In order to find the suitable candidate we give prime consideration to the company's existing business activities, business plans, work-culture, structures, systems and future plans. We concentrate on the job description, its key result areas, opportunities, career implications, location, salary and benefits.

Client Interviews
After shortlisting, we schedule a meeting between the short-listed candidates and the client with proper travel arrangements and handling of reimbursement of travel expenses. The consultant asks both the client and the candidates for the feedback after every interview.

Formal Reference Checks

After client interviews, we conduct a formal reference check of the selected candidates. Our team contacts individuals / companies that are capable of providing details of the candidate's qualifications, work ethics and other relevant feedback. The comments made by these references are then reviewed with the client.
