• Candidate Management
  • Build a suitable talent pool of candidates through thorough market mapping to enable you to present the highest calibre of talent to your client
  • Manage the candidate sourcing process and identify suitable candidates through screening in accordance with the client’s agreed requirements and service levels
  • Arrange interviews, prepare candidates for interview, and take client and candidate feedback
  • Maintain relationships with both registered and placed candidates including placement administration and aftercare.
