Mindset will work with you to source and attract the best talent for your organisation, work with you to retain your valuable employees and build a long lasting performance culture.

 

recruitment and selection

Mindset charges competitive fees for its HR recruitment services. Our thorough approach ensures you get the right person for your needs. A typical process involves the following stages:

 

  1. Organisational & Role analysis: so we understand your business, the environment and the role.
  2. Sourcing Strategy: which can incorporate search/and or advertising or other methods.
  3. Response Handling: We use technology to streamline  processes to ensure candidates are handled professionally and kept informed.
  4. Shortlist: Shortlisted candidates will be presented to the client including comprehensive consultant feedback. After the you have met the candidates, each of the short listed candidates will be invited to complete a full assessment.
  5. Reference checking: This is conducted with at least three previous employers (if possible) and is carried out to ensure that the profile that has been determined through interview and assessment is indeed correct.
  6. Recommendation and report: This is presented on the recommended candidate(s).
  7. Final  Interview: Arranged by Mindset, this may involve role plays, scenarios and presentations.
  8. Job Offer, Salary and Contractual Negotiations: Mindset can assist with this function as required.
  9. Induction discussions: These are held prior to the candidate commencing work to ensure that they can start to make an impact as soon as possible.
  10. Follow up: Successful candidates are followed-up over the first twelve months to ensure their transition into the client organisation is as effective and efficient as possible, and the candidate's productivity is maximised.
Note:  Executive Placements: This extension to the above recruitment and selection process includes a tailored personal development program utilising information gained during the employment process. This investment can be of great value in the employees first six months which are often the most challenging.

recruitment process outsourcing

A smart way to reduce HR recruitment fees is to outsource the whole process to Mindset. We offer a complete solution to your sourcing and selection challenges. Combining our Talent Mapping, Targeted Search, use of Social Networking and Advertising, we create an integrated approach to candidate sourcing.

Replace recruitment fees with management fees and immediately improve your bottom line, improve candidate quality and consistency and free up management time.

talent mapping

If you’ve found traditional recruitment methods aren’t as effective as you'd like, and agency fees are too expensive, Talent Mapping could be your next recruitment strategy. Talent Mapping is the proactive identification of potential candidates in your market. This approach to sourcing will provide you with high quality candidates mapped to your critical roles; just like an external succession plan.

Taking a long term view, Mindset locates, engages and nurtures critical talent for the future success of your organisation. We also work to develop your Employer Brand, or Employer Value Proposition (EVP), whilst gaining information from your competitors on their employee value proposition. With a competitive cost model spread across the term of the engagement, Talent Mapping reduces the spikes in cash flow from expensive recruitment fees and offers an effective well researched candidate pipeline.

targeted search

The abundance of job advertising has resulted in fewer and lower quality responses for certain roles. The time it takes to fill some roles is taking longer and the quality of candidates questionable. A targeted search will yield candidates who are a closer match to your ideal profile. Mindset researchers are experienced in many industries and adept at getting through gatekeepers and identifying your next high performer.

selection

If you are managing the recruitment process yourself, Mindset can help you with the final candidate selection to give you confidence you are making the right decision. The Mindset selection process includes a review of the position to create a High Performance Role Definition, staged interview process, psychometric benchmarks and testing.


outplacement

In today’s economic environment it is often necessary to release valued employees from their obligations. This can be as a result of restructurings, a downturn in business, merger or acquisitions.

This is a tough time for Managers;
  • How do you do the right thing by a loyal employee when there is no longer any work for them?
  • What are your legal obligations?
  • What is the company’s moral ‘duty of care’ to these loyal and trusted employees?
Mindset's Outplacement programs do not find displaced employees jobs. Rather, they help displaced employees prepare to re-enter the job market. This can be daunting after many years of steady employment and often self-confidence can be damaged as a result of the termination.

For the employee:

  • Provides insight into strengths and weaknesses
  • Assists in the preparation of a CV that focuses on their strengths in relation to the roles being applied for
  • Assists them to market themselves
  • Perform better in interviews
  • Support to build self-confidence
  • Provision of a sounding board or counselor to bounce ideas off

For the company:

  • Demonstrates to remaining staff that the Company does care for their employees thus helping to restore individual confidence and motivation
  •  Demonstrates proactive Industrial Relations approach
  • Public demonstration of the company’s social conscience

Comments from past Mindset Outplacement Candidates:

"Just a short note to let you know that I accepted a job offer from a company in Port Melbourne-4.5 months contract commencing on 15/1/2004-payroll for 220 people, Accounts Payable and all ad hoc reports. I am very happy to be able to work again, have new experience to add to my resume and meet new people. Thank you very much for your gentle coaching , your useful advice and your reassuring calls-without your help I wouldn't be where I am now and I guess I should thank my former employer as well."

"In the past few months, I have had the services of Mindset in regards to searching and securing employment within the current economic environment. I found their advice and guidance very useful and would highly recommend their service to others."
