Service Offering

 

 

The company has developed into a specialized recruitment business, built on strong client centric principles and a project management approach. Our delivery process is managed on project management principles to ensure quality and on time delivery. Our approach is based on forming a proper understanding of your capacity requirements, from a technical and organisational perspective. This is achieved by allocating a service team to your organization, coordinated by the account manager, to serve as a single point of contact and to facilitate a proper understanding of the technical requirements, timing and the environment.

 

What we can do for you?

 

Pro Tem's purpose is to contribute to our clients' successes by providing professional interim and permanent Capability through qualified and experienced recruitment teams for each discipline. Pro Tem is differentiated by focussing exclusively on the following disciplines:

 

• Finance / Advisory and Support Services

• Information Technology (IT) & Information Systems (IS)

• Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Health, Safety and Environmental

• Engineering & Construction

PERMANENT RECRUITMENT CAPABILITY

 

Competency based interviews are conducted to ensure the proposed candidates are a match for the organisations requirements in terms of technical skills, cultural fit and career aspirations. We also perform credit history, criminal record and qualification verification checks on each and every candidate submitted to clients.

 

Management Selection and Development process

 

Cognitive Process Profile (CPP) is a scientifically recognised, cross culturally validated evaluation tool used to qualify individual potential (both immediate and long term). It moves beyond the concept of general intelligence as made popular by the IQ test and measures an individual’s ability to drive and cope with complex adaptive systems, such as business organisations. We compare the individual’s potential with the requirements of the intended position to evaluate the candidate’s ability to be successful.

 

Successful candidates and their direct manager / HR representative are both given personalised feedback on the individual’s strengths and development areas in relation to the requirements. Our Potential Development Expert will facilitate this process and it should be used as a basis of the employee Development process.

 

The advantages of CPP

• CPP is used as a key criterion in Senior staff recruitment by a number of South African and leading global organisations such as Sasol, Accenture and a number of professional service organisations;

• CPP is cross culturally validated as it is symbol based and driven;

• CP makes leadership capability understandable and measureable; and

• CPP allows you to benchmark candidates against the role and/or each other

 

Pro Tem can evaluate existing client employees to ensure the same advantages are achieved, without Pro Tem being directly involved in the recruitment process.

INTERIM RECRUITMENT CAPABILITY

 

Provisioning of staff on a temporary / contract basis. We strive to provide suitable candidates within 4 to 48 hours depending on the level of specialisation required. We perform credit history, criminal record and qualification verification checks on each and every candidate submitted to clients. The service level is variable dependant on the clients requirements.

Pro Tem subscribe to the philosophy that a happy employee is a productive employee. We treat our contractors in the same way as we do permanent staff to ensure they are productive and complete their contract term, be it 3 months or 3 years. We conduct regular site visits to discuss performance with the contractor and ensure their wellbeing. Regular meetings also enable us to be fully aware of the working environment and the contractors state of mind.
