How We Work
Not only do we make sure our people are the right fit for our clients, but that we’re the right fit too. That’s why we offer two modes of working with our lead creative recruiter, Nic.
Here’s what you can expect from working with a creative recruiter on a retained basis:
Exclusivity
The client engages The People Place exclusively to fill a specific position. We work solely on the client’s search, committing time and resources to find the very best candidates for that role.
Flexible timeline
With a guarantee in place, we’re able to be more flexible with the timeline and prioritise this one placement, if need be.
Customised approach
We invest significant time into understanding the client’s needs, company culture, and the specific requirements of the position. This in-depth process results in higher-quality candidates.
Higher level of success
Working across one role in great detail allows us in-depth understanding of the client’s requirements – lowering staff churn, boosting retention, and streamlining the recruitment process through to onboarding and beyond.
Payment terms
The client pays a fee (or retainer) at the beginning of the search process. This payment acts as a guarantee that your creative recruiter will find the right candidate. We’re also open to negotiating a bespoke arrangement.
Here’s what working with a creative recruiter on a contingent basis involves:
Non-exclusivity
Multiple recruiters or recruitment agencies compete to fill the one job opening.
Payment on success
The client is charged at the end of the process, if and when one of our candidates is selected.
Rushed turnaround
Contingent jobs are often a race to fill the role and our creative recruiter will need to work fast to present options to the client. That can sometimes result in a less thorough vetting process.
Competition and business image
The speedy nature of contingent recruitment can dilute the client’s brand and create a sense of desperation.
Competitive nature
The best candidate for the job may be approached by several recruiters at the same time.
For the best outcome, we highly recommend partnering with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, on a retained basis. However, we’re always open to discussing the structure that works best for you.
Our Process
When it comes to finding good people for good places, our creative recruitment process leaves nothing to chance. We’re rigorous, curious, and committed to success – from day one and for the long run. Here’s a sneak peek at our process:
01
Initial consultation
We meet with our clients to discuss their needs, expectations, goals, and values. This ensures we find the right fit for the role and the culture.
05
Interview coordination
We understand that time is precious and hard to come by. That’s why we take care of coordinating interviews, scheduling meetings, collating feedback, and facilitating follow-ups.
02
Candidate sourcing
We source the best in the business through a wide range of channels. Of course, there are those on our books, but we also advertise and conduct executive and database searches.
06
Negotiation
We help both clients and candidates to negotiate offers, salary packages and more. Our process is fair and transparent and does away with any awkward conversations.
03
Candidate interview and screening
We get to know our candidates, as people and as professionals. It’s only once they’ve been thoroughly screened that we consider putting them forward for a role.
07
Onboarding support
We can assist with the onerous task of onboarding, and we always follow up with both clients and candidates to ensure both parties are satisfied.
04
Candidate presentation
We present clients with the most suitable candidate resumes, portfolios and interview notes. By putting in the legwork, we eliminate the guesswork.
All in all, our lead creative recruiter, Nic strives to connect high-calibre, creative people with their perfect role and build lasting relationships.
