For Employers
We test the brief against the market, then assess candidates against the role, environment and result the appointment must deliver.
HR Recruitment
HR recruitment starts with understanding the people work behind the title.
Employee relations, talent acquisition, learning and development and people partnering require different strengths. We clarify the workforce, remit and level of influence before assessing candidates.
Sector overview
The employee agenda determines the HR brief.
An HR Adviser handling casework needs a different background from a People Partner supporting organisational change. The brief should explain the workforce, stakeholders and decisions the person will influence.
Employers and candidates
Clear expectations improve both sides of the process.
The search works better when the employer and candidate both understand the work, the practical requirements and the reason for the move.
