Services

Twelve specialisations. One accountable team.

Selection & Recruitment

We advertise, select, shortlist, interview and forward candidates for positions at every level, and maintain a databank of senior executives seeking a change in career.

Four recruitment options

Temporary / contractual Trained stand-in candidates ready at short notice, charged by duration and level of employment.

CV databank The right candidates extremely fast, saving press advertising cost and valuable time.

Press advertising Designed and placed with client approval when a wider spectrum of candidates is needed.

Head-hunting A discreet scan of the talent market for people who are not looking. Slower than the databank, and it works.

Guarantee of quality

If a candidate we placed resigns or is terminated during probation, we replace them at no extra cost, save for costs arising from fresh instructions authorised by the client. The guarantee lapses if the client breaches the terms of employment contrary to the Employment Act 2006.

The process: applications received and graded against your terms of reference, shortlisting, then two levels of oral and written interviews, with aptitude tests and assessment centres where needed. You receive a report on the top three ranked candidates including assessments, profiles and referee letters.

Staff Training & Development

Capacity building so the workforce masters the skills it needs for effective output. Training runs from top executive to support level, as open courses or tailor-made in-house programmes for private organisations, government and NGOs.

We run baseline, mid-term and endline surveys with trained enumerators, build data capture and dashboards so results are visible between reporting cycles, and deliver process, outcome and impact evaluations. Also available: data quality assessments, beneficiary satisfaction surveys, and training so your own staff can carry the system forward.

Benefit: evidence of what your work actually achieved, in a form donors and boards can act on.
