Adapting an Agile Inspired Approach to Recruiting
We took our inspiration from the Agile methodology that is transforming every aspect of the digital enterprise and adapted it to transform the standard recruiting process. By applying an Agile inspired approach, we make digital & disruptive recruiting:
Fast
Competitors deliver candidates at day 45.
Adison presents sample profiles at day 3, and vetted candidates within 14 days.
Transparent
Competitors “go dark” for 30+days, with no testing.
Adison provides complete transparency from day 1, and real-time activity reporting.
Flexible
Competitors leverage rigid processes and unproven proprietary assessment tools.
Adison adapts our thinking and approach to your situation, with flexible ways of working.
Creative
Competitors build their search program around stale job descriptions and networks.
Adison hunts across industry & non-industry benchmarks, while leveraging original research.
Personal
Competitors force you into their “box” and provide generic messaging.
Adison learns your story and builds a value proposition specific to your opportunity.
Holistic
Competitors rely on lifetime industry partners who approach your need, with their network bias.
Adison looks for talent & inspiration beyond your industry. We connect dots across your organization, industry and beyond.
