BLACK SPARROW RECRUITMENT STRATEGY CONSULTING

At Black Sparrow we help businesses to Attract, Hire & Retain talented people into their business.

We do this by developing & implementing a bespoke hiring & on boarding strategy, per client, so that they can be seen in a candidate driven market.

Our education & coaching programs aim to up-skill business owners & hiring managers in the art of the recruitment process, from crafting a compelling candidate advertising campaign, to developing a competency-based interview structure, right through to implementing an effective on-boarding process that paints the very best first impression from day one & supports the ongoing employment journey of your new employees.

Our three pillars for hiring success

ATTRACT

HIRE

RETAIN

PILLAR 1 - ATTRACTION

Crafting your message, your organisations WHY and communicating it effectively to the job market is the difference between attracting high calibre people who add value to your business, or hearing crickets in your inbox.

PILLAR #2: THE HIRING PROCESS

An interview needs to be planned, structures and well executed if you are to successfully convince a candidate to commit their future to you & your team.

Understanding what to say, how to say it & what to listen for will set you on the road to hiring success.

Crafting a well-planned onboarding & communication strategy for the first 90 days will set both yourself & your new hire on the road to retention success.

 

  • Developing your New Hires On-boarding Process

  • Planning your 1st 90 days of Employment for your New Hire

Done “With” You Services

Of course, there will be times when a business needs to outsource their hiring process to a recruiter or other 3rd party expert, we have you covered, but not in the traditional sense.

The recruitment market traditionally offers a done “FOR” you service, and all this requires is for the candidate to turn up & be interviewed. But what if interviewing is not your thing, you run the risk of frightening away good candidates, or even worse hiring a bad one.

Black Sparrows Done “WITH” You Service is just that, we focus on the right outcome & not another hired employee. To achieve this, we will work in partnership to design & then coach you through the interviewing process.

To be a truly “With” you service, we take it a step further and sit in with your candidate interview, supporting you through the actual interview & helping you with your interview assessment afterwards.

We see this as a truly outcome focused approach.
