PMF RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS

The Service

The objectives will be to identify, attract, and recruit individuals with the required range of skills and experience, supported by proven performance and the personal characteristics which will enable them to relate positively to the management style of the client company. The common theme is the requirement for a discerning approach to the selection for key appointments. PMF's portfolio covers: SENIOR EXECUTIVES; MANAGERS; SALES & TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS and ADMINISTRATORS operating throughout the whole spectrum of industry and commerce.

The Method

* The Briefing: Prior to any commitment being sought, an essential pre-requisite is a face to face meeting with the client for a frank exchange, which will determine:

An assessment of the functional and organisational need, resulting in an agreed Job Specification.
An assessment of the type of person best suited to succeed with the management style of the client company, with particular emphasis on skills; ability; proven achievement; and personal characteristics; resulting in a Person Specification.
The strategy for the conduct of the assignment, which will include either advertising, direct approach, or other agreed methods.
A timescale for the successful completion of the assignment.
The fee structure for the conduct of the assignment. This subject is discussed fully below.

* The Selection Process: Irrespective of the strategy adopted, the following stages of selection will apply:

Selection of candidates for interview.

Evaluations of candidates through in-depth interviews, psychometric assessment and testing of intellect.

The submission of detailed written reports in addition to comprehensive CV's, on each candidate selected for short-list with the client company Each report will include a photograph of the candidate and an exclusive section on personality assessment, and intellectual potential.

The Fee

The fee is negotiable to take account of different circumstances, but will represent a fixed price agreed before the commencement of the assignment. The fee will be payable in two stages.

Advance Fee: equivalent to one half of the negotiated fee, and payable at the commencement of the assignment. THE ADVANCE FEE IS REPAYABLE IN FULL to the client if PMF fails to submit candidates of an acceptable standard.

Completion Fee: equivalent to the balance of the negotiated fee, payable only when a candidate emanating from the external assignment, accepts an offer of employment.

Indemnity

In the event that an appointee either resigns, or is dismissed, within three calendar months of the commencement of employment, PMF will undertake to secure a replacement without further charge, providing the client has complied with the contractual terms in respect of the time scale for payment of fees.

PMF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS SOLUTIONS

PMF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS SOLUTIONS covers a wide range of employee-related issues which have, as a common feature, a disruptive effect within the organisation. The resolution of such matters often requires a sound working knowledge of the vast web of employment legislation and the ability to develop objective, practical, and cost-effective strategy.

Problems involving key or senior employees invariably constitute sensitive situations, not easily handled by close colleagues. The manner in which individual or collective cases are dealt with by the management is likely to prove at least as important to the morale of the workforce and the reputation of the company as the decisions themselves.

Peter Flood's experience, both as a senior executive and as a Human Resources Consultant, has equipped him to deal with the many facets of people management, including the following:

Employment Legislation Advice
Contracts of Employment
Misconduct
Disciplinary Et Grievance Procedures
Discrimination at Work
Harassment at Work
Transfer of Undertakings Regulations (TUPE)
Industrial Relations
Poor Performance
Redundancy - Policy, Strategy, Implementation
Unfair Dismissal Claims

The Fee

Fees are negotiable and will reflect the particular circumstances. The objective will be to achieve a cost-effective basis for resolving the situation satisfactorily. Whenever practical to do so, a fixed-price fee will be negotiated in advance, based on the perceived value of the contribution, not the actual duration of the exercise.
