Resourceful Pro – Why Us? Our Executive Search service explained

Contemporary organisations need contemporary leaders.

Working across the c-suite, board, executive, general and technical management, our process has facilitated the positive results the right hire can achieve.

Our unique process for sourcing and hiring the world’s best executives is based on knowledge, science and research. The Resourceful Pro team is immersed in the Utilities, Energy & Resources, Oil & Gas, and Infrastructure sectors. Our global network of connections means we are talking with and reaching out to leaders every day, building a pool of professionals ready to embrace future opportunities.

WHY US?

A UNIQUE MODEL FOR FINDING THE BEST LEADERS

Resourceful Pro has developed an evidence-based assessment methodology that comprehensively measures talent and achievement. At the core of our model is a distinctive methodology that provides a fair, accurate and rigorous method of assessing potential candidates against role requirements.

While many executive search firms focus solely on assessing achievement, our process also measures talent to find the best leaders, rather than simply hiring people who have performed similar roles in the past. Candidates are challenged by complex scenarios and required to offer solutions to hypothetical real-world work situations, offering deeper insights than traditional interview techniques.

Advantages of evidence-based assessment:

• Lower risk
• Eliminates biases of individual recruiters
• Removes derailers from the interview process
• Accurately and consistently measures candidates against each other
• Promotes diversity of experience

BEHAVIOURAL COMPETENCIES THAT COUNT

Our integrated and evidence-based process comprehensively measures talent and achievement.

Our recruitment process measures a range of contemporary behavioural competencies covering cognitive and non-cognitive skills.

In today’s environment, a combination of relevant experience, business smarts and non-cognitive skills are critical for modern leaders. Resourceful Pro can accurately assess highly sought-after traits such as emotional intelligence, self-awareness, flexibility, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the ability to lead through change.

Our assessment process measuring cognitive and non-cognitive skills has been developed with the aid of specialist psychologists to deeply examine strengths and weaknesses in cognitive and non-cognitive skills. The process includes psychometric testing and a mental agility assessment designed to evaluate problem solving and decision-making abilities as well as candidate capacity to step up into higher level roles in the future.

PROFESSIONAL COACHING FOR NEW HIRES

Our Onboarding Coaching Program is embedded into the search process.

The first 100 days are critical to the success of new executive hires. To mitigate risk, our search process includes a Coaching Program for new executive hires for up to 100 days.

Four to six coaching sessions in the initial months support the transition and help to align expectations and aspirations of the employee and employer. Businesses can select their own coach from a pool of specialists or we can recommend a coach who would best suit your requirements and culture. The aim of the program is for the executive to transition from consuming value to creating value as quickly as possible.

We cover external appointments as well as internal movements and promotions.

UNBUNDLED PRODUCT OFFERING WITH FLEXIBLE PRICING STRUCTURES

Unlike many other executive search firms, Resourceful Pro offers price flexibility.

Should your situation change mid-process, we don’t hold you to the staged fee agreements and we don’t charge you to cancel the search.

Resourceful Pro offers the ultimate flexibility in executive search by offering a complete or partial executive search function. We can work in partnership with internal Human Resources teams, supporting existing teams where required or acting as a complete HR department.

With flexible pricing and no cancellation fees, Resourceful Pro is a truly unique offering in the industry.

GLOBAL TALENT POOL

Resourceful Pro has an engaged and connected international network of professionals.

Having an activated network means the Resourceful Pro team regularly has conversations with global leaders about future roles in Australia and New Zealand, giving organisations a head start for new hires.

Our team of researchers and industry specialists proactively identify the best leaders in the world and connect with them to start the conversation about future opportunities, unlike traditional agencies that operate on an assignment by assignment basis.
