De YESS aanpak

Identificeren van de beste kandidaten

De strategie van YESS consultants is gebaseerd op hun kennis van de betreffende industrie en functie, alsmede hun jarenlange ervaring binnen executive search. Onze executive search associates werken nauw samen met de consultants, waarbij ze continu de loopbaanstappen van ambitieuze professionals en potentiële senior managers binnen uiteenlopende bedrijfssectoren en functiegebieden in kaart brengen.

Beoordelen van het “hoe”

Tijdens de gesprekken met potentiële kandidaten richten onze consultants zich niet alleen op wat een kandidaat heeft bereikt; hoe een professional te werk gaat is meestal een betere voorspeller van succes dan een cv alleen. Daarom focust YESS zich op de hoe-vragen, gebaseerd op ons competentiegerichte interviewmodel. De antwoorden op deze vragen geven inzicht in de competenties en maken het mogelijk een precieze beoordeling te maken van hoe de kandidaat in de functie zal presteren. Ook geeft dit een indicatie of de kandidaat zal excelleren binnen de organisatie en of hij/zij past binnen de bedrijfscultuur.

Gecommitteerd aan resultaat

Onze consultants stellen zich ten doel dat de door ons geplaatste kandidaten boven verwachting zullen presteren in hun nieuwe functie. Wij zoeken dan ook regelmatig contact met zowel de kandidaat als opdrachtgever om te horen hoe de match bevalt en hoe de kandidaat zich ontwikkelt. De persoonlijke en professionele betrokkenheid van onze consultants komt voort uit hun langetermijnverbondenheid met opdrachtgevers en kandidaten. Deze langdurige band is één van de redenen dat ongeveer tweederde van onze opdrachten zogenaamde repeat-opdrachten zijn voor bestaande opdrachtgevers.

YESS & diversiteit

Meerdere onderzoeken hebben uitgewezen dat diversiteit één van de belangrijkste kenmerken is van een succesvol team. YESS is hier ook van overtuigd. Diversiteit is veel meer dan de genderdiscussie alleen en neemt ook verschillen in achtergrond, ervaring en denkwijze in ogenschouw. Hierdoor ontstaat er. binnen teams en organisaties, een breed perspectief.

YESS is al jaren nauw betrokken bij verscheidene diversiteitsinitiatieven. Zo is YESS één van de founding partners van de Executive Search Code van Talent naar de Top en committeert YESS zich aan diversiteit in de boardroom via Topvrouwen.nl. Tijdens ons zoekproces stellen wij de diversiteitsvraag actief aan de orde. Hierdoor heeft YESS de afgelopen jaren gemiddeld 38% vrouwen in senior management posities bemiddeld.

YESS biedt een breed palet aan services, variërend van Walk the D&I Talk, talentontwikkeling, executive search en consultancy gericht op meer diversity en inclusion in uw organisatie.
