Recruitment Process
Our Recruitment Process
PSG’s in depth recruitment process ensures we meet our clients staffing requirements in an accurate and timely manner. To enable this to happen our experienced consultants carry out the following processes prior to being engaged by a client for an assignment:
Pre-screening
This is the first line of communication between our recruiters and the candidate. While most recruiters will be trying to sell a candidate on their open roles during this crucial step, PSG feels this is the opportunity to actively listen and truly find out the motivators of the candidate. Pre-screening is a telephone interview, which enables our recruiters to listen to how well the candidate can articulate their knowledge and experiences as outlined on their resume as well as getting to know the individual.
Face-to-face Interview
This process is an in-depth evaluation of the candidate’s background, work history and technical skills. It is also PSG’s opportunity to establish ourselves as a trusted partner for the candidate. This enables our recruiters to match not only the technical skills of the candidate but also identify the culture fit between the candidate and our clients. This process is a blend of art and science and is part of our secret sauce. Thanks to our experienced team, there’s no need to choose between skills and culture fit.
Reference Check
This is a vital process in ensuring that candidates are ‘who they say they are’ and identifying that they have successfully proven themselves to a previous manager. References provide confidence in both the recruiters representing the candidate and clients who are considering the candidate for a position in their organization. It’s the little things that matter.
Client Meeting
Just as meeting our candidates face to face is imperative, the same can be said for our clients. Any firm can send you a job description to review, but that doesn’t tell the whole story of what a company and its team members are about. By taking the time to meet our clients and their hiring managers, we can have a truly consultative approach where we can deliver the best (and longest lasting) value to both our clients and candidates.
