Multi-channel search

Polaris Headhunting normally use so-called Multi-channel searches, which means that we leave no stone unturned to find the right candidate for the position in question.

Many key persons are not actively seeking new employment and will not apply to traditional job adverts but, once we actually contact them, a good discussion can begin and we can gain their interest. On the other hand, others are actively searching for new jobs, which is why we normally also advertise on the Internet.

We work according to a well-tried and successful method, which, described briefly, consists of the following elements:

• Analysis of the client's business and requirements profile so as to establish which companies, or what type of company, may be of interest to analyse in the search. This also involves looking at "soft" values like corporate culture and social profiles to ensure not just formal competence but that the candidates will fit in and thrive in the environment offered.  

• Advertising on the Internet, our website and on the biggest job sites.

• Personal contact network. All Headhunters at Polaris Headhunting have their own professional careers within a number of different sectors behind them and, together with our many years of experience as Headhunters, we have got a large contact network, which usually result in direct contact with, or tips being passed on about, suitable candidates.

• Searching in CV databases. We use the market's biggest and best CV databases in order to increase the chances of finding the right person. 

• Psychometric analysis for our final candidates, primarily not as a selection tool but more as a way of further basing selection on candidates' personal profiles. Perhaps not all information emerged during the interview? In this case, this will give us an excellent opportunity to discuss all sorts of things in greater detail.  

• Checking references. Sometimes the client himself will take care of this but, just as often, we do it ourselves; in other words, it is optional.
