Talent Blueprint ©

When sourcing talent for our clients Six is already one step ahead. We have live 'blueprints' of the talent in core disciplines of the energy sector. Having invested heavily in the latest Contact Management technology we are able to develop and maintain strong relationships with these talent pools. We know what skills they have and when they might be available for their next assignment. Amongst others we have blueprints for Petroleum, Well, Project, Process and Mechanical Engineering.

What does this mean for you? Whenever we do a search, we don't have to start at the beginning. Because our 'blueprints' are living documents, we know where to focus our efforts. Cycle times are reduced and the right matches are made.

Executive Search

For an industry where competition for senior level professionals is ever-increasing the most effective way of targeting and securing this talent is through a proactive, high-touch approach. Our search process gives a flavour of how we find the right match:

• We conduct a rigorous analysis of each role with the hiring manager to identify the critical functional and behavioural competencies
• We prepare a briefing document which captures all information needed to focus our search and to fully inform potential candidates
• Extensive research is conducted
• With each potential candidate we conduct a formal assessment of the critical competencies
• A shortlist of 3 to 4 outstanding individuals is presented
• We negotiate and advise on remuneration
• We check references
• We continue contact with our candidates and clients to ensure a smooth and successful first year in post

As part of this service our clients are provided with a Market Intelligence Report capturing useful information discovered during the search process. For an illustration of how we arrive at the strongest possible shortlist please see our Resourcing Strategy ( .pdf | .doc)

Advertised Search

This is a hybrid service which works particularly well in the energy sector. It combines the use of media (web & print) with executive search to ensure that the right candidate is identified from a geographically and culturally diverse talent pool.

This method provides an excellent opportunity for a company to increase their Brand identity and to get a real sense of the current available market either on a regional or global basis.

With each candidate we conduct a formal assessment of the critical competencies as well as exploring their short and long-term motivations to ensure there is a match on both fronts.
