    Understanding Our Point of Difference

    The reality of the modern world is that Talent is becoming increasingly mobile.

    Effective recruitment becomes more about developing talent networks, managing relationships and adopting alternate search strategies. The traditional approach of publishing advertisements as a silo approach is statistically ineffective and costly.

    Astrum has developed a business model to address this changing environment and a number of key points of difference we believe sets us apart from the traditional, ‘transaction style’ consultancy offering.

    • Partnering is at the Core of our Business Model

      Non transactional + Results orientated

      The Astrum business model was designed from the start to better facilitate a partnering approach to recruitment, talent sourcing and management processes. This business model removes the need for us to focus on transactional recruitment like the larger and more traditional recruiters.

      We are predominantly dedicated to identifying solutions, driving innovative strategies and building strong candidate networks to deliver valuable results within a cost effective, service and results orientated framework.

      We genuinely partner and create an effective tailored solution to fit the specific needs of our clients and deliver cost effective results that are measureable.

      Our business is highly flexible with the freedom to develop and implement fresh innovative recruitment solutions quickly and effectively adapt to changing economic conditions, client expectations and highly mobile candidate markets.

      Every business has varying recruitment needs. Scalable and multi-disciplinary recruitment solution approaches are available that address the requirements of small to medium and large multi national organisations within a cost effective framework.

      Get closer to your ideal candidates

      Most organisations would agree that sourcing high calibre talent is one of the key challenges facing hiring managers today, together with the growing cost of inferior hiring practices and poor hiring decisions.

      Sourcing is the process of identifying suitable candidates through a variety of avenues. In today’s vast array of rapidly growing job sites and social networking sites, its no longer viable in most cases to rely on traditional advertisements, job expos, headhunting and word of mouth to find and attract ideal candidates.

      Astrum has invested in a dedicated team of experienced talent sourcing specialists and research professionals. They focus purely on sourcing of talent and development of innovative strategies to identify and attract quality ‘best fit’ talent for your organisation and build resource pipelines for skills, unique job roles or geographic locations.

      Our expertise and dedicated approach to sourcing is helping organisations attract a greater number of suitable and high calibre candidates and consistently manage the ongoing communication with qualified talent pipelines.

      The complexity of sourcing candidates is greatly reduced together with the lack of suitable candidates for immediate and future roles and time/cost taken to fill roles through traditional recruitment methods.

      At Astrum we understand that having the people without the process or having the process without the people delivers a sub-optimal outcome, so we pride ourselves on having both.

    • Candidate Care Program

      Satisfied candidates increases hiring success

      Consistent market feedback demonstrates that a significant percentage of candidates feel that they have been poorly managed during the job hunt and interviewing experience. Indeed many that are recruited express disappointment by the lack of attention from their new employer throughout their probationary period.

      Statistically the highest risk of turnover is likely to occur within the first 3 months of employment.

      Astrum’s Candidate Care Program provides a consistent engagement with candidates. Their career aspirations are explored, recorded and included in the talent mapping to role requirement process.

      We are actively involved in the on boarding process to help hiring managers successfully guide, manage and integrate new permanent and temporary employees into their business to ensure a successful placement and foster future candidates networks.

      We understand the need to provide an advanced level of interaction with national and international candidates, providing them with extensive information and candidate packs relating to location, living standards, accommodation and housing, education, community, culture, relocation and visa requirements to help the candidate and their family reach an informed decision and smooth transition to another employer and country.
