OPAL Corporate Connections fully understands that securing and retaining talented employees is crucial to the overall success of your team, and organization. However, to effectively do this requires skillful precision during the entire recruitment cycle.
Here's how we can assist you at each stage of the hiring process:
This preliminary stage is critically important. It is a chance for you to learn about us, our approach and our processes. In addition, we get to know you, the culture of the company, and how you would want the recruitment process to unfold. This ensures that OPAL is an extension of your talent acquisition team and a true HR partner.
Here, we can also eliminate any unnecessary steps, to streamline proceesses; saving you time and effort in the long run.
Together, we'll dissect and analzye the open position(s), examine what a typical day looks like, and determine what type of individual you would like to ideally join the team. We can also help with creating a detailed job description, if you don’t already have one, and breakdown the "must haves" vs. "nice to haves".
By the end of the this stage of the process, we'll have a solid understanding of the role, and the qualifications required of the individual to fill it.
Once we've established the qualifications needed of the ideal candidate, we'll review placement statistics & employment market information. Furthermore, an examination of employment trends within a given sector/industry, the candidate pool, and fair market remuneration, will shed light on what will be required to garner interest for the role.
By putting our best foot forward, we can confidently begin the recruitment cycle to find the best candidates out there.
At OPAL, we direct recruit for the candidates that have the qualifications and profile desired. We have a three (3) day turnaround where we follow up with you to advise you where we are at with our recruitment process, in addition to any challenges we might have, as well as our successes.
If any changes or amendments are needed, we can swiftly adjust our approach to the recruitment process, and start the process again.
Each and every candidate that we present to you will have been expertly screened by one of our recruitment professionals. We will have conducted one or more virtual or in-person meeting(s), so we can be certain that they are well-qualified for your role.
Beyond a review of their "on-paper" qualifications and experience, we will uncover their motivations, aspirations, & expectations, to ascertain their suitability for, not just the position, but also the team culture and organization.
Once we’ve qualified the candidate(s), we'll compile for you a detailed synopsis of their experience, qualities and achievements; plus any additional items of interest that you won’t see on the resume. We simply want to ensure that we've given you enough insight as to why the individual is an ideal candidate.
We'll ensure that your "must haves" have been met, and share with you the "nice to have" qualifications.
After your meeting with them, we'll call the candidate(s) to gather their feedback about the interview; to see their level of interest in the role and company, and finally, if they want to move forward with the interview process. Once we have this information, we will communicate that to you and obtain your feedback on the interview as well.
We want to be certain that we've not missed the mark, and if we have, work tirelessly to rectify it immediately.
Once you have selected the successful candidate, OPAL can call and complete the work related and/or personal references, along with background investigations or educational verifications you may require.
We can also coordinate with the candidate, to have them complete any additional checks, evaluations, and/or documentation needed to fulfill your in-house/Human Resource processes and procedures.
OPAL can speak with the candidate to extend a verbal offer and can masterfully handle any negotiations pertaining to compensation, vacation, benefits, etc., as required. Once there is a written offer to be extended, we'll walk the candidate through it and answer questions they may have.
In many cases, candidates will also seek our help with how to give submit their notice of resignation, and even how to deal with counter offers.
OPAL will contact the candidate a few days before their start date, sharing with them what to expect on their first day. We will follow up the client and candidate after the first week to ensure that everything is going well, as we expect it to.
After 30 days, we'll connect with all parties to assess the placement situation again. We'll continue to be in contact throughout the first year as well, to ensure everyone continues to be content with the outcome of our recruitment efforts.
We know that no two recruitment mandates are ever the same. There are nuances, intricate details, and fundamental requirements that must be understood, accepted, and ingrained into every sourcing strategy we develop and execute. This approach to talent acquisition is exactly why the partnerships we have with our clients have proven fruitful and why our reputation in the recruitment industry is pristine.
We help companies and candidates connect!
