Resource Management

Beacon Solutions believes that every organization has a unique DNA, and understanding its culture and customising our search to the role envisaged lies at the core of expectation from our clients.

Beacon Solutions is a leading recruitment consulting firm from Pune. We have a dedicated research team that analyses the market to identify the most suitable talent for your organisation. We are committed to delivering outstanding service, with a view to hiring of key resources at the Middle and Senior management levels.

To help us understand the organization and the role, our team of experienced professionals, guided by a leadership with over a century of corporate experience, uses assessment techniques such as the DISC framework. We believe that spending this time during the early stages of the engagement is essential to providing a customised solution suited to the aspirations of the organization and the employee.

As you will experience, Beacon Solutions is not a cookie-cutter, head-hunting service provider. We value the strategy of our clients and view our role as one of a facilitator in the growth of the client organization.

Beacon Solutions team has a depth of experience in a wide range of sectors, from Automotive, Specialty Chemicals, Engineering and Consulting to Pharmaceutical, FMCG, Banking, Financial Services, Infrastructure etc. We maintain the highest level of business ethics in all our dealings with clients and candidates alike.

Industry is in the midst of the realization that an effective HR leadership is one of the most vital components of executing a business strategy. Yet, very few companies around the world have HR leaders represented on their Board to provide the necessary guidance to their top executive team. It is this gap in intent and execution of strategy, where Beacon can support you as a partner. We recognize that identifying and retaining top talent, in the unique cultural fabric of your organization, needs strong employee engagement and an eye on the succession plan.

Our approach to identifying a suitable talent is comprehensive and takes on board a clear understanding of the organizational and role contexts. This includes skills and competencies, experience, matching the extrapolated career graphs for the role and the candidate, and the overall enthusiasm on either side. We have access to a vast database and linkages to a wide network through our leadership.

We apply our understanding of the market to benchmark the role to refine the job descriptions and reward package in consultation with the leadership on the client’s side. This helps the organization to find the right fit and to also provide the candidate with a rewarding career. We measure our success by keeping track of how long it takes for our placement to get the first promotion. We aim to see this happening within 1 to 3 years for senior level placements.

Organizations generally differ in their approach to hiring and the number of CVs they wish to screen, but we typically offer 2 to 3 choices for senior level positions. Our view is that if we have understood the organizational strategy and the role well, it is likely that we will come up with the right fit among 2 or 3. In any case, we do not outsource the screening work to the client HR, by dumping tens of CVs obtained from a database search using key words.

Before offering the selected CVs, our associates carry out multiple telephonic interviews to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the candidate, in the context of the given role. The relevant notes from these interviews are also passed on to the client organization for a better assessment of the candidate.

Meetings between the client and the candidates are coordinated at every stage to facilitate the interaction. We maintain regular communication with both parties after the interview for feedback.

Following the interview process, and based on the outcome of the interaction, we conduct first level reference checks as necessary. Typically, the second level reference checks are done by the client, in line with their organizational policies. Psychometric tests can be set up either directly or through us as preferred.

Often, there are some gaps to be bridged between the candidate and the organization regarding the reward package. We facilitate the negotiating process from end to end till an offer letter has been accepted. After the candidate joins, we continue to support the on-boarding process to ensure a smooth transition.
