Direct search
Our ever-changing world needs leaders who look to the future. Real leaders with the ability to strengthen organizations like no other. Authentic leaders who are not afraid of taking action, but who never lose sight of personal contact. These are the real leaders at Equipe. We select real leaders that strengthen your organization with the right experience, knowledge, and leadership qualities. Real leaders inspire, listen, and develop, focusing on people and results.
Our experienced consultants can access an extensive and up-to-date network that they and Equipe have carefully built up. They analyse the labour market and look beyond the obvious. They look beyond a person’s CV in search of the right personality and compatible drives. They keep on asking questions instead of accepting what people say at face value. Our strength is our people. They track down and select potential talent and get them excited about working for you. We strengthen organizations by looking at the bigger picture, and have been doing so for twenty years.
1. Direct/Network search
Based on the established profile, we first identify and approach potential candidates. This is done either through our expertise and experience or via our network of contacts. Obviously this is done in the strictest confidence. What is important to note here is that we know how to make the candidates enthusiastic about your organization.
2. Database search
We also approach many candidates from our large, up-to-date database. By continually investing in our database and following candidates in their careers, we know their strengths and weaknesses, ambitions, and management style. Because we feature strongly in interesting job openings, they want to make themselves known to us. We get to know new and promising candidates every day and continue to monitor them in their careers.
3. Promotions
In most cases, we also promote the vacancy on our website, in social media, and sometimes on job sites. At times, there may be specific reasons to promote a job opening in a daily newspaper or trade journal. In such a case, we integrate the advertisement in our approach and are happy to advise you on the right choice of media for the target group.
Our working method
1
Project plan
Dates, actions, and investments are recorded in a jointly agreed schedule. During a project, which lasts an average of four to seven weeks, Equipe takes all the work off your shoulders, after which you make a choice from the recommended candidates based on the interviews you conduct.
2
Environmental and job analysis
Equipe’s consultant will spend one or more morning or afternoon sessions with you to form a good impression of the working environment, context, and job profile. The culture, colleagues, and required personal profile will also be discussed. The information from this job analysis, along with a job and skills profile, will be used for the promotion and the organizational profile.
3
Vacancy information
We will prepare a comprehensive organizational profile containing all relevant information about the organization, position, job profile, and selection procedure and discuss this with you. Candidates use this document for their preparation, and the time schedule is also described in it.
4
In-depth interview
The organizational profile contributes towards proper preparation for the interview at Equipe. And that is necessary because our interviews dig deeper than most: during a session lasting up to two hours, our consultant gains a thorough understanding of a candidate’s capacities, wishes, and ambitions.
5
Confidential information
The personal data of candidates is saved and managed, completely in line with privacy legislation, only after explicit individual consent has been obtained.
6
Presentation of candidate
Anonymized candidates’ files are sent to a client only with the ‘prior knowledge and consent’ of the candidates concerned. Equipe is responsible for following up file details at the client and giving feedback to candidates. After selection, the consultant presents the details ‘on the table’ to the client.
7
Transparency of actions
During the presentation of candidates’ details, the client is given an overview of all actions that have been taken to arrive at the given result and insight into how the resources used have worked.
8
Support during the process
Both the client and candidate are given careful support during the process. Equipe coordinates the appointments and arranges for mutual feedback from the interviews at the client. If required, we can also sit in on selection interviews at the client. During finalization, we help broker the terms of employment so the last phase of the process also runs smoothly.
9
After-sales service
Intensive support is still provided after placement. Equipe, the candidate, and the client will be in contact at least five times: before the commencement of employment, on the date of commencement of employment, after two months, after six months, and lastly after one year. This support really contributes towards long-lasting cooperation between parties.
