YWA’s dedicated team does the entire search lifecycle, providing continuity and a dedicated point of contact. From the onset, we work closely with you to develop a clear conception of your values and business goals and help you determine your exact staffing needs. Based on our knowledge of your needs, we source those candidates who will exceed your expectations and fit your firm.

What follows is a brief outline of the work we do to provide you with the best possible candidates to choose from for any particular role.

1. Understanding your business

• Listen and evaluate your business and culture
• Take a detailed brief from you to determine your key needs and requirements
  
• Interact with you, gain feedback, ensure that our definitions are correct
  
• Develop a comprehensive search plan
  

For new clients, wherever possible we try to take the job order face to face, to establish a rapport and get a feel for the work environment and culture. If this will delay the start of the job search, we will take a brief via phone and begin our search, and can often have resumes ready for your perusal when the face to face visit occurs.

2. Sourcing Methods

Referral

Due to our positive reputation and long term relationships with clients and candidates alike, many of our best candidates are referred by people with an existing relationship with us, which gives us access to a large number of ‘passive candidates’ who may not otherwise be on the market.

Database

YWA has detailed information on over 50,000 workers stored in the database.
This database is a core resource in sourcing candidates for a particular role, as many candidates that have registered with us will not look ‘actively’ in advertising media, instead relying on us to inform them of suitable roles when they appear.

Advertising

Once we have taken a Job Order, we conduct an advertising campaign best suited to the particular manpower request.

YWA advertises specific jobs on a number of internet job sites, as well as on our own site, creating a broad spectrum of web advertising to cast as wide a net as possible.

We also engage in frequent advertising in newspaper with nationwide circulation to reach all potential candidates, even from the outlying provinces.

For graduate roles, we have utilized University websites and job boards, and YWA Recruitment itself retains a high profile in relevant industry journals and magazines.

3. Candidate Screening

• A Recruitment Specialist does a thorough review and career profile beyond the resume to determine if candidate has the overall fit to advance to our next review stage
  
• Verify candidate's technical expertise, salary expectations and marketable skills
  

4. Candidate Presentation

• Present candidate's information regarding technical expertise, interpersonal skill sets, and career aspirations either through CV sending
  
• Feedback is solicited in order to better understand the expectations of the position and organization

5. Job Placement and Follow Up

• Upon placement of candidates, YWA continues to add value to the client and candidate by providing post deployment services to ensure each party is fully satisfied, and to offer any additional assistance where it may be required.
  

We invest a substantial amount of our time in building relationships with our clients and candidates. We work with our clients as members of the same team; working together to find the most highly qualified candidates.

No-one will work harder than we will to get it right for you, to build value and facilitate your business’s continuous improvement through delivering the right people
