Our unique approach
A proven track record of providing sustainable results for client over the last 12 years has positioned Mindocr as an industry leader. Our brand is well known and respected for working with top of category executives, providing us with a unique ability to attract extraordinary talent. Through expert balanced consultation we are committed to enabling our clients to achieve their objectives with sustainable talent solutions, and our candidates with opportunities that reflect their own life, career and job objectives. We have always been just as focused on our candidates as we are on our clients - this has provided us with an ability to ensure quick service delivery.
Over the past few years we have complemented our efforts by aggressively courting ambitious senior executive talent across South Africa through our very successful 'Extraordinary' promotional campaign. This campaign has dramatically added to our already impressive network of top executives.
Unsurpassed local knowledge of senior executive talent (across all sectors and demographics) in South Africa together with our unique delivery model, a best in class IT support system (called mindtracker) and unique guarantee on the service we provide has defined a unique approach.
Define, Search, Select and Support
A unique delivery model (Define, Search, Select and Support) that places an emphasis on the upfront definition ensures that we find candidates with a long term sustainable fit
Our professional service is unique in the field of executive search and ensures a greater level of certainty in the appointment of a successful leader. It starts by listening more and offering value both before and after the Search and Selection process through using a management consultancy approach; Success in senior appointments is more about fit rather than ability alone. A candidate's experience and competence, whilst being necessary barriers to entry, are insufficient to ensure long term success on their own.
Ensuring an outcome that has considered both ability and fit requires an engagement upfront and the right support post-appointment. We offer both.
The 'define' process is invaluable in more challenging assignments. The deeper understanding of your organisation that results from the process allows us to not only ensure a better "fit" but also to better market your organisation to the right candidate. The Mindcor approach starts with a series of interviews of existing shareholders, directors and managers, as appropriate to the position under consideration. We find that our consultants, who are well versed in business, are able to ask the right probing questions and provide relevant insight allowing clients to carefully consider their real "needs", as opposed to an initial "want".
The process starts with a number of open questions and then moves on to a structured debate, the outputs are collated into a report that makes use of a proven technology enabling clients to consider the following areas of their business:
- An understanding of the game plan (Strategy)
- Organisational culture
- How performance will be achieved, and the miletsones along the road to success
- Underpinning information systems
- Key competencies
- Organisational structure
- How work is done (Process)
- Facilities and infrastructure
- Equipment
- Knowledge management
- Systems
- Business environment / customer engagement
We then offer a thorough evaluation of the organisation by reviewing the above mentioned inter-related components, enabling a better definition of how the candidate will be expected to contribute, align with the organisation and succeed.
