Analyzing the candidate Profile
DATA EXPERT's consultants compile a job specification for the position in question. This includes the description of the client, presentation of the vacant position as well as determination of the key competencies, professional and personal expectations from the candidate.

Customizing the strategy for search&selection
Together with the client, the strategy for Search & Selection is defined, based on the candidate profile and discussions. Data Expert offers a variety of models for Search & Selection:

  • Direct Search :
    This special methodology is mostly applied for Executive vacancies and Key middle-management positions. The target industry and companies are searched for talented professionals. The high quality network connection of DATA EXPERT is also used for ensuring the best result.

However the project team can be expanded depending on the needs of the client.

Stage 4: Interview
Interviews with the selected profiles
Face to Face Interviews are conducted with the successful profiles selected during the telephone interviews. Our senior consultants select the most suitable talents for client needs. During this stage psychometric tests and additional tests (English etc.) are being applied to the candidates if needed.

Stage 5: Shortlisting

Stage 7: References
Reference Check of the selected profiles
After the presentation stage of the process, our senior consultant checks the candidate(s)'s references of his/her past relevant experience.

The reference forms of the candidate are being sent to the client at the end of this stage.

After the reference forms are passed to the client, our senior consultant helps the client at the negotiation process between the client and the candidate. Last controls and candidate's willingness is checked again to ensure the best result.
