This is where our talent and time can prove invaluable.
All our consultants have broad business and management experience at a senior level, providing Hawkins Consulting with the expertise to find the right candidates. We can relate to the recruiting activity in a far more relevant way and effectively cover issues such as succession planning, management potential, cultural fit and reference checking.
It is these service enhancements that have brought about a "blue chip" client list referred to in this presentation. References on our performance and ability to deal with the issues mentioned above are available from our clients on request.
In addition, we can provide a quality and expertise in our services to our clients which we believe is unmatched by our competitors. Here are some key factors we feel set us apart and provide our clients with measurable benefits.
- Consultants are specifically chosen because they can process the work, not sell the work. With this emphasis, we find the work is always there.
- Remaining relatively small means consultant quality is realisable. The more consultants directly employed the more difficult it becomes to maintain consultant quality.
- We willingly split assignments and fees to ensure clients can access the best candidates. These splits occur with other NPA member companies and specialist consultants, brought in to handle specific assignments. (At the time of writing this text, our company was employing an IR specialist, a microbiologist, a packaging expert, a food marketing specialist and an NPA member company specialising in IT to ensure clients received the best possible outcomes with their assignments.)
- All consultants working directly for Hawkins Consulting have their own registered companies. They contribute to company overheads, and receive on average double the fees of the industry. This way, each consultant establishes a unique relationship with their clients and generally provides a far more consistent and committed service.
- Our formalised alliances, networks and NPA membership enable us to access significant databases for our clients as well as a guaranteed quality and consistency of service here and in 12 overseas countries.
