The
Global Technology Group was originally founded as a recruiting
agency. The most significant success and growth factor of our
company can be attributed to our recruiting practices. Currently,
we are operating at a turnover rate of about 15% compared to 33%
across our industry. Currently
the Global Technology Group attends job fairs on a regular basis.
In some cases our recruiting focus is on a certain hot skill
- in other cases, our recruiting focus is completely client
based.
Recruiting
Methodology:
Client
Position Requirement Specifics:
Detailed questioning of the hiring manager and/or supervisor for
job requirements and responsibilities. Specifics include experience
levels, technical background, communication requirements, travel
or overtime requirements and length of assignment.
Due to the demand on supply (i.e. skilled consultants) we also
will attempt to detail the job benefits. These include financial
compensation range, working hours (flex), working environment
(cubicle, conference room, from home), accessibility of company
and right to hire possibilities.
Position
Requirement Construction and Distribution:
Utilizing
the information we have acquired form the hiring manager, a detailed
job description is constructed and distributed. The requirement
contains the following:
Company
profile (Industry and Geographical location)
Job Requirements (Technical skills and MIS experience)
Standard Compensation (based on client rate)
Additional Compensation (paid vacation/sick/holidays days, performance
bonuses, recruiting and placement bonuses - paid by Global Technology
Group)
Screening
Response Phase
- The
Global Technology Group does not sell a candidate on a job.
- Skills
must match clients expectation and compensation must match consultants
expectation. If these two (2) important criteria are not met,
poor performance and/or turnover/termination are HIGHLY PROBABLE.
- The
Global Technology Group screens all resumes to requirement responses.
- If
a resume is not qualified, the candidate is contacted and either
redirected to another position or placed in a pending status.
All resumes are responded to.
The
resumes that are passed through first level screening, is then checked
for interest in the specific position over the phone. During this
phase of the process, compensation is discussed and a first level
communications interview takes place. If communication skills meet
the requirements of the job and a general compensation range is
agreed to, references are checked and the candidate is passed to
the technical interview phase.
Technical
Interview Phase:
- The
Global Technology Group utilizes consultant staff employees as
technical interviewers.
- Whenever
possible, we utilize technical interviewers currently on client
staff to perform the interview.
- Most
technical interviews generally take a very textbook approach with
most consultant agencies.
- The
Global Technology utilizes technical interviewers that are capable
of mixing text book and experience type questions.
Value
Added Interview Phase:
- The
Global Technology Group utilizes a member of the in-house management
team to perform a value added type of interview.
- All
Global Technology Group management personnel have MIS backgrounds
and Computer Science Degrees and/or backgrounds.
- During
this phase we determine if the candidate fits the client requirement
and environment.
We
examine a candidates work history for average length of stay and
reason for leaving all assignments. We interview for value
added traits such as above average pride in work, flexibility,
and ability to problem solve and deal with difficult situations.
Candidates
that passed this phase are forwarded to clients for further interviewing
and acceptance.
