Experienced Consultants who speak your language and understand your business
All McArthur Executive consultants come from roles within specific industry sectors or have extensive Executive Search and Selection experience or in many cases both. They know your day-to-day business challenges, legislative, technical and practical requirements. In other words, they speak your language allowing them to deliver quick and quality solutions.
For every Executive recruitment challenge, we combine individual experience and insight with proven methodologies and processes that have the flexibility to be tailored to any requirement.
Tailored, streamlined processes without compromising quality
Although McArthur has successfully undertaken hundreds of previous appointments, it is critical for us to recognise that each appointment is unique. Our executive search process has been continuously developed and designed to meet the ever-changing needs of Executive recruitment. However, our aim is always the same - to maximise efficiency, minimise risk and ensure quality.
Scope
The initial briefing session is the most critical part of the process as it allows us to sit with you and build an in-depth understanding of the technical experience, and more importantly, the personal characteristics of the individual you are looking to hire.
Source
Appropriate candidates are discreetly sourced via networking, general interviewing, data base and network trawls, and simple but profound market place knowledge. Our National Client Relationship Management System allows us to build a map of relevant candidates for consideration.
Screen
Once the candidate’s interest is engaged, a professional assessment of suitability is established through behavioural based interviewing reflecting on past relevant performance. We also utilise Psychological Assessment, Video Interviewing and in-depth Reference Checking to ensure the shortlist is a 100% reflection of a client's recruitment and business needs.
Select
Once a suitable candidate has been identified McArthur works with the client (if required) to facilitate negotiations on an appropriate remuneration package. Notification to unsuccessful candidates and a comprehensive report are final stages of the process.
Minimise risk. Maximise quality.
To ensure the highest quality of candidate and to minimise the recruitment risk, McArthur utilises a range of industry leading interviewing and assessment technologies, in addition to comprehensive referencing and checking initiatives.
