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 recruitment process has been continuously developed and designed to meet the ever-changing needs of the public sector. 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.
A genuine commitment to Australian Government
We engage with all the sector's associations and peak bodies on a national basis and in every state. It allows us to continuously build our networks, regularly communicate with all major players and keep our finger on the pulse of industry changes and developments.
