OCTANE'S EXECUTIVE SEARCH
CONSULTANCY SERVICE
THE SEARCH PROCESS
(HEADHUNTING)
Octane's consultants
are highly trained and have the in-depth
sector knowledge and recruitment experience
to give real top-quality advice to clients
and candidates alike. They are
otherwise known as headhunters.
Octane's consultants
carry out Searches for candidates that match
each client's defined and detailed brief
(candidate profile).

Octane seeks to work
with clients as true business partners;

Octane works closely
with both senior management and the

At the outset, Octane
invests time in gaining an in-depth
understanding of clients':
° business strategies
° goals
° problems and key issues
° people-resourcing needs
° culture and management style;
and

| •
|
Octane seeks to understand from clients the
career advantages and opportunities
they can offer to high calibre candidates
and to understand why people enjoy working
for the client.
|
From the entire national
pool of qualified individuals, Octane's
research team and consultants identify suitable
individuals that very closely match each client's required candidate profile.
| •
|
Octane is not an
agency. It does not keep a database
of people looking for a job.
|
| •
|
Octane's researchers
and consultants are constantly approaching
and identifying talented individuals.
|
Octane's consultants directly approach these suitable individuals
with a view to creating interest in the
client and the specific role opportunity.
Importantly, Octane's consultants
motivate and interest individuals who are
not actively looking.
Once interest is established,
Octane's consultants assess each individual's
suitability by using a thorough interview
process.
After these interviews,
the client is provided with a shortlist
of candidates (usually no more than 3 or
4), all of whom are well qualified and
extremely interested in being appointed
to the role.
The short-listed candidates
will then attend several stages of interview
with the client and may also participate
in psychometric testing.
Octane's clients and
candidates are treated with equal respect.
Headhunting, introducing top calibre
individuals and managing the recruitment
process requires a clear understanding of
the needs of all participants. Octane
treats all people in a strictly confidential
manner. Octane's consultants treat clients'
business information in the strictest of
confidence. Candidate details are
also held in the strictest of confidence.
Octane never sends a candidate's
details to a client without the candidate's
express approval. Octane insists that
its clients treat candidates with respect
at all times and also hold their details
in the strictest of confidence.
EVERY SEARCH IS UNIQUE
Once a client's brief
is fully understood, Octane is able to recommend
the best and most cost-effective Search
approach to reliably provide the required
outcome in terms of candidate quality and
timing. There may be several options.
Octane offers a flexible
service to suit each individual client and the technical needs of each unique Search.
Database / advertised selection agencies
'hopefully' provide the required recruitment
solution. Search does not rely
on chance.
