of the Role Profile and or Job Description to ensure adherence and competencies of the new employee.

3.       Compilation of a specific, customised Letter of Employment for the successful candidate, either Indefinite or a Fixed Term period or even Project based.

4.       The consultancy takes “ownership “of the assessment process of the new employee within the stipulated probationary period, ie regular follow ups and appraisals with the Client and employee during this  period (3 months).

5.       The replacement of this employee at no additional cost, if project based, to client, save for the possibility of a further display advert if needed.

6.       We will attend to the criminal checks for each candidate (inclusive) as well as any qualification check if needed.

7.       The personality checks are incorporated in our checks on previous employers, and we obtain a reference irrespective.

All candidates are carefully screened and where possible reference checked. Please note that all references forwarded to our clients are strictly confidential if required. We also undertake criminal checks and do verification checks ourselves on all our candidates.

Guarantee

The Consultancy will guarantee the placement of the new employee for a period of three months from the date of commencement of the employee. This guarantee will only be on employees who are deemed to be “unsuitable” for reasons relating to misconduct, incapacity including poor performance and any other reason that can not be attributed to the conduct of the Client.
