Recruiting and Related Services
Fundamental to the success of any organisation is effective recruitment and selection of
the right people with the right knowledge, skills and experience; getting it wrong is
extremely costly and can impact the organisation in many ways.
A good recruitment and selection process continues with the subsequent integration of
new people so that they become productive members of the team as quickly and effi-
ciently as possible. First impressions count and a well designed and implemented induc-
tion will set the foundations for what should then be a long and successful working rela-
tionship.

3. Montague Consult HR can provide recruiting, selection criteria, screening, testing and
reference checking. However in providing this service, we will bear in mind the strategic
direction of the organisation. We are not a traditional recruitment agency.
We provide fixed-price recruitment services for our existing clients and do not charge a
percentage of the employee’s salary package. This cost-effective approach reduces
recruitment expenses, as well as enabling businesses to plan ahead.
HR Outsourcing
At Montague Consult HR Solutions we provide HR outsourcing services for firms that
want to outsource parts or all of their HR function and processes. This option suits a lot
of our smaller clients who do not yet have the capacity to operate a fully functional HR
department. It also suits clients who have decided to outsource certain non-core
business processes. This is an option worth exploring as our fee structure makes it an
affordable, value-adding service. We also provide a program of on-going support and
advice for all your HR questions.

graduates to senior management. They will motivate you to identify your skills and val-
ues, to write an irresistible CV, and to design an action plan for success.
Employee Relations
Employee relations issues are less likely to occur if you have compliant policies and
procedures that have been properly communicated with training provision where
appropriate and good performance management practices. However, all organisations
will probably still find themselves in a conflict situation at some point.

employee assistance plans, team building, to counselling techniques and employee
attitude surveys.

We can create, review, or provide assistance with the preparation of new or existing
management policy and procedures manuals, Employee handbooks, HR forms and job

What your business may need in the way of HR policies and procedures will be largely

work with you to understand what those needs are and design and implement appropri-
ate policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with current employment legislation
and best practice principles.

procedures and feel ownership and responsibility for making them work for the benefit
of everyone in the company. To this end, we will involve all stakeholders in the process,
taking on board suggestions and concerns and maintaining open communication
channels throughout.
HR Information System Implementation
In service-based organisations, it is not uncommon to hear the phrase, “Our people are
our most important asset”. In an environment characterised by skills shortages and
lower levels of loyalty to organisations, Human Resource Directors and senior Human
Resource professionals need tools to help them monitor, manage and motivate their
workforce.
Montague Consult HR will assist and support the selection and implementation of the
best fit HR Information system to support your business objectives. We have partnered
with experienced and competent HRIS solution providers and will manage the smooth
implementation and transition to the new system
Developing HR Strategy
Montague Consult HR knows that all HR Management practices should be designed to
support an organisation’s key business priorities. Our philosophy is based on the under-
standing that people are vital to the organisation’s success. An important element in our
process is how an organisation translates its mission and goals to the employees in order
to reinforce the culture. Your HR Partners are the best people to you strategically drive
your business forward, a resource which should be tapped into and taken advantage of.
Performance Management
We know that management is measurement and anything you cannot measure you
cannot manage. Good performance management starts with well-designed jobs and
effective communication between the manager and the people. It is a continuous
process and a critical element in ensuring employee engagement and talent retention.
That is why we design performance management systems in a manner that drives the
optimal performance of employees towards meeting and exceeding organisational goals
while rewarding those behaviours that drive success.
Learning and Development
We understand that employee performance is strongly linked to the employee’s level of
competence. Development of individuals ensures growth of the company’s knowledge
base and an effective learning and development programme will ensure that the rate of
learning for your people is equal to, or faster than, the rate of change in your business.
We will assist your organisation in determining the knowledge, skills and levels of ability
required for employees to perform their jobs optimally. Our experience in competency
framework development ensures that training and developmental needs required to
close competency gaps are met in a systematic and effective manner.
