Research Drives our Choice of Warriors
This is creative work undertaken on a systematic and incremental basis to expand the stock of knowledge: including knowledge of talent, criticality and scarcity of real warriors, warriors/talent with disabilities, culture of organizations, industry knowledge and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise chemistry/fit requirements and advising our clients accordingly.
This is underpinned by studious inquiry or examination especially the investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts with the aim to understand talent dynamics and to build informed facts regarding talent management.
Research Intelligence
Our team of subject matter experts and our ability to maximise the intelligence network enables us to provide research across a wide section of vertical markets and topics such as:
-
Salary Surveys-we use our research team and our service providers-Linkedin, PNET, Career Junction and Executive Placements.
-
Skills migration.
-
Talent attraction and retention trends.
-
Careful and diligent research.
-
Constant updating of the database, newsletter, profiles and website to better reflect these dynamics.
Critical Knowledge
We spend time in the Organisation to gauge and feel the temperature. Understanding our clients especially the culture and knowing our candidates career ambitions going forward underpin our approach. This is not putting bums on seats; this is more than providing a matching solution. This approach has given a high ROI for our valued clients over the years. We use a consultative approach and we believe in partnering with our clients in all assignments.
Our methodology is purely project management based. We take a detailed brief from our clients and we also perform a detailed research that informs our proposal. The proposal outlines the kind of person the client is looking for and elaborates on culture fit, experience and skills required in the role. This is included in a proposal document that is sent to the client for input. This guides how the assignment is executed.
