Since the start of operations in 1993 Career Holdings has gained a very successful and really unbeatable track record in all types of talent supply. We service both foreign multinationals, joint ventures and significant local ventures alike. In no other business, perhaps, the fact that we are of local origin would be of such major importance. Our key advantage in recruitment stems from the fact that we are intimately acquainted with the conditions and requirements peculiar to our region. Our first-hand experience of operating within the local legal environment and our knowledge and understanding of the Central Asian cultures provides us with the capacity to meet the needs of our customers for the right people at the right cost and at the right time.
Our current Customer Startup Matrix:
Preliminary collection of information about the vacancy announced by a customer
Appointment of a recruitment consultant in charge
Commencement of the provision of services
The way we currently work:
We can assure you of a consistently high standard of recruitment if you consider the following:
our full understanding of local initiatives and peculiarities
substantial up to date experience in dealing with local and expatriate communities
our maintenance and enhancement of a worldwide network of contacts with such leading employment service organizations as Korn Ferry, Ward Howell, Spencer Stuart, Amrop, etc.
We continuously build our expertise in current recruitment practices and HR corporate strategy.
In order to obtain top quality and high-caliber candidates we utilize the strength and reliability of various search methods. They range from head-hunting for executive searches, to database, reference and media searches for specialists and professionals.
Before considering any candidate for potential employment, an exhaustive series of interviews is held with the applicant. That explains why out of more than 300 placements, only 5-7 candidates are considered professionally unsuitable for the long-term contracts with their respective companies. Very few of our competitors can demonstrate such an unquestionable quality of services provided.
Our system of candidate selection & appraisal includes:
1) As soon we received a confirmed job order from Customer we begin to do a number of thing including but not limited to:
every Customer gets a consultant, who is directly responsible to run search and selection project
this person aligns sourcing, reporting and feedback procedures with the Customer
2) Once the potential candidates are identified next steps include:
overall check of the candidate’s profile
check of availability criteria, including relocation potential
check and validation of expectations
check of the relevant candidate’s references
As the most recent innovation we well may consider providing our Customer with a record of our consultants interaction with potential candidate (this may be a video or DVD-based presentation).
3) In our practice strict search criteria usually confirm level of potential candidate knowledge and literacy. However we strongly recommend to our Customers to interface directly with the candidates to verify our own observations and opinions.
4) In case of a Customer intention to proceed with the candidate we may arrange them to pass specific tests and do a role-play as required by the job profile. However extensive testing is usually a matter of a separate agreement due to privacy issues and can be secured via our relationships with world leading personnel assessment firms such as SHL and A&DC (www.ADCltd.co.uk) and Psytech International (www.psytech.co.uk) .
