Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) May 9, 2007 -- Slade Consulting Group (SCG) provides recruitment solutions to select employers to solve their critical search dilemmas. The executive recruitment process is engaged by clients who seek a definitive action plan after traditional internal sourcing methods such as advertising and word-of-mouth referrals have not generated the quality or volume of talent desired.
Brett Slade, Managing Director of Slade Consulting Group describes their executive recruitment process, branded SLADESEARCH™, "a refreshingly different and performance driven process which prompts employers to make informed and timely action surrounding their critical recruitment decisions". Rather than rely on employer supplied job descriptions, Slade Consulting Group works backwards to understand the true hiring requirement and gains consensus from all relevant decision makers on what is the best possible hire. This is followed by collaboration with their client to develop a search specific customized strategy inclusive of a comprehensive candidate sourcing plan and estimated timeline to short-list delivery.
Studies by assessment specialist Dr. Brad Smart show that CEO's are disappointed in their search firm's results 79% of the time. Dr. Smart is recognized as the world's foremost expert on hiring and is the best-selling author of Topgrading: How Leading Companies Win By Hiring, Coaching, and Keeping the Best People. Brett adds, a notorious way recruiters miss the mark is by using a "cookie cutter approach". "Each search is different and requires a clear upfront understanding of the unique client and role specific requirements", otherwise Brett explains, the odds of the search failing are much higher. Further critical steps in the SLADESEARCH™ process include generation of real time research and application of the latest assessment methodology to find, attract, assess, and retain top talent.
Slade Consulting Group delivers holistic solutions to select clients in a variety of industries. "We choose to work with fewer clients across several industries", Brett says. This approach enhances SCG's product by offering their clients unobstructed, premier access to the best talent. "Holistic talent supply", Brett claims, is what enriches their big picture understanding of their client and allows them to offer cost saving as a result of the efficiencies gained through executing multiple cross-functional assignments year over year.
Slade Consulting Group's mission statement is: to help their clients win through delivering the best possible recruitment solutions. "Our process from start to finish is a collaborative team effort. We ensure our clients are always kept in the loop, and receive consistent and reliable weekly progress updates" says Brett. Furthermore Slade Consulting Group provides their customer on-line access to their extranet facility for real-time access to their assignment's progress and submit a progress package including an electronic leadership profile on each candidate and a Market Feedback Summary.
The company offers broader recruitment solutions beyond SLADESEARCH™ executive placement to include their fastest growing practice: Foreign Worker Recruitment which caters to labour starved employers in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Cross-border sourcing capabilities, Brett explains is a unique value proposition of Slade Consulting Group. Brett cautions employers to be certain that they are working with recruiters that have experience: "not many recruiters have the resources or understand well enough government policy on international movement of people to truly add value". The process, Brett further explains,can "spiral out of control if not handled properly" by a competent and experienced international recruiter.
