Before we can effectively recruit for a client company we first need to understand the qualities that will lead to long term success. Working with our partners we assess their corporate and individual styles, culture, and policies to help us determine the type of person who will best fit in. Only then can we focus on the specific position requirements.

Working closely with the hiring manager, Human Resources, and any other key people in the process, we mutually develop a robust compelling profile that best represents your company. In conjunction with this we also create a clear and precise definition of your needs, which in turn becomes the basis for the Job Description. Included in this is a Performance Profile that accurately sets the targets, goals and traits of a superior performer along with the challenges that this position will face and have to overcome. Further to this we also create an information pack to fully brief candidates and have your company represented in the best possible light.

Before any search is started we systematically create a target source-list of all the potential companies we believe will contain candidates who possess the right skill sets. These may be direct competitors or synergistic companies, that through common markets, parallel processes or similar cultures will have candidates with the desired skill sets. Once a target list is created, it is forwarded to the hiring manager for perusal, any comments, possible additions and final approval. Once the list has been approved the search will commence immediately and in earnest.

In conjunction with clients we design a unique interviewing template to fully analyze all potential candidates for the role. During the interview we assess the potential overall fit from both a business and a personal perspective. This will be used to evaluate the candidate's innate intelligence, business acumen along with their technical skills & limitations. We also assess their short and long term goals, motivators, creativity, management style and strengths, personality, and assertiveness. We look for High Performance candidates who have the knowledge, ability and the motivation to do the job.

Once we are satisfied that we have identified the best people for the job, confidential profiles are then prepared on all of these viable candidates. Our goal is to present a final slate of between three and five candidates who fit the requirements outlined in the candidate specification document. This shortlist is presented to the client for interview.

I.Tel consultants will coordinate the interview process, including gathering feedback after all meetings. Once a successful candidate has been identified, the consultant will act as the conduit for the offer and where necessary act as the intermediary in any negotiations.

In all cases reference checks will be conducted once a candidate is at the offer stage. These background checks are carried out to ascertain the successful candidate’s suitability prior to commencement. It is highly recommended that the referees are current or former managers of the successful candidate.

Once the search is completed a full report will be presented to the client. This will include the project time-line, significant milestones and candidates identified, contacted & their comments & outcome. This is a fully transparent report that can be used to assess and compare I.Tel's performance.
