Our aim is to assist you to source and select the best possible human resources for your specific business environment and organisational culture. To this end, our approach is both varied and thorough, and will depend upon the nature of the assignment and the availability of resources in that specific area.

Consistent with our approach of building long term partnerships with our clients, where your need for additional human resources is constant, we are able to provide you with on-site consultants, backed-up by the full Focus Group team, whose sole and dedicated function will be the satisfaction of your recruitment requirements.

AREAS OF RECRUITMENT SPECIALISATION

We are able to offer our clients both a permanent and temporary staffing service, across all functional specialisations, and at all levels of your organisation, from entry level trainees to senior executives, with particular emphasis on the following industry sectors and functional specialisations:

• Banking
• Financial, property and investment services
• Accounting and Financial Management
• Information Technology, Call Centre and Internet Services
• Telecommunications
• Media
• Retail and FMCG
• Sales and Marketing
• Healthcare and pharmaceuticals
• Tourism, leisure and hospitality
• Manufacturing and Mining

COMPLIANCE WITH THE L.R.A.

We operate on the premise that to request / source and refer information with regard to an applicant’s age, sex, medical history, criminal record, credit record and marital status is not, per se, contrary to the provisions of the Labour Relations and Employment Equity Acts. Rather, it is the use of this information by an employer to unfairly or unreasonably discriminate against a potential employee that is illegal.

We will therefore source and communicate such information to our clients if we are satisfied that they will not use that information to discriminate unreasonably against an applicant.

HEAD HUNTING POLICY

Our policy in this regard is clear. We have developed strong relationships with one or two well respected clients in each business sector, and once these relationships are established, our clients are given a formal undertaking that we will, under no circumstances, attempt to source candidates from their organisations. Those companies with whom we are in no way connected are then used as a source of potential applicants.
