Connecting You with Exceptional Experienced Talent

Bring strategic insight, commercial acumen, and proven expertise to your organisation.

Bring clarify to roles and defined what ‘good’ looks like in alignment with your company’s strategy.

Effective recruitment requires aligning a candidate’s experience with clear role expectations and organisational strategy. The only way to achieve this is by bringing clarity to the role itself and understanding what “good” looks like with alignment to the organisational strategy and its contribution expectations.

Recruiting experienced individuals is a nuanced process, as the definition of “experience” can vary widely across industries and roles. Generally, candidates with 2-4 years in a full-time position are seen as experienced by most organisations.  However, it’s important not to be overly influenced by the roles listed on their CV. While past experience is valuable, assessing a candidate’s ability to make sound commercial decisions and strategic judgements inline with their level of role and experience is crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions

It has always been our belief that candidates of all levels should be measured for their current capability, future stretch and business-fit, regardless of their seniority. In fact, for more senior roles, it’s even more important to ensure you’ve got the right person!

In the event that you are recruiting from an external pool of candidates, internal candidates or a mix of the two, using our process provides:

• An objective assessment – this is particularly important if you are considering internal candidates
• Evidence of capability outlined in their CV/interview
• Insight into future stretch
• Understanding of cultural fit For those looking to include internal candidates in their recruitment, our process is a great way to provide objectivity and help candidates to understand why they were or weren’t successful.

Some of our clients have gone on to use the process as a way of developing PDPs, showing their internal candidates a path to reaching their desired career goal and maintaining their engagement with the company.

The planned changes to employment law under the new 'Plan to Make Pay Work' recently announced by the new UK government has several consequences for employers looking to hire. Under the new plan to employees will be protected from unfair dismissal from the first day of their employment.

This will represent a huge shift in existing employment law, which only provides protection from unfair dismissal after two years of continuous employment. As such, the new proposals would only allow employers to legally terminate a staff member’s employment after identifying a fair reason, and by following a fair process as prescribed by law.

This will require businesses to adopt a far more rigorous and evidence-based hiring process to minimise the risk of an expensive mis-hire. No longer can employers rely on the limited liability protection afforded to them by a ‘probationary period’; now they must consider how they objectively assess the talent they are looking to hire, inline with an organisational strategy.

Additionally, they should think about the capability of hiring managers during the interview process, and have a clear development plan in place for when new employees start.

The proposed rules have the potential to be devastatingly expensive for companies who get it wrong, with many of those who are let go within the first few months of employment likely to cry foul because they didn’t receive a fair and objective chance of success as a result of the hiring process or receive the right training.

Why Discovery?

The Discovery team are experts in designing and delivering career-defining development programmes for organisations across the UK.

Our approach to long-term success is to understand the stresses and strains on a business that cause attrition, under performance, disengagement, culture erosion – all things that impact on business success, employee well-being and, ultimately, profits. This approach stems from the Discovery founders’ many years of experience in the recruitment, training and performance improvement arena, and their passion & desire to do things better.
Experience has taught us that recruitment and training are better when approached together rather than in isolation: often, an identified need for recruitment or training can be symptomatic of wider needs across a business.
