Our Process
At Talent Choice, we keep things simple, structured and focused on results.
Our recruitment process is built around your business. We take the time to understand what you need and work in a clear, hands-on way to find the right person for the role.
This is not about ticking boxes or flooding you with CVs. It is about a targeted, thoughtful approach that reduces time to hire and ensures you meet high-quality candidates who are genuinely aligned with your business.
Every stage of our process is designed to add value, save you time and give you confidence in every hiring decision.


-
Discovery: Understanding Your Unique RequirementsEvery successful placement begins with deep discovery. In this phase, we take the time to immerse ourselves in your company’s culture, business goals, team structure, and specific role requirements. We hold in depth consultations with stakeholders to gather vital information about the organisation’s pain points, long-term objectives, and expectations from the ideal candidate. This ensures we don’t just fill a vacancy, but help build future leadership. Key outcomes: Alignment with business goals Defined expectations for cultural fit and skill sets Clarity on project timelines and hiring urgency
-
Craft: Building a Strategic Recruitment BlueprintOnce the discovery phase is complete, we move to the crafting stage. Here, we develop a bespoke hiring strategy tailored to your organisation. We meticulously craft job descriptions and candidate personas that reflect both your brand and the role’s core objectives. Talent Choice ensures every job advert is SEO optimised and brand aligned, attracting the right candidates while discouraging ill-fitting applicants. This reduces screening time and increases the quality of applicants. Key outcomes: Precise job briefs and role-specific KPIs Enhanced employer branding in job adverts Targeted outreach and sourcing methods
-
Define: Establishing Success MetricsBefore candidate sourcing begins, we define clear hiring metrics to ensure every stakeholder understands what success looks like. These metrics might include time to hire, candidate satisfaction, diversity goals, and long-term retention rates. By having quantifiable outcomes, we can continually assess performance and make data informed decisions throughout the process. Key outcomes: Agreed-upon success benchmarks Alignment across hiring teams Improved accountability and transparency
-
Leverage: Activating Our Extensive NetworksThis is where the power of our network and technology stack comes into play. We leverage a global pool of active and passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, executive databases, and sector specific platforms. We also tap into AI driven tools and internal CRM systems that enable us to map talent effectively and uncover candidates not visible through conventional platforms. Key outcomes: Access to exclusive, high calibre talent Faster and smarter candidate identification Stronger pipelines for future hiring
-
Profile: Analysing and Curating Talent MatchesIn this stage, we conduct deep candidate profiling, going beyond CVs. Each individual is evaluated against a robust set of criteria including behavioural traits, leadership potential, technical proficiency, and cultural compatibility. This ensures our recommendations are holistic and insight driven, saving your internal team countless hours and reducing the risk of mishires. Key outcomes: Tailored candidate reports with detailed insights Alignment with team dynamics and business needs Advanced profiling through psychometrics (if required)
-
Screen: Rigorous Initial Candidate FilteringScreening is more than just a phone call. We conduct structured screening interviews that assess not only competency but motivation, emotional intelligence, and long-term potential. This process weeds out unsuitable applicants and ensures only those who meet both the technical and cultural benchmarks proceed further. Key outcomes: Streamlined shortlisting Enhanced accuracy in candidate selection Quality over quantity in submissions
-
Shortlist: Presenting High Calibre CandidatesBy this stage, you’ll be presented with a refined shortlist of candidates who not only match the role specification but demonstrate a strong alignment with your company’s ethos. Each candidate comes with a comprehensive summary, outlining strengths, areas of development, interview feedback, and motivations for the role. Key outcomes: A curated pool of ready to interview professionals Supporting documentation for informed decisions A higher ratio of interview to offer conversion
-

From setting expectations to designing competency based questions, we ensure each interview stage is purposeful and strategic. We provide clients with interview frameworks and scoring rubrics to maintain fairness and consistency throughout. Key outcomes: Interviews aligned with business priorities Reduction in unconscious bias Detailed post-interview feedback loops
-
