Need extra time to settle in? Budget not ready? Head count too high? Maternity leave coming up? Unsure what the future holds? Hiring a contractor with a view to Permanent is one way to solve these and other problems that arise. It also allows flexibility in the assessment period and extra time for settling in. When an organisation needs a person NOW, but are unable or unsure of putting them on permanently, O. U. Norman’s flexible system allows you use their services while still keeping within the budget and the letter of the law. Ask one of our Consultants to devise a plan tailored to your organisation's needs which may allow some of the fee paid while the employee is not permanent, to apply toward the permanent fee. Guidelines apply. Need a discount? O. U. Norman’s rates are flexible and several plans are available to enable clients to save on your Permanent and Contract recruitments. Ask one of our Consultants to explain the guidelines which allow discounts for on-time payments of fees along with : Short guarantee periods Special exclusive or semi-exclusive arrangements Client paid advertising or search campaigns for permanents Annual Full Service Agreements, including Contractors and Permanents Contractors on your payroll Other special arrangements suited to individual client's needs How does the Recruiting Campaign work? Each Recruitment Requisition generates a Recruitment Campaign. O. U. Norman firstly appoints a Consultant to co-ordinate the recruitment campaign. In most cases the Consultant will meet with the client at their convenience to determine their needs in detail. If it is early in the planning stage, the Consultant will be available to assist you with information regarding candidate availability, current market conditions, salary trends and other invaluable information which is the "stock in trade" of our consultants. When the requirement is specified (confirmed), the Consultant will alert the Support Staff at O. U. Norman for a complete search of our massive database of applicants, generated over many years of advertising campaigns. Applicants meeting the basic requirements are then contacted to determine precise suitability and availability. Regardless of whether the client requires a special client-paid ad campaign or not, O. U. Norman will include your position in its normal advertising in the most suitable media, at no charge to the client. All applicants are interviewed by the Consultant, in person if possible, on the phone if distance and circumstances so dictate, to determine suitability and to discuss with them the particular position. Only applicants who prove suitable and readily able to assume the responsibilities of the job are recommended for interview and final selection. AND Consultants are happy to be involved in any of the final selection details Special reference verification, almost anywhere in the world. Conferences with selectors to assist in short-listing and final choice. Negotiation, formal offers and documentation are all part of our service.
