As the foundation of our network, professional integrity is paramount in our dealings with both applicants and clients. We offer far more than the standard level of recruiting services. Aquis has a number of unique characteristics that define us as one of the leading consultancies in Asia. We have developed a reputation for providing a professional service to our partners which has allowed us to build relationships that are unparalleled in the industries we serve. We are experts in our field and present timely and relevant information to aid our partners in the decision making process.
At Aquis we work in partnership with our applicants and are dedicated to bringing the best opportunities in the market to them. Our structured approach is designed to build lasting relationships, so that our applicants are able to make better informed career decisions. To do this our team is accessible and make themselves well acquainted with each individual's situation.
We provide a confidential service that includes:
We start building our relationship with an applicant before we discuss a possible move with them. Our process starts with an initial introduction and we only require an applicant's career history in-order to consider them for an opportunity. When we are given those details, any information provided by an applicant is confidential until they decide to release it to our clients.
If an applicant is interested in career advice we are happy to provide them with an assessment of the market and the current options available to them. This normally includes information such as salary advice. If an applicant is interested in pursuing a role, we will conduct an interview before we agree to approach our client on their behalf. We never forward our applicant's details to any third party without their express permission.
Once an approach has been made our applicants are kept regularly informed of their progress throughout the interview process. We act as an impartial intermediary between our applicants and our clients, and report factors that both parties feel will influence negotiations. Should an offer be made, our involvement depends entirely on the needs all parties involved.
At the end of the interview process our clients may ask for references to be taken. References normally focus on career history and compensation package, and we will take references from relevant parties if requested. In order to work sensitively with our applicants, in most cases reference checks are only pursued after an offer has been made, but before commencement of work. During all stages of the search, we keep in close contact with both the applicant and client to ensure that communications are effective and productive.
The success of Aquis Search rests on the performance of the applicants our clients hire and it is extremely important to us that we keep in touch with both parties following an individual's successful placement.
