SERVICE OPTIONS
In line with the fact that client companies have varied staff requirements needs at various times, we have worked out a number of “service options” we can offer our clients. These are listed below.

PERMANENT PLACEMENTS
Executive Search (Head Hunting)
We have trained Consultants who can provide this service. PCS Assignments will only source candidates on an “executive search” basis following strict ethical codes, the main one of which being that PCS Assignments will not “head-hunt” from a client company with whom it has placed people within the last 12 months.

Exclusivity
In this case PCS Assignments will sign an exclusive agreement with a client for a specific assignment for a specific time period. An advertising budget will be worked out with the client and PCS Assignments will commit itself to dedicated attention and resources to said assignment to ensure that “no stones are left unturned” to find the right candidate.

Non-Exclusivity
This is the scenario whereby PCS Assignments will freely compete on the open market to find the right candidate through its extensive data bank resources and through its own advertising.
