SERVICES

SMC Executive focuses on mid-senior management level recruitment on both a permanent and contract basis. We employ a variety of talent identification and acquisition services, all of which are tailored to the requirements of each assignment.

Executive Search

Executive Search is a recruitment method generally used for senior executive or highly specialised positions where individuals are either difficult to find, not actively job seeking and/or unlikely to respond to a direct advertisement. This approach requires detailed industry knowledge and networks combined with strong research capability to comprehensively review the local and international candidate landscape and approach high calibre candidates directly and in a discreet manner. Consultants at SMC Executive are highly adept at executive search recruitment and employ a thorough assessment process ensuring core competencies are matched and cultures aligned.

Advertised Search & Selection

As the name suggests Advertised Search and Selection combines direct advertising (online and / or print) together with a more refined search process ensure appropriate market coverage in a defined timeframe. As with executive search it involves utilising our network to take informal views and opinions on suitable candidates in the market. We then combine this with utilising professional networking sites and online databases to identify and directly approach both active and passive candidates that will assist in broadening our reach.

Contingent Introductions

In addition to the abovementioned recruitment services, SMC Executive is on occasion engaged to work on non-exclusive recruitment assignments whereby we will source talented professionals through our network and from our extensive in-house database. We often meet jobseekers on a general basis and as a means of being proactive on the candidates’ behalf, as well as keeping our clients abreast of suitable talent in the market, we can facilitate informal introductions between clients and candidates which may in turn result in successful outcomes for both parties.

Organisations, particularly in the current economic environment, are continuing to evolve and transform. Interim Executive and Contract Recruitment allow companies to be nimble and quickly adapt to changing market conditions whilst also enabling flexibility with regard to project related work.
