Services
Intake
This service is with us much more than the name suggests. It starts long before of Search exists. The basis of a successful procedure is formed by the intake. Structured interviews with the principal and staff involved give us a clear picture of the organization and the vacant position. The skills and personality of the man / woman we are looking for become very clear.
Only then the search starts.
Search
Potential candidates are, in majority, not actively looking for a new challenge. Therefore, we actively search for them.
In case of mutual interest, the active selection process starts.
Selection
Introductory meetings and structured behavioral interviews follow. Testing for personality and cognitive skills and an intensive Assessment Center can be part of the process. The process will lead to the delivery of a shortlist of 3 to 4 candidates, meeting all job requirements.
Final decision and Evaluation
We guide the client through to the final decision and then we follow the performance of the candidate in practice through a structured evaluation process.
CFR The Netherlands has a clear roadmap for all steps in the whole process.
