Permanent Recruitment:

We understand that it can be challenging to choose the right permanent employee to meet your organisations objectives and to fit in with the culture of your business. Pacific Personnel's role in recruiting your staff involves a lot more than simply sourcing candidates to carry out your role. There needs to be a strong match between our clients requirements and the attitudes and behaviour of our candidates. We screen each candidate thoroughly to ensure the right fit between your role and the candidate in order to meet those requirements. We undertake a rigorous process to ensure that we are able to present you with a shortlist of potential employees who are the 'best fit' to meet your individual needs.

Our methodolgy includes the following:

  • Briefing and Preparation
  • Advertising and Attraction
  • Preliminary Screening
  • Behavioural Interviewing
  • Testing and Assessment
  • Reference and Background Checking
  • Shortlisting and Selection
  • Final Interviews and Offer

Briefing and Preparation - Pacific Personnel's staff take the time to work with our clients to fully understand the workplace culture, the organisational structure, and the objectives of the role and the organisation. This process allows us to effectively identify pre-qualified candidates from Pacific Personnel's extensive internal data base and to develop effective advertising strategies to attract a broader pool of candidates to your role.

Advertising and Attraction - Pacific Personnel's strategies to attract and source candidates take many forms. These include advertising via the internet and print media, referrals, networking, targeting industry specific publications and websites. The strategies adopted enable us to 'tap into' the passive candidate market. This ultimately allows us to present an outstanding shortlist of candidates to our clients.

Preliminary Screening - Pacific Personnel's preliminary screening process involves a thorough review of the candidates application and a telephone screening interview, addressing the basic competencies of the individual with the respect to the individual role. This process also gives the candidate an opportunity to match their expectations and objectives with the advertised role and to form a shortlist of candidates to interview.

Behavioural Interviewing - A behavioural interview is conducted with each shortlisted candidate to assess their suitability against the pre-determined competencies required to undertake the role. Behavoural interviewing allows us to better understand the attitude and motivation of the candidate, rather than just verifying the accuracy of their resume.

Testing and Assessment - The essential first step in any recruiting process is to ensure that skills match the job description to ensure that the candidate can do the job. Pacific Personnel has a vast battery of tests and assessments for permanent roles. The assessments utilised are tailored to the competencies required in each individual role.

Reference and Background Checking - Pacific Personnel undertakes two reference checks for each candidate. Our reference checking process is behavioural-based and expands on strengths and weaknesses identified in the testing and assessment process. Police checks and medical checks are undertaken when required by our clients.

Shortlisting and Selection - Based on the interviewing and assessment process, Pacific Personnel will present a short-list of the best candidates in a face to face meeting with our client. Through discussion, our clients are then able to make a decision on who they would like to interview.

Final Interviews and Offer - Pacific Personnel will facilitate the interview between the client and the shorlisted candidates at either our clients venue or our own. Shortlisted candidates will be fully briefed on the expectations of the role and the organisation prior to being interviewed by our client. Pacific Personnel will facilitate the offer of employment and candidate's acceptance and confirm the start date.  Post placement follow up will be undertaken with both our client and candidate.
