5 Success Through Change Recruitment and Selection Outplacement Consultancy Professional support to help you fill key positions When it comes to recruiting and selecting candidates for high-level decision-making positions or for positions in which the appointee is likely to have a high public exposure, our recruitment and selection process ensures the best possible outcome. We provide support throughout the recruitment and selection process, or for separate parts of it, depending on your company s specific needs. We can perform the analysis of the company and the position, formulate the requirements profile, draw up the advertisement, inform suitable candidates about the procedure and attend to any administrative concerns. We conduct job interviews in cooperation with your company s policy-makers and propose candidates who we feel should undergo an individual assessment to evaluate their chances of success in the target position. A comparative analysis of the requirements profile and assessment results is designed to minimise the risks of an unsuitable decision on the appointment. Finally, we provide support in preparing an introduction and training programme for the selected candidate. It is not our policy to approach people who might be interested in a position, and we do not maintain a database of candidates. Re-orientation after termination Mastering the transition Outplacement consultancy addresses job-seekers who are looking for a new direction in their career when facing the prospect of impeding redundancy or after having been given notice. In this between jobs phase we provide assistance by means of a structured, flexible and comprehensive set of procedures in all aspects that are relevant to the job-seeking process, at both the professional and personal levels. Outplacement consultancy is delivered in four phases which can be weighted according to the distinct needs of each individual. The focus is on providing supportive measures which encourage job seekers to professionally master the job-hunting process and to skilfully navigate the job market. The initial step in outplacement consultancy is to define an individual s current status. In the following step, core competences, preferences, strengths and weaknesses are all identified as part of an evaluation of the individual s potential. The third step involves a personal reorganisation which leads to the fourth and last step, i.e. the actual outplacement and the practical approach to job finding. This includes preparing a solid application dossier and practising job interviews as well as activating one s network and other prospective channels.

6 Fulfilling Objectives, Together Team Development Management Development / Training Effective and successful teamwork Well-working teams are an essential prerequisite for top performance. Good teams that work well together are also the foundation for motivated and satisfied staff. Effective teamwork is an advantage for all concerned, both inside and outside the company, including clients. One goal of team development is to ensure that individual team members maintain a solid grasp of the common tasks to be performed, and that they approach them with dedication and a sense of responsibility, putting their individual abilities and resources to the best use. In a team development process, the participants learn to continually and critically monitor the way they work together as well as to cooperate in an effective and constructive manner. Reciprocal feedback is a key element in this process as it contributes substantially to the development of the team and to enhancing the social competence of all its members. Leading with competence and solid craftsmanship Managers often have to operate in the midst of conflicting priorities such as achieving company goals, fulfilling client requirements and responding to staff needs. They are also required to work in a complex environment and to deal with integration difficulties, resource limitations and ongoing change. Many promising managers leave their organisation because they feel that they lack support and encouragement. A solid and targeted management development programme helps to balance the abilities and competences of managers with the increasing demands of their job. Together with you, we draw up (future) requirements regarding your company s managers. Subsequently, we establish the instruments you need for assessing potential and for defining appropriate measures for the further development of management competences. We offer customised team development programmes based on clearly defined objectives. With our professional guidance, the team enhancement process is targeted and result-oriented. Our programmes comprise a comprehensive selection of services and can be implemented as a full package or as complementary measures, depending on the requirements and needs of your company. In addition to assessments and development centers for the evaluation of current status, we can provide customised and practice-oriented training and support services.
