Force

Recruiting

Recognizing that 80% of the talent pool constitutes passive seekers, G-Force has adopted a proprietary method for uncovering this oft-overlooked demographic. We are experts at locating individuals holding specific titles or managing particular functions in a target industry or firm. Time and time again, this process has uncovered the hidden gem, the candidate who falls outside the radar but whose skills and talent perfectly dovetail with the role. Not only does this process enable us to generate a pipeline of remarkable candidates that our clients are unlikely to access through other vendors or sourcing channels, it enables us to fill positions more rapidly - we can identify a high number of suitable candidates within a couple of weeks, while, on average, months are invested before generating suitable candidates through conventional sourcing techniques. In addition, G-Force employees attend job fares, networking events and specialty conferences and utilize a spectrum of on-line tools – from mainstream and niche job boards and networking portals to user groups, search engines, on-line directories and alumni sites. The firm has implemented a robust referral program, providing incentives to leverage our core relationships into an even larger candidate base.

Candidate evaluation relies mostly on instinct, a product of personal bias coupled with a comparison of the candidate’s experience in relation to the new role. Yet the selection process often leads to hiring under-performing employees.

At G-Force, we have developed expert knowledge, through primary and secondary research, regarding the qualities essential to a top performing employee. The results are surprising and surprisingly consistent. The greatest indicator of a candidate’s future performance is his/her past performance in a role that entails similar traits. Top performers will continue to be top performers, regardless of industry background, years experience, education or even skill set. Performance is a function of energy, talent and core traits/skills, with energy playing the most significant factor.

G-Force Recruiters understand the essential qualities inherent in a remarkable employee. We integrate this understanding into our interview process by formulating appropriate questions and probing a candidates past successes and securing critical feedback through background checks, when necessary. At the client’s request, we tech-screen our candidates and/or formulate in-depth essay questions particular to a role. We often recommend, to our clients, techniques to help eliminate bias and to elevate the selection process from guesswork to a science. We continue to track our candidates’ performance, 3 months, 6 months and a year later in order to continually evaluate and enhance our selection methodology.

Marketing an opportunity in order to attract candidates is often pared down to a conventional job description and salary incentives, while the factors most important to candidates are often emphasized only after the desired candidate is selected. In attempting to “close”, companies emphasize the value of the opportunity too late in the process, cheapening the position and leaving the candidates decision process to its own devices. Because a remarkable candidate can afford to be selective, G-Force integrates the marketing function into every stage of the recruiting process. We work with our clients to understand the true value proposition of a role, from growth potential and financial incentives to collaborative teamwork and we leverage those insights to formulate a description worthy of the opportunity. Meanwhile, we uncover candidate motives for exploring a career change and work with our clients to address them throughout the process. We are thus able to disqualify those candidates whose objectives cannot be met, before wasting our clients’ precious time, and to successfully close a candidate by anticipating obstacles, addressing them and accurately presenting the opportunity in a manner that best informs the candidate’s decision making process. Finally, our company adheres to a strict code of ethics which informs our methods and promotes fair practices at every level of the organization.
