Recruiting in Africa ?
The double expertise of the professions and the market places
Consisting of former professionals having either personal or professional experience of Africa, our team adds to it specialization by profession and industry, which is at the origin of the group's identity. As a consequence, our consultants are better able to master and overcome the constraints and the requirements specific to each African country for which they recruit.
An approach adapted to and within the context of conducting business in Africa
The specialization of the consultants and the knowledge of the markets in which they operate thus make it possible to offer our customers a unique value added service for:
- the definition of the job specifications and the profiles according to the possibilities and limits of the local and international labour market,
- the targeting and selection of the best candidates in respect of controlled time scales,
- the management of the negotiation/contract phase for which the expertise of the local constraints and expatriation issues is essential. Managing directly the assignment process with clients and candidates for each stage of the mission, our consultants play an essential counselling role to both parties and are committed to final success.
The recruitment process
The candidates that we select within the context of a recruitment mission, are at first contacted by telephone for a primary selection. If they match the requirements, they will be met and interviewed by the consultant in charge or the assignment.
During the individual meetings, the following elements are evaluated in an objective way: technical competencies, know-how, and in a more subjective way: behavioral competencies, personality, motivations, preferences... For the candidates who can refer to several experiences, the references of their last employers will enable to refine the recruitment.
The selected candidates are then presented to our client and a comprehensive debriefing is organised after the interview.
The chosen candidate will keep a close contact with the consultant during his trial period and throughout his first year within its new position.
