“If you want to start something new, you have to stop doing something old.”

Peter F. Drucker

​

Growing disillusioned with the prevalent recruitment agency experience, Stratum deconstructed traditional recruiter processes to reveal their intrinsic flaws. Now released from these constraints, we reimagined a new approach centred on integrity, creativity, innovation and elucidation.

​

What We Do - Our Service:

📽Video Outreach:

We create contemporary short-form vertical videos that showcase your company’s culture and opportunities. These standout videos, delivered straight into the palm of your target candidates, reach out in a highly personal and targeted way. Elevating how the industry's top talent perceives your company, its culture, and opportunity. A quantum leap from traditional text-based job description.

​

🤖AI-Driven Candidate Search:

Leveraging AI technology that sifts countless profiles to identify exceptional candidates. It doesn’t just identify active jobseekers but those top candidates excelling in their roles and not always looking for a new job. Embracing AI systems allows us to essentially provide a full search function – a service once only reserved for Executive Search Firms.

🛡 Risk Mitigation:

Our approach not only produces better candidates but longer-lasting hires. Guaranteed by a one-year rebate that gives up to 75% credit if the hired candidate leaves within the first 12 months - far surpassing the industry norm of just a few weeks.

💰Affordable and Flexible:

Our services are competitively priced, with a staggered payment plan where you only pay more once you've secured your ideal candidate.

🏆 Proven Success Rate:

Our unique blend of video marketing and AI-driven search has a 100% success rate in filling our clients’ vacancies. We're happy to share case studies that illustrate our success.

Our Process

​

1. The Role

Agree competencies, responsibilities, and required industry experience. We will agree the timelines, scope, scale and parameters of the search, including target companies, off-limits, and maybe most importantly, your business’ Employee Value Proposition (which we can help you with), to take a clear and exciting message to the market.

2. Research, Mapping & Video Creation

While recruitment agencies only search for active job seekers (typically about 20% who happen to be looking at that time), we can identify all candidates. We commence our research stage by mapping all the target companies and using the latest AI software to identify a near-comprehensive list of candidates in the marketplace who have the capability and experience for this position within your geographical location. At this stage, our videographers and editors create your video.

3. Candidate Approaches

We professionally approach each candidate using various communication methods. We engage directly with each candidate, gaining as much interest in the opportunity as possible. We can collect market insights such as salary, bonus, benefits, and people’s perception of you in the market.

4. Candidate Assessment

We then conduct telephone and video calls to assess each candidate against the role requirements. Ultimately, a long list of QIA (qualified, interested, assessed) candidates emerges.

5. Shortlisting

We jointly select the shortlist for interview

6. Weekly Steering Meetings

The whole process is transparent, with all candidates accessed by you in a dynamic, real-time, and interactive client portal where you can reject, accept or ask questions on any candidate.

7. Interview and referencing

Full support to arrange interviews with each candidate, taking feedback regularly and ensuring we inform each party at every stage. We will be happy to take references if required.

8. Offer management

Once you agree a suitable package, we will present the offer to the successful candidate and support through any negotiation, to ensure all parties are happy with the final arrangements and stay in regular contact with you and the candidate until they start.

​

Timelines of a Typical Search

Depending on the urgency of the requirement, we can flex timelines to suit the project. However, search projects typically takes around 4-6 weeks to reach the shortlist stage.

​

Case Studies:

​

·         The first payment is due on the date we agree to commence recruiting

·         The second payment is due when the candidate accepts an offer

·         The third payment is due 14 days after they start.

NB If more than one placement is made, each candidate is a further 25% invoice due in full 14 days after they start.
