farrowjamieson work in open partnerships with our clients to solve their human resource issues.  Finding a person for a position can be completed by most competent recruiters, however finding someone that will "fit" your organisation and be a "star" in the future is where farrowjamieson excel.

Executive Recruitment

Identifying and recruiting company executives is one of farrowjamieson major focuses. Our process of ensuring clients only meet with candidates who truly meet the requirements of the brief is rigorous.

At the outset, we develop a close working partnership with our clients to establish a clear understanding of their management structure, working environment and projected developments. With that as a backdrop, we determine the specific duties and responsibilities, key reporting areas, overall objectives and future prospects of the proposed position. As well, we ascertain the mix of experience, qualifications, personality and style required.

When we are confident that we have a precise brief of the company and the position, we recommend the appropriate method of recruitment and remuneration structure necessary to attract the most suitable candidates.

Candidates are contacted on a confidential basis and in a manner which reflects positively on the client organisation. If they meet the client’s briefing requirements, they are invited to undertake a detailed interview.

Extensive candidate reference checks are fully reported prior to the candidate and client meeting to ensure there are no ‘surprises’ further along the recruitment process.


Executive Leasing

For clients who prefer to work on a contract basis, farrowjamieson can provide executive expertise for a comprehensive range of project management assignments.

These assignments are clearly defined, documented, initiated and managed to a successful conclusion by farrowjamieson using specialist consultants from our database. Such consultants have the relevant experience and qualifications to meet the stringent requirements of our competency-assessed profiles

farrowjamieson takes full responsibility for the successful completion of assignments in accordance with the agreed contract.

Executive Assessment

Executive assessment programmes target answers to the question,

  • Will this person be effective in a particular position in a given organisation?
  • The key to the success of our assessment programmes is our ability to ensure that the right tests are selected to meet the needs of the client organisation.

It is important, however, to bear in mind that all factors in our assessment programmes, including interview findings, references and any tests, are viewed in combination and that no attempt is made to draw conclusions from any one test in isolation. Psychological tests are a useful guide in assessing an individual's capabilities and competencies, but they should be treated as approximations and not be used as performance predictors.

A comprehensive report is provided to the client and a debriefing session with the executive being assessed is carried out. This debriefing session is an invaluable part of the programme that encourages the executives to reassess their own strengths and limitations and the contribution they can make to the total team effort.


Executive Search

We are aware that because many top executives are engrossed in the challenge of their existing positions, they may not be actively seeking a career move. Where appropriate, we search for suitable candidates amongst this pool of executives by confidentially tapping into our wide network of national and international executives.

At farrowjamieson we approach and negotiate with such executives with professionalism, skill and diplomacy. Client companies who have previously tried to conduct their own executive searches have come to appreciate the high level of competence exercised by farrowjamieson in persuading an executive to make a major career change. The company’s identity is only revealed to those candidates who are ultimately selected to meet the client.

farrowjamieson commitment to the highest standards of integrity in the human resource industry preclude us from accepting assignments involving search within the organisations of current clients.
