Recruitment Process

Octagon is committed to making your recruiting process efficient, effective, and successful. Here’s how we work to bring the best people to you in the shortest time possible:

Search – With a clear profile of your ideal candidate, Octagon begins by searching our database. We first contact people in our professional network and online to find the perfect match. We always keep in mind your company culture so we only contact candidates who would be a good fit there.

Screening – Octagon contacts the most suitable candidates to determine their interest and availability. As we are contracted by you, we will always keep your interests in mind when presenting the position. When speaking to candidates looking for a career transition, we determine their level of motivation and interest in the opportunity. We assess carefully every candidate's skill sets, professional background, personality traits and compensation requirements, all without revealing the name of your firm.

Presentation of candidates – After internal discussion and extensive candidate profiling, Octagon e-mails you only those profiles most suited for your company.

Interviews – After you select the candidates you want to meet, Octagon schedules interviews and initiates reference checks.

Salary negotiation – When you've decided upon a candidate, Octagon will assist in the negotiation process. We help you offer a package that is both market competitive and fair to you.

Contracting – Some clients want to hire candidates as direct employees under the management of their own Human Resource department. In many cases, Octagon is the employer of record and will handle all payroll and benefits issues. We will support your preference - either for direct or contracted hire - and draw up all necessary contracts or agreements for your approval.
