FAQ - Recruitment Services
What does the MPS headhunting process consist of?
Right at the start of the headhunting process, we prepare a detailed job description together with the client and clarify what is expected of the person being sought and what requirements will be placed upon him or her. Using our business expertise, we can also view the formulation of the job description with an outsider's perspective.
MPS's headhunting process comprises extensive background work, interviews of applicants and personal evaluations, checking of references and a final report.
A cooperation analysis forms an essential part of the success of the assignment. In the cooperation analysis, we interview the applicant's nearest future subordinates and colleagues. In this way, we ensure the seamless compatibility of the chosen individual and the work community.
The best end result is achieved through regular contacts with all parties. The client always makes the final recruitment decision, and can utilise our know-how during the whole process from beginning to end.
How long does the process usually last?
The headhunting process lasts on average from two to three months. In addition to this, the time required by the selected individual to resign from his or her current position must also be taken into consideration. Depending on the situation, we can also agree on a faster schedule.
Why should I invest in a recruitment service?
Advertised Search is an excellent means of creating interest in an open position. The advertisement attracts individuals that are looking for new challenges, as well as people in working life who are not actively looking for a new job. Job advertisements alone are however not necessarily enough when looking for suitable persons. Successful recruitment — whether it is from amongst a few applicants or several hundred — requires the identification of the relevant competence and characteristics. It is a good idea to carry out recruitment properly at the first attempt, or one could be in for a long and expensive project.
One of MPS's strengths is extensive and continually updated business expertise. Thorough familiarity with the whole lifecycle of HR management ensures that our clients find the most suitable employees. Over 30 years of experience with the Finnish and international recruitment media is of use when placing the job advertisement in a media best suited for the position.
What are the benefits of looking for an employee together with a consulting company?
When an organisation co-operates with a reliable consulting company during their recruitment processes, it tells the applicants that the employer is serious and wants to invest in its employees. A well-known partner creates an image that the management is of high quality and increases the trust in a well-functioning recruitment process.
A recognised consulting company can even attract the applicants’ attention to the advertisement more effectively than an anonymous or unknown employer.
In the worst case, a failed recruitment can cost even hundreds of thousands of euros. The use of a skilled and professional consulting company often saves the client a large amount of money. A good partnership also makes the latest information on recruitment available to the client.
