With any consulting assignment, but particularly with an executive recruitment project, reliable and timely communication is fundamental to project success. At key points during the assignment, CBE consultants will communicate by phone, e-mail, or in person, with appropriate leaders from your organization to discuss the progress of the recruitment and to review subsequent steps in the recruitment process. These regular status reports are important to ensure success with the recruitment assignment.
We pride ourselves in the fact that we bring a high level of personal commitment to everything that we do. We get to know our clients – their concerns for success, their strategic goals and their organizational culture. But our intense professional commitment does not stop with our clients.
We provide specialized solutions for identification and placement of talents throughout organizations:
- Head Hunting
- Competency Based interview
- Psychometric tests
- Knowledge and ability Tests
- Reference Check
Please note that we generally check at least five (5) to eight (8) telephone references on finalists including immediate superiors, colleagues, staff reporting to the candidates, and significant others who can provide other specific information warranted or suggested. We also complete a thorough background check (education, certification/licenses, criminal, and media) on the finalist(s).
We will bill you monthly at cost for direct expenses (as noted above) necessary to successfully complete the search. These costs will be advanced by CBE Southern Africa. We would appreciate reimbursement by the your organization at the presentation of receipts and an itemized statement.
As noted, reimbursement of candidates’ interview expenses with you will be your responsibility, and we will arrange to have these expenses submitted to you for direct payment.
