Our Recruitment Services
As professional recruiters we avoid a ‘cookie-cutter’ approach to servicing our clients. We understand the importance of tailoring solutions to ensure the best outcome from an ever-changing market. We work under a variety of engagement models as detailed below, or we tailor a combination of approaches to match both your short and longer term requirements.
Permanent
Permanent recruitment is core business to HorizonOne and our business model works exceptionally well for clients aiming at a long term solution. The majority of our candidates are seeking the ideal permanent position and our recruitment methodology focuses heavily on finding the ideal long term fit for clients and candidates.
Permanent - Exclusive Retained
By far the most effective way to work with recruitment consultants is on an exclusive basis. Although we are very effective ‘contingent’ recruiters, the ‘multiple-agency’ or contingent model is flawed as it results in diminished accountability. The contingent model forces recruiters towards a ‘numbers-game’ approach where they work the maximum number of jobs and interview the maximum number of candidates to hit sales targets. The more a recruiter works like this the more service levels drop and the more quality assurance goes out the window.
Exclusive recruitment produces superior results with a more extensive, dedicated service often at a significantly reduced fee! Ask us to show you how working this way produces superior results, while providing increased value for money.
Non-Ongoing Contracts (Government)
A popular way to cover our Government client’s temporary needs is through non-ongoing contracts. It is a very cost-effective way to source temporary staff quickly and efficiently. As a result of HorizonOne’s careful selection processes and strong subject matter expertise, many of our non-ongoing contractors go on to find ongoing work within the organisation.
This method also provides an excellent opportunity for both clients and candidates to ‘try before you buy’, through 3, 6 or 12 month initial contract periods. Non-ongoing contracts provide a fast and efficient way to fill a vacancy with the flexibility of a ‘way out’ if the fit is not ideal.
Hourly Rate Contracts
By far the fastest, most hassle-free way to resolve immediate vacancies is through hourly rate contractors. By working as a team, HorizonOne are able to deliver a fast, efficient solution for a wide range of temporary recruiting needs.
Independent Consultants/Contractors
Over time we have proactively developed an extensive network of independent contractors who work either through their own company or through recruitment agencies on a contract basis. By fostering these long term relationships and keeping in contact with this group of proven performers, we are able to offer our clients a holistic business service. Similar to a management consulting firm we analyse your business’s need and effectively match this need to a proven performer.
Our pool of contractors include ex-CFO’s of Commonwealth agencies, Systems Accountants (incl.SAP), Business analysts, EL1/EL2 level Financial & Management Accountants, Project Managers, Program managers, Procurement experts, Governance specialists to name a few.
