In our projects, we emphasize:
As a boutique consultancy, we tailor all our work to meet specific demands. We differentiate our services for each business, crafting customized solutions and strategies to ensure goals are achieved with maximum effectiveness and precision.
Our briefing process prioritizes attentive listening with executives. This approach aims to foster a thorough understanding of the organizational culture, business context, and specific needs, thereby ensuring precise alignment with expectations.
In each project, we conduct a comprehensive market mapping, providing a complete view of the needs. Active engagement in hunting with target companies enhances our search for exceptional talent. The experience and robust connections of our partners enable us to understand the timing and aspirations of both the professional and the company, validate skills and competencies, and thus ensure alignment with the company’s organizational culture and the satisfaction of all involved parties in an extremely agile and effective manner.
We don’t seek professionals solely based on their technical profile. We aim to understand their goals and motivations. This approach allows us to align their expectations more effectively with the position the company offers, taking into account their values and culture.
Our management system transparently guides our hiring processes, facilitating feedback sharing at each stage. This practice is essential for reinforcing transparency in our operations, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity throughout every phase of our process.
We prioritize a holistic understanding of each individual’s life stage and an approach that extends beyond simply outlining alternatives and directions, aiming to empower professionals in managing their own development. To achieve optimal results, we employ a structured process consisting of five main stages, which include:
Defining Career Goals
In this stage, we aim to establish a clear vision of the individual’s professional objectives. This involves a detailed analysis of their personal and professional background, alongside considerations of their current life and career circumstances.
Self-Assessment
In this stage, we focus on identifying strengths to be leveraged and challenges to be addressed. We utilize tools such as the 360º questionnaire, which incorporates feedback from colleagues and analyzes individual competencies, values, and preferences.
Detailing Options, Decision-Making, and Planning
In this phase, we consolidate the identified career alternatives and develop a detailed action plan for the short, medium, and long term. We conduct comprehensive research on the opportunities identified earlier and define the necessary requirements for each one.
Execution
The focus now is to put the plan into action. This involves reviewing the resume, LinkedIn profile, and enhancing interview skills to ensure an effective approach to achieving career goals.
Managing the Job Search Process
We recognize that looking for a new job is a job in itself and requires proper management. In this stage, we focus on ensuring the effectiveness of the approaches. We plan 5 to 6 meetings, offering suggestions for preparation, research, and reflection activities to optimize the process
