SearchSpecifics is a reputable talent search company that achieves the best result for both the candidate as well as the client it represents. I believe that this august organisation achieves its excellence in service delivery through a motivational, persistent and informed process employed through their vast experience and logic. I dealt with Searchspecifics, whom I believe, perform a good research about a company and its relevant office bearers. Through my interaction with them I experienced, for the first time ever, a company that not only cared about their sales but also about the individual’s aspirations and goals. I would involve their services at any time should the need arise.

I found their service to be immaculate particularly when it comes to turnaround time – they do not delay when you ask for a cv after a brief. We are proud of their service and we are confident we will enjoy a lasting relationship going to the future.

Position
Economist:Commercial Unit

From the moment I spoke to the Account Executive about needing to change jobs and move to a different environment I felt a connection with her in that we shared a common purpose; that of improving my career prospects in as painless a way as possible. I’m not sure about this but it felt like I became the Accounts Executive’s number one priority in the couple of weeks it took to place me in my current position. What I particularly like is that she’ll advise you on how to look after your interests without losing the professionalism that will take you places; also making sure you don’t sacrifice long term career prospects for short-term gains.

I thought that the Account Executive was caring, understanding and courteous while trying to place me. They made every effort to accommodate me in terms of interview times and any correspondence. Ensured that the process was quick and painless.

The Account Executive treated my case with the sensitivity and urgency that I believed it deserved. She was also very prompt in her responses to any questions that I had about the position. She never failed to ask me how I felt about the position and assisted with counseling me when it was all too much for me to deal with. Overall she was a very good agent!

This testimonial highlights my gratitude to the SearchSpecifics team that facilitated a life-changing transition to a wonderful organisation, BP South Africa.
The manner in which the Account Executive approached me for the initial briefing about the opportunity was both efficient and professional. It was during a period, when I had just lost my father. Due to the emotional trauma I was experiencing, I initially misunderstood the interview date and I thought that it was an opportunity gone. However, I was touched by the empathetic gesture of the Account Executive by rescheduling our appointment.

At the one-on-one interview, I was made to feel comfortable and treated with professionalism and respect. The Account Executive approached the interview in a very balanced manner, focusing on both my professional and personal achievements. The detail to which she delved into gave me the confidence that my application would stand in good stead.

What was very refreshing and heartening, was the fact that Account Executive showed absolute concern and personal interest in every step of the selection process thereafter. There was consistent feedback after every interview as well as the final assessment, and this supportive stance was reiterated after signing the letter of appointment and thereafter starting my new job.

In life, a person is fortunate to be touched by individuals of angelic qualities, and my interaction with SearchSpecifics, captures the essence of (being touched by an angel).
