ND Search has invested heavily in its knowledge base. Its experienced consultants specialise in senior management and talent pool recruitment, identifying the business leaders of tomorrow.
As every assignment is unique in its own way, we choose to adapt a “solutions neutral” approach, meaning that the sourcing methodologies preferred are tailored to the precise requirements of the client every time.
Methodologies include:
- Targeted search where we agree specific sectors, companies or individuals we wish to map and target.
- Network search where specific industry knowledge is less important than behavioural qualities, competencies and track record of delivery.
- Advertised selection in quality broadsheets, and industry-specific trade journals.
- Executive search with a full mapping exercise of the business area involved to fully define a market.
- Corporate mapping of key market trends, and the HR and commercial strategy of competitors.
- Designing and hosting Assessment Centres.
- Other services such as talent benchmarking, organisation structure and strategy, validation and salary surveys.
Advertised Selection
Our Advertised Selection Service provides numerous benefits to clients and most importantly, attracts exclusive candidates that are unavailable from any database.
Advertised Selection grants you the time to focus on your foremost responsibilities. We manage the recruitment process from start to finish, dealing with the advertising copy, booking the space and handling the response in a professional manner, reflecting your organisations values.
Often this methodology will be employed on a retained basis due to the additional time and resources needed to complete such an assignment successfully.
Database Search
We use a specialised database that quickly delivers quality candidates to an exact recruitment specification. We are constantly utilising different marketing tactics to increase our database of relevant contract, temporary and interim professionals.
We register hundreds of new candidates each month through Internet advertising, press advertising, mailings, referral schemes and recommendations, strategic alliances and partnerships, networking and proactive resourcing methodologies. Through this marketing we are able to instantly source relevant candidates who are proactively looking for new career opportunities. We specifically target professionals who have sector experience, as many of our clients require candidates who have previously worked within their industry.
