Plastics recruiters Blueprint
4 Steps to Hiring Success
We use a unique four-step method to exceed the expectations of our clients, each and every time.
Here’s how the process works, from your initial vacancy right on through to fulfilment of the requirement.
1. Create Search Foundation
We create a strong search foundation, based on KPIs and critical success factors. We then help create or refine your Unique Value Proposition. Our research team then combines human effort with the latest in Artificial Intelligence to identify all possible companies and employees to target for your position.
2. Engagement Campaign
Our Engagement Campaign is comprised of a dialing blitz with multiple follow-ups, multiple-touch email campaigns, text campaign, our 24/7 social media marketing, and our daily presence in the market. We introduce you to people that will never see an advertisement or job board. This is targeted at the top talent, who are not active job-seekers.
3. Assessment & Selection
We work closely with our clients, utilizing a proven assessment process that eliminates personal bias in interviews, and determines which person is best fit for your company. This includes Recruiter interviews, company interviews, scorecards, candidate auditions, and 2 types of reference checks. This process has proven to result in much more accurate hires than utilizing “gut feel”.
4. Hiring & Retaining
We have a proven offer making process that closes 85%+ of the time, proven thousands of times. We offer Pre-Boarding and On-Boarding training for our clients to keep candidates engaged from the moment they sign an offer, periodic follow-ups for up to 6 months to ensure a smooth transition, backed by the longest guarantee in the industry, up to one full year.
