We forge long-standing & productive partnerships with organisations by applying engineering processes to our recruitment process through methods such as Requirements Capture, Gated Delivery & Learning From Experience (LFE). We have over 13 years combined experience in specialist STEM resource provision, so we are perfectly positioned to help you navigate this space. Without giving away all of our secrets, we wanted to outline some of the steps we take to optimise your hiring outcomes:
The devil is in the detail! Conducting detailed requirements capture processes with our clients gives us a clear understanding of your culture, values, and requirements. This enables us to write job specifications and create marketing materials to connect you with the most technically and culturally suited STEM professionals on time and within budget.
Our needs analysis process factors in the detail from the requirements capture phase to ensure that we are effectively screening and selecting the best possible STEM specialists for your role. Understanding the needs of the individual enables us to connect the individual with the organisations and opportunities which align best with their needs and vice versa.
We form strong connections with clients and candidates alike. By conducting a detailed requirements capture and needs analysis, we ensure expectations are managed and aligned throughout the process. We stay in regular, meaningful contact with all parties to maximise engagement and secure mutually beneficial outcomes.
We maintain engagement throughout lengthy onboarding and security clearance processes which can take upwards of six months. We check references, authorisations, site safety, & other key qualifications to ensure onboarding is expedited quickly & compliantly.
Having the right team in place takes time and is key to your long-term business success so maximising your staff retention is vital. We partner with you to provide advice, initiatives, and feedback to help you improve and maintain strong retention rates for the benefit of your team, your projects, and your organisation.
We analyse everything we do to optimise hiring outcomes and tailor our service around your requirements. We provide a range of insights, trends, and patterns based on real-time hiring data. We also share salary and rate information, market intelligence, and competitor analyses to inform your strategic planning, enhance your offering, and attract top talent.
We apply go/no-go decision checkpoints between each stage of the hiring process. This ensures quality control, reduces risk, improves consistency, and ensures that all criteria are met before committing further time and resources. We are well practiced in managing multi-stage interview processes understanding that clear, accurate and regular communication is key to optimising hiring outcomes.
Drawing on 13+ years operating within the STEM sector, STEM Connections was set up to link STEM professionals with organisations. We have several service levels to help you solve your resourcing challenges.
PARTNERING WITH ORGANISATIONS HANDLE ALL RECRUITMENT NEEDS
We partner with you to deliver your multi-layered long-term resourcing plans. Opting for an exclusive partnership offers numerous benefits over engaging with multiple agencies, primarily due to the depth of relationship, efficiency, and quality of hires. Outsourcing all of your recruitment to us on an exclusive basis means we prioritise your vacancies. They are subject to a deeper search & selection process as more pressure will be on us as you have entrusted us exclusively to deliver. It also removes duplications and saves your time by dealing with one point of contact rather than multiple agencies jostling for your time and attention.
