Fforde uses a clearly defined Search and Selection process. This ensures that we source, research and select effectively, enabling clients to receive the best possible service from us. The process is easily tailored to individual clients needs:
Step 1: Client Meeting
This initial meeting allows Fforde to gain a thorough understanding of the client's requirements and enables us to determine the exact specifications of the assignment.
Step 2: Proposal
We will produce a proposal detailing all aspects of the assignment including our terms & conditions, timescales, costs and the process involved.
Step 3: Advertising
Fforde will plan the advertising in the most effective media and can offer a professional design & artwork service. Once the ads are placed we evaluate the response, assessing each candidate and continually analysing the campaign.
Step 4: Research
We will use our teams expertise to research potential candidates who we believe fit all the clients technical and cultural requirements.
Step 5: Fforde Interview
Candidates selected as a result of stages three and four are interviewed first by Fforde. We use personal, technical and behavioural interviewing techniques, combined with our understanding of the client to shortlist the most appropriate candidates.
Step 6: Shortlist
A shortlist of suitable candidates including detailed notes highlighting particular skills and attributes is then presented to the client.
Step 7: Client Interview
Fforde will arrange for client/candidate interviews to take place at a time and venue convenient for the client.
Step 8: The Offer
After the second interviews the client decides which candidate/s they wish to offer a position to and Fforde will manage the offer process on their behalf. We also provide an aftercare service on completion of the process with follow-up calls and meetings as appropriate.
