Synopsis
Benchmark Recruitment is a company that is setting the benchmark for quality applicants in the Recruitment Industry. We strive to deliver the best possible service by only selecting candidates that match the specified Criteria.
Our name Benchmark Recruitment stands for the concept of always taking the next step once our best has been achieved as to reach the pinnacle of service excellence.
We are pioneering the way in recruitment with the structure that is guaranteed to produce suitably qualified applicants.
We have a database which at any time has approximately 15 000 candidates who are more than qualified in their occupation respectively. All our applicants go through a stringent selection process which includes four screening processes, the first get reviewed by a consultant who specializes in that certain industry, the CV then gets sent to the Divisional Coordinator who conducts a telephonic interview, once the applicant re sends his updated CV along with qualifications one of our Divisional Managers conducts a final interview and the applicant gets registered on our database.
Once we receive a job specification we search our database for suitable applicants who then go through a final criteria screening which involves matching the applicant to the needs of our client, two reference checks are done along with a criminal and ITC check and finally we verify the applicants qualifications. Through this process we can ensure that once a job specification has been received we can respond immediately with a suitable applicant and if we don't have that specific applicant on our database we have a 24 hour turn-around time whereby we will find the correct applicant.

Attraction of Candidates
Benchmark Recruitment utilises the following techniques in order to attract candidates:
Selective use is made of print media advertising as its effectiveness varies according to the job category.
We believe that search is a productive recruitment strategy and in some cases is the only way to successfully source candidates, particularly in the case of specialist and senior positions. Consequently Benchmark Recruitment has consultants who are experienced search consultants. We employ the following techniques:
Organised research and search
Networking on a referral basis
Benchmark Recruitment does not head hunt candidates from its client's organisations.
Benchmark Recruitment has, over the years, developed a confidential network with other agencies for the purpose of sharing candidate resources.
We pride ourselves on treating our candidates with dignity, providing regular feedback to candidates and personally declining candidates when necessary. Consequently, we have a high volume of referrals by past candidates of ours.
Screening of Candidates
Benchmark Recruitment utilises the following techniques in order to screen candidates:
Each consultant specialises in one or more job sectors. As a result the consultant who deals with your company will, if necessary, call on the assistance of another consultant during the screening process.
We utilise Competency Based Recruitment Techniques, resulting not only in minimising the risk of discrimination allegations, but also in the delivery of a more efficient and focused service to our clients.
Consultants are required to solicit from the client a detailed job specification. The job specification not only details the client's needs, but also focuses on the competencies required.
The candidate interview includes the following procedures:
Completion of a checklist and rating schedule of competencies.
Behavioural event interviewing.
The consultant who works with the client company always conducts the interview, but may (and frequently does) arrange for another consultant, who has expertise in the required areas, to conduct a further interview.
Testing is carried out in order to verify competencies that cannot be verified by other means. Such tests include, but are not limited to the following competencies:
Typing
Spread sheeting
Word processing
Visual Aid preparation
Accounting knowledge
Debt & Credit control
Debtors & Creditors control
Accounts reconciliation
Clerical
Prior to referral to the client all candidates are reference checked.
With the permission of the candidate, credit checks are carried out under the following circumstances:
Where it is a client requirement
Where the inherent features of the job require it (e.g. accounting positions)
