At People in Focus, we pride ourselves on connecting top-tier talent with organisations that align with their goals and values. However, achieving this level of precision requires a strong partnership with our clients. To ensure we consistently deliver the best candidates, here’s what we need from you:
1. A Well-Defined Job Description
The foundation of a successful hire is a clear, detailed job description. For People in Focus to identify the ideal candidate, we need:
Essential qualifications and skills: Distinguish between must-haves and nice-to-haves.
Experience requirements: Outline the level and type of experience critical for success.
A realistic picture of daily responsibilities and expectations.
Why this matters: The more information we have, the better we can target candidates who align perfectly with your needs.
2. Insights Into Your Company Culture
We specialise in matching candidates not just based on skills but also on cultural fit. To do this effectively, we need a deeper understanding of your organisation’s values, mission, and work environment.
Share details like:
What makes your team thrive?
Unique aspects of your work culture or leadership style.
Opportunities for growth and development.
Our focus: Aligning candidates who will seamlessly integrate and add value to your organisation.
3. A Clear Hiring Roadmap
Our expertise at People in Focus shines when we work within a structured hiring framework. Here’s what we need:
Timelines: When do you need this role filled?
Process specifics: Number of interview rounds, stakeholders involved, and the expected decision-making time.
Budget clarity: Salary ranges, benefits, and flexibility expectations.
Why this matters: A defined roadmap minimizes delays and keeps top-tier candidates engaged.
4. Transparent and Regular Communication
Effective recruitment thrives on open and timely communication. As your recruitment partner, People in Focus values regular updates on:
Evolving job requirements or organisational priorities.
Feedback on submitted resumes and interview outcomes.
Any potential roadblocks in the hiring process.
Our commitment: To pivot quickly and refine the search when needed, ensuring your time is never wasted.
5. Access to Decision-Makers
Collaboration with hiring managers or key stakeholders is vital for us to fully understand the nuances of the role. These conversations provide insights that go beyond job descriptions, helping us fine-tune the search.
Pro tip: A kick-off meeting with your team ensures everyone is aligned and sets the stage for success.
6. Timely Feedback on Candidates
To keep the recruitment process efficient, People in Focus relies on actionable feedback. Instead of vague responses like “not the right fit,” share specifics:
Did they lack technical skills?
Was there a mismatch in cultural expectations?
Were there communication style concerns?
Why this matters: Your input helps us refine the candidate pool and zero in on the perfect fit faster.
7. Commitment to the Hiring Process
Our partnership works best when clients are fully engaged. Quick responses to candidate submissions, interview scheduling, and decision-making are crucial to securing top talent in today’s competitive market.
Remember: Delays in communication or indecision may lead to losing exceptional candidates to other opportunities.
