Our recruitment processes are unique and play a vital role in why we’re chosen by the biggest and best-known companies in our sector. It’s important to us that we not only help our clients hire the right people but that we also ensure the process is objective, data-led, and water-tight. This ideology underpins our whole process, which is comprised of four key aspects.
Identification
To run a successful search, we believe a well-thought-out process and a blueprint of the role needs to be created. Our in-house MRG Weighted Matching Matrix System helps our clients turn a one-dimensional job or person specification into that winning blueprint.
This drives decisions to be made based on evidence and data, rather than gut feeling and assumption, as well as providing the client with a tool to compare candidates’ skills.
Audience
It’s a crowded and loud marketplace, and so it’s vital for us that our client’s roles stand out.
Over the last 15 years, we’ve developed a successful method of reaching a wide and diverse audience for each role. Our bespoke digital candidate packs act as an attraction tool to potential candidates, providing additional details of the job description, company, and outlines the recruitment process.
You can view some of our previous Candidate Packs in Our Track Record.
Selection
Successful recruitment is all about making the right decisions, at the right time, and we believe the best way to do this is by implementing the correct process. Our team has unrivalled sector knowledge, which ensures they consider and offer context. Our tools also allow us to optimise the selection process; from our MRG Matrix to the latest testing technology from our official partner, Thomas International, we’re confident in our decision-making process.
You can find out more about how we utilise Thomas in our blog: An Introduction to Psychometric Assessments. You can also find out more about how this looks in practice with our Webinar Write-Up: How to Hire Great Leaders in a Competitive Market.
Capture
We believe our 96% completion rate is largely down to our blueprint identifying the correct candidates, followed by a well-managed process. This results in our final capture stage running smoothly; however, we still remain just as vigilant at this stage as any other.
Our expert team ensures they support and coach the individuals involved to ensure a smooth onboarding process.
Business Sector Director, Stephanie Howe, summarised our four-step process as: “We add value to our clients through our extensive and vigorous search processes ranging from role presentation (candidate packs, videos, social media) to proactive headhunting. MRG is made up of a team of experienced staff with low turnover, so client relationships and continuity remain strong. We have a flexible approach and are not a traditional search firm or a traditional contingency business – we can offer an extensive search approach at a range of salary and role levels.”
