Our recruitment methodology

Broad networks, repeat candidates

• Our recruitment service begins well before our first contact with you through consistently building and maintaining extensive networks of A-list candidates
• Candidates are our lifeblood and we treat them accordingly. For our clients this translates to repeat, pre-vetted candidates and extensive referral networks
• We maintain strong relationships with recruiters in other states and New Zealand including through CareersMultilist - we have a substantial national reach

• We offer you a highly personalised service – we don't play the numbers game.
• We analyse your situation in-depth before we offer a solution
• We strive for greater understanding and more information in every process we are involved in
• We pride ourselves on taking detailed, comprehensive job orders

• Strategies to reach the right audience with minimal cost
• Professionally written, candidate-focused copy text (we don't just rehash your job spec)
• High quality 'look and feel' advertising templates

• Our leading-edge recruitment database combined with expertly organised and informative infrastructure means better communication and professional results

• Detailed, comprehensive reference reports for each placement as a screening measure, and to support effective management of that candidate into the future
• We use behavioural interviewing as the most valid technique to predict the future performance of our candidates
• We use behavioural profiling (MyProfile) to assist us in making a 'whole of person' evaluation when screening candidates

• Each placement is guaranteed, and we commit to ongoing 'follow-ups' to ensure candidates
• We continually review our performance through detailed feedback assessment processes for both clients and candidates

• Through the sharing of information between consultants and across teams, we develop a broad, in-depth and lasting understanding of your organisation
• The consultant who takes the job order also screens the candidates and manages the client relationship. This 'end-to-end' recruitment policy provides the highest level of client service and avoids negative outcomes resulting from 'Chinese whispers'
• We can be responsive and flexible to your needs without a reliance on one particular consultant
• Consultants build robust knowledge across a broad spectrum of client organisations improving their knowledge and understanding of their area of expertise
• Work is distributed evenly amongst the team to ensure we can maintain a high standard of service and avoid bottlenecks in service delivery

• Highly experienced principal consultants who manage workflow and quality assurance
• A shared bonus system across HorizonOne staff – when one of us wins, we all benefit
• Regular internal meetings to share knowledge of candidates, clients and jobs
• A leading-edge recruitment database which facilitates information-sharing and clear communication with clients and candidates
• Careful selection of HorizonOne staff committed to placing our client's needs first.
