TRUST CONCEPT
Our philosophy and operations in headhunting is entirely engrained in trust, as it connects members and guarantees the ability to act together and this is where GE Hunter can help by partnering. It is imperative that we gain the trust from our candidates, to successfully place them and that clients trust us as partners – as we passionately work with integrity and care, maintaining standards to deliver rewarding results that empower businesses. Working in this way has proven to be effective, with the average time of our placed candidates staying in a company for 4 years.
All companies require leaders with personality, strength and determination, the ability to attract crowds, efficient managers – with the ability to cope with any difficulties in achieving targets, and specialists in various stages of implementing strategies. We are experienced in effectively sourcing and managing such talent, which is why we utilize a Trust Concept – an acronym of Talent Research Understanding Solution and Timing, following the principles.
TALENT
When the markets are more competitive than ever, it is crucial for companies to employ the best talent possible. As we are connected to high quality new talent on a daily basis, we know their full background, as we meet them to understand their strengths and weaknesses, their key drivers and motivations.
This method of communication and the role of the mentor that we take, allows us to identify ways to improve strengths and weaknesses so that candidates are fully prepared for career progression.
RESEARCH
As recruitment is a business that involves people from different cultures, backgrounds and positions, it can be a sensitive matter. We therefore, have a Code of Ethics that we always follow – we always approach a wide range of candidates, targeting already established contacts and companies agreed in the strategy. To us, every candidate is exceptional but all are treated equally.
Every project is tailored to the specific needs of our client, their culture and values, as you may have only one candidate who is finally the best match. We also work on attracting inactive candidates, presenting them with new options for future development.
UNDERSTANDING
We acknowledge that each company has it’s own work culture and dynamic. The role of a true headhunter is not only about finding a good professional, but also about identifying with a certain company. It is essential to understand their personality, to understand in what environment and under what kind of management structure they perform best in.
In addition to this working closely with the client allows us to fully understand the correct approach, necessary requirements and work freely in assisting them with their brief.
SOLUTION
Our aim is to find solutions to individual situations, whilst being flexible and adopting an, “out of the box” thinking. Being flexible with our time, and approach allows us to be creative and meet the expectations of the clients. In order to fully understand and offer the best solution to our client, we work with the same person during the whole process. This ensures thorough consistency, as the same person after meeting the company and having understood all details of the client’s way of working, does; the briefing session, coordinates the whole search process and meets and assesses all the potential candidates. We then prepare a weekly report on all activities taken to give our client awareness on the progress made and to gain confidence.
TIMING
Good timing takes great effort, communication and planning in the background and we are key advocates of this at GE Hunter. Having strong resources at hand and following the agreed strategy, we conduct our research by quickly identifying people that are potentially interesting for the position from the market, functional and geographical point of view. Based on these activities we guarantee the presentation of a short-list within 4 weeks.
The interview process is subject to client planning and possibilities to meet the candidates. However, it is our objective that this should be finished within 2 weeks. It is our obligation to meet all the deadlines and we take pride in actually delivering on time.
