IT&T – Permanent recruitment – The Milestone Difference
Our permanent recruitment offering is comprised of industry leading consultants who have extensive IT&T industry experience. Our consultants offer industry leading knowledge and deliver an insider’s perspective to both clients and candidates whilst seeking to demonstrate an innate and intuitive understanding of both candidates and clients needs, inside and out. It is an ability that can be gained only from extensive industry experience in the IT&T sectors. This allows Milestone to place consultants with the ideal background, attitude and approach in an above average time frame and at a standard always above expectations. Milestone’s selection model means that we target the most competent IT&T consultants in the marketplace so that our clients make only the very best and most successful strategic hire possible.
How is Milestone different?
We focus on developing long-term relationships based on mutual success. We help our clients identify, attract and recruit the highest calibre candidates in the marketplace by utilising a proactive selection model allowing our clients to engage individuals from a sector of the market they would otherwise remain unaware of.
Our success is attributed not to clever marketing but to a strong focus on “delivery” by seeking to proposition the very best candidates in the marketplace. Working like this ensures our clients receive the very best IT&T candidates available in the Australian market place . Likewise, by helping employers make a successful hire of a top performer in the IT&T domain, productivity is maximised due to a sense of purpose, a correct fit and above all, a mutually beneficial relationship.
Isn’t this how all agencies work?
No.
Your current partner most likely tries to find people for your business relying heavily on job boards, newspaper advertising and smart marketing. Statistically, only 21% of the potential market is actively looking for work using these resources. This means that by using another agency to find your people, you are actually limiting your business to less than one-eighth of your potential.
At Milestone we’ve identified that a major proportion of the market are not actively applying for jobs or using job boards. In response to this, we actively seek out people for your business from all areas of the market.
We’re aware there’s a very high chance the people that you need for your business fall into the 68% who are not actively seeking work, but are keeping their eyes open. Our specialty is identifying these people and facilitating their next career move into your business.
Why is this model better for you?
Our research proves that engaging candidates from the available 21% of candidates actively looking for work means a poor level of candidate. According to Microsoft, a top performer produces 73 times more output then a poor performer. Interestingly, almost 60% of candidates who are actively applying for jobs fall into the lower level of performance. By using agencies who use this model to attract staff you are extremely likely to engage someone from the poorest sector of the market.
At Milestone, our model is geared around finding you the best candidates. We do this by actively pursuing your next hire from a wider selection pool, significantly increasing the likelihood of a successful placement. To engage the best resource, we apply the following methodologies:
- administering our behavioral mapping tool to prospective candidates, providing you with insights into how they will lead, how they will approach and solve complex problems, what their emotional profile is likely to be and what motivates them to succeed;
- comparing candidates assessment results against our statistically validated indicators of success. These indicators are customised to reflect the specific requirements of a client’s organisational culture or position, and illustrate how closely each candidate fits the critical parameters of the position.
At Milestone, our combined mastery of the art of search and science-based methodologies leads to superior hiring decisions.
