Professional Recruitment with Mercuri Urval

Recruitment based on science

Employment decisions are difficult to get right. The costs associated with getting key hiring decisions wrong are well documented, yet the failure rate remains alarmingly high. So how can you make sure you employ the right people?

MU Professional Recruitment services were born out of the need for more successful outcomes in management and leadership recruitment.

With recruitment outcomes so important, and normally so uncertain, a science-driven approach to finding and selecting key people reassuring success has been developed by Mercuri Urval.

Rather than start with candidates we know or with general advertising, we believe successful selection must have a precise result need as the point of departure. Our recruitment consultants analyse your required results and the organisational context in which the employee must succeed. From this clear advice on the requirements of the role and a tailored and targeted digital media sourcing strategy are provided. This requires a very close partnership with our client and analysing precisely what is required for success in a specific role. The tailored criteria that inform the digital campaign are the applied to ensure a methodical qualification and selection of candidates. This enables our experts to recruit more reliably for our clients.

When candidates should be engaged through targeted direct search, MU Executive Search utilise the same principle of tailored and fact-based inclusion for this work.
