Richseed as Recruiters

Our Recruitment Strategy
With this service, we exhibit our prowess as great recruiters to our clients while serving as great career consultants to our applicants at all levels. As professional recruiters we have learnt to make value our priority by undertaking a unique procedure in attracting the best candidates for our clients at their preset budget.

Our unique five–step procedure for recruiting is as follows:


Taking the assignment.

To ensure that we don't exclude the best people from consideration, we convert job descriptions into career opportunities. We develop what we call "performance profiles." This helps us to pick candidates that are not only passionate but also goal-driven rather than restricting ourselves to the skills and experience of the candidates.

We also use the performance profiles to challenge our candidates to take jobs not just for the money but for job stretch and career prospects.


Candidate sourcing

At Richseed Consulting we understand the need to attract top people for our clients. Therefore we employ the best recruitment practices to ensure that all competent active and passive candidates get interested in our job offers.

For Active candidate sourcing, some of the practices we employ are; maximizing the effectiveness of job boards, aggregators, job posting management systems, web analytics, and applicant tracking system. This is in addition to active candidates we have on our applicants’ database

We also locate eligible passive candidates from our referral list, cold calling and database searches. No matter the needs of our clients we find a way to meet it.



Testing and general assessment

For mass recruitments especially for entry level graduates, we carry out special tests to pre-screen candidates. The extent to which we go in doing this is determined by the needs of our clients.



Using Interview to assess competency and create opportunities.


Most recruiters use the interviews to assess competence. But our team goes a step further by assessing other objectives that are even more important than competence. With the aid of the performance profile for the job position we are able to assess the candidates for areas of job growth for the purpose of diverting the attention of top candidates from compensation to opportunity. One of our roles is to present our client company as an exceptional opportunity in the minds of our clients to climb up the career ladder.



Negotiating Offers

Sometimes good candidates may be discouraged from accepting job offers based on the nature of compensation but we use our advanced negotiation techniques to convince them to take the job.

We also have occasions where good candidates are turned down due to poor interviewing skills. In such cases we offer a proper analysis of the candidate to portray enough evidence of his success in similar job positions in the past.

At the end of the day, all our clients get good value for their money by attracting the best employees no matter the size of their personnel budgets.
