We've pulled together 10 years of thinking and development into the simple acronym STARS™, each letter summarising a different aspect of the recruitment process to ensure the right candidate gets the job. Within each aspect there can be several different steps, with each step leading towards pinpointing precisely the right person for the post.

Target

Targeting is primarily done through creative advertising campaigns in carefully selected channels, predominantly online.

High Growth creates distinctive advertisements for maximum impact, recognising that effective advertising is critically important to achieving the best results.

High Growth generates a lot of interest in most jobs, leading to an excellent pool of quality applicants, whilst positioning the employing company positively and truthfully.

Support

We support all newly appointed middle and senior level people with business coaching, typically for 3 months, and beyond if it is in the interests of the client and the new incumbent.

We work with the new employee to help them develop their own personal plan to ensure a smooth transition into the company, and then we provide them with the strategies they need so that they can stick to that plan. This is a standard part of High Growth Recruitment's services.

Specify

THE BRIEF

The first part of the process is aimed at getting the very best brief. High Growth firmly believes that the better the brief, the better the outcome, because if you really know what you’re looking for, you are much more likely to find it.

THE COMPANY

High Growth works with you to explore your company’s situation and culture.

THE POSITION

High Growth job descriptions are live documents that use active language. We look at accountabilities of the job, including staff, budget, internal and external contacts and the decision-making authority within the role. We define the skills, knowledge and experience being sought as well as the ideal personal characteristics.

High Growth can support your business to facilitate a culture change by focusing on candidates who have the requisite different characteristics and by coaching your existing personnel.

Assess

Screening conversations with the best applicants follow on from the structured sifting of each CV. Then High Growth brings together a small group of the top candidates and facilitates a Selection Day in front of the client.

The Selection Day comprises individual and group exercises and scenarios tailored to the position, and also generic exercises that demonstrate the thought processes and reactions of candidates who may have less experience in a particular field.

We do this to be able to match the aptitude, behaviour and motivation of the individual candidates to the company culture that they will be working in.

This Selection Day is led by the High Growth team with senior members of the recruiting company observing throughout.

Then, typically, three candidates will be invited for individual interviews to a special format developed by High Growth.

Recruit

We work with our clients, acting as the intermediary to determine how the offer for the chosen candidate should be structured, advising on salary levels and the benefits package relevant to the position.

We can handle the letter of offer for the candidate and ensure that this is received and understood, and explore any aspects that they wish to look at in more detail.

We can also arrange for a legal overview of the contract with an independent body.
