Services
Below is a brief description of what we do and how we do it. However, all our work is bespoke. Your business and set of circumstances are unique to you. So get in touch and we can arrange a meeting to talk things over…
Recruitment
lookout’s success in completing recruitment assignments is characterised by the following –
- Attention to detail at the briefing stage. Gaining an in-depth understanding of your business and its culture is a crucial part of the briefing process.
- Meeting and building relationships with your senior executives and hiring managers is also key. We also advise on the viability of your proposed reward package.
- All candidates are thoroughly screened and interviewed (in-person whenever possible) before they are shortlisted.
- We are an extension of your organisation, so treating candidates with the respect they deserve and managing their expectations are also key.
- With all of the above in mind, it is no surprise many of our candidates have subsequently become clients.
Psychometric Assessment
Recruitment interviews on their own, are unreliable and not a good predictor of future performance. Yet they remain an integral and important part of the hiring process.
Psychometric assessment brings objective evaluation to your hiring process and provides an independent measure of a candidate’s abilities, competencies, personality and motivation.
The lookout team has over 30 years’ experience in using psychometric instruments in a number of settings –
- recruitment
- management development
- career management
We use only the most established and thoroughly researched assessment tools with the appropriate levels of reliability and validity, and we will work closely with your leadership team to identify the right assessments for your requirements.
HR Management
Startups, Scaleups and smaller SMEs often do not have the resources in-house to deal with personnel issues and frequently have to react to problems after they have occurred.
The lookout team delivers proactive HR management that will enable your business to maximise the potential and retention of your staff without employing a full-time HR Manager.
Our team will work with you, either on a retained or project basis, across a range of personnel areas including:
- employee engagement and retention
- building and embedding culture
- organisational development
- HR compliance
- employment contracts
- grievance and disciplinary
- compensation and benefits
- performance management
