1. You need to fill a PR job.
But there’s more to it than that and that’s why we buddy up in business. We’ll want to hear about the immediate role but we’ll also challenge you to give us more insight into your structure and hiring needs.
A holistic understanding of your culture and brand is needed if we’re going to find you the right candidates. And we want you to see us as an extension of your team so if there’s ever little bumps in the road you won’t find us niggling over money or arguing over heresy.
3. Massaging the process.
If someone shows interest, we have to be careful not to be the pushy recruiter everybody knows and absolutely doesn’t love. There’s lots of discussions addressing queries and concerns before we meet candidates face-to-face. That is, if we’ve assessed that they have potential for your role.
4. Getting to know candidates.
We take quite a lot of time out of our days to meet with PR people. This speeds up the process for you and gives them a nice experience with us. We give them a full run down (pros & cons) of your offering and get an honest story on them too. If they’re happy and we’re happy, we start
a conversation with you.
5. CVs and profiling.
You’ll never get a CV that’s not accompanied by a comprehensive profile we’ve put together on the person’s personality, skills, experience, strengths and areas for development. We put time and thought into these meticulous evaluations to ensure everything’s as streamlined for you as possible.
7. Delicate negotiations.
It’s important to keep everyone’s interests at play to inspire a happy job offer. Our delicate management of the back and forth increases your chance of securing someone over the competition. It’s often a big decision for the individual and we do a lot of hand holding to ensure they make the right choice.
9. Your brand is a priority.
We indeed work tirelessly to make sure everyone has a terrific experience with your brand throughout the process. The PR market is very small so we want all candidates – whether they get the job or not – to talk positively about their dealings with you.
1. We know all about the job.
We’re pretty tight with our clients so we can really get into the nuts and bolts and challenges of roles. We know who’s going be a good fit because we’ve seen the office, we know the culture and we’re totally across how they work. And just because some people ask – no, our services don’t cost you a thing.
3. Buying you coffee.
At a time and place convenient to you, we’ll get to know you over caffeine. Tell us your hopes and dreams, skills and aspirations; we’ll delve into salary expectations and experience too. From here we can put together a thorough profile on you. The intricacy of detailing your strengths and weaknesses for the client means you’re never thrown into something you’re not ready for. It also increases your chances of securing an interview.
4. Back and forth.
There’s always plenty of bouncing between you and the client because they’re keen to hear all about top talent. We manage this process so it’s smooth, and make sure the scheduling of interviews isn’t a pain in anyone’s neck.
5. Interview prep.
Although the first interview is mostly about personality, we still make sure you go in ready to share the most relevant points of interest. The inside scoop we have on our clients allows you a better experience because we tailor prep to match their expectations. All this ultimately increases your chance of getting the job.
7. The job offer.
We totally get the enormity of the individual’s decision making here and make a conscious effort to apply zero pressure. It’s your future on the line, after all. Once the job is offered, this is your chance to ask us to confirm details and get final dialogue down. We want everyone to be happy.
9. Part of the Latte family.
We continue to look after our people because you are what make us.
Career guidance continues well after your start date; whether that’s one or twenty years down the track. We offer advice around promotions, salaries, sector changes and even help when you start looking for a job again. We’ll keep it totally confidential and look forward to restarting the process with you. So feel free to check in with us any time you want career advice.
