Q: Why should I use Connect Space to find talent?
Connect Space gives our clients or employers much better access to a pool of talent. The network that we have will most times outweighs a single company’s reach. It also means that if you need to fill a role on short notice, we are most likely to be able to get a quality shortlist to you in as little as three days depending on the role. This helps you reduce the cost of replacing employees who leave as we take all of the grunt work out of hiring new employees without removing you from the equation.
Even if you don’t need a shortlist in such a small amount of time, we have systems and processes in place to exterminate the time you would have to spend looking for talent from scratch. It also means you have a trusted third party who you can rely on to give you a good candidate.
Companies and leaders can often wonder whether or not a third party is necessary for their talent acquisition and if they would be better off just doing it themselves, but using us far outweighs the costs. Aside from the extensive network and the shorter hiring times, we can also streamline hiring processes and share expert knowledge around interviewing practices, CV selection, benchmarking, employer branding, and much more.

Q: How does your agency find talent?
We use a wealth of resources to help source local talent. We have access to various online databases that help us find creative ways of locating and attracting potential candidates to the positions our clients are looking to fill. We use social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram to help generate awareness and interest in open positions. Our website as well is a significant platform to keep potential talent engaged. These mediums also help us to thoroughly research each potential candidate to get a sense of their likes, dislikes, personalities, and job-related experiences. Furthermore, we use state-of-the-art applicant tracking systems to keep an updated list of all potential candidates and make relevant notes on their profiles that will help you determine for yourself if they are a fit for the position vacancy being offered. Throughout the entire process, we keep you in the loop and accept all feedback that helps us find the most plausible matches for your company.
Q: How long does the entire process take from initial contact to the first day of the hired candidates?
The length of time it takes to find qualified and suitable candidates depend largely on the available talent pool. It typically takes us a few days to locate candidates, evaluate their skill sets, and then conduct the first round of interviews. Only the most qualified and suitable candidates will be contacted for a second interview either via phone, live chat or in person. However, we are dedicated to filling your open positions as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Q: Does your agency provide temporary and permanent placements?
Yes, we provide temporary and permanent placements.
Q: What exactly is an executive search?
An executive search is specialized to find the best executives to fill senior roles. Talented senior executives rarely apply for roles due to their current level of responsibilities and tend to be the most passive talent and therefore the hardest to find.
As part of Connect Space executive search service, we understand the impacts having a senior vacancy can have on your reputation internally and externally, so we work quickly and discreetly to find and carefully screen the best candidates for senior-level roles such as chief officers and directors.
Q: What types of candidate pre-screening techniques does your agency use?
Every candidate must undergo a pre-screening interview before they can move on to the next phase of the hiring process, which involves more in-depth interviews. We start with general skill assessment tests and then specific probing questions to get to know their personality and work ethic as much as possible. This candidate assessment method allows us to gain an understanding of candidates and how well they will fit into your company’s work culture and atmosphere while also helping us determine their level of skill and expertise in your field. After the pre-screening interview, we move on to a second interview where these skills will be put to the test even further, and this time with the help of the company’s technical teams/supervisors/direct managers (if necessary)
Q: Is Connect Space an equal opportunity employer?
Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that all applicants regardless of culture or background receive equal working opportunities within the workforce provided that their skills and experience match those required by clients. We believe in building strong and diverse work environments that help employees thrive and showcase their different talents.

Whether you want to just give us a description of what your company is looking for and let us handle the rest or even if you want someone from your company to be present at each and every interview, we will work with you to figure out a hiring process that makes the most sense for your company.
