MANPOWER SOLUTIONSMANPOWER SOLUTIONSEXECUTIVE SEARCH

We at Green Thumbs understand the urgency with which key managers are required. Our extensive search ensures that you get the best talent available. Our process is not just to hunt for resumes; rather we track careers. The strengths, reputation and success stories of candidates are all taken into consideration.

CASE STUDY

The Problem

An international FMCG company sought our services on an urgent basis, to fill two senior positions within a short period of time. The client had rarely outsourced any HR function in the past and came to us only because of our reputation of searching the right candidate in a strict time constraint.

The Solution

We conducted a thorough search for candidates in the geographical areas specified by the client, competitors and parallel industries. Our focus was on the passive talent – people who were making significant contributions to their companies but were not actively seeking a change. We contacted and interviewed more than 50 candidates for each search in an effort to thoroughly screen the candidates for skill level and culture and leadership fit.

The Result

The search resulted in finding candidates from the same industry who were performing similar responsibilities. The client was particularly pleased with our search method, how our team kept them informed throughout the process, the speed with which we executed, and the quality the shortlisted candidates.

The finest professionals seek us because of our competence, commitment and our offer of confidentiality.

Our eyes and ears are on the ground. Our clients, whether large or small, global or local, benefit greatly as we have access to the most relevant resources and relationships wherever they may exist. We just don’t pick a candidate by his qualifications – we ensure his/her suitability, interest level and availability through a candid assessment. We keep assessing both the expectations of the client and the candidate till the position is filled.

The Process

There is no room for inefficiency in our process.

Search Strategy

PERMANENT RECRUITMENT

Our customers tell us they choose to work with us because of the way we work with them. We specialize in bringing people and organizations together, and in recommending business solutions to keep companies moving forward. That means understanding your needs and sharing your goals for the future.

As a forward thinking executive search firm, we are extremely selective in the candidates that we choose for our clients. We make it a point to rigorously interview all candidates before sending them to our clients – which takes the risk out of the talent acquisition strategy. A seasoned recruitment manager is assigned to every client, who handles the needs of the client as well of the candidate right from the search process to the final acceptance of the job.

At Green Thumbs, we hope to build relationships that are both fruitful to our clients’ business and our candidates’ expectations.

CASE STUDY The Problem One of the Big 4 accounting firms required some project managers on an urgent basis. The client retained Green Thumbs to select suitable candidates. The Solution The whole process from headhunting to the final employment took us around 6 weeks. We used to share with the client the hiring updates at regular intervals so that they knew what the status was and what would come next. The Result The client was extremely satisfied with our process and its efficiency. They felt our knowledge of recruitment and our process ensured they secured the right candidates for the position. They were especially appreciative of our responsiveness and professionalism.

ASSESSMENT SERVICES

AREAS WE ASSESS

Psychometric Assessments are powerful tools used by organizations for the selection, development and management of people. Tests can be used:

• To enhance the decision making process for selection and promotion• as an aid to management in domains such as motivation and team building• to identify development needs, as a basis for employee counseling as well as in

organizational areas such as management of change or succession planning.

All leading national and international companies have psychometric assessment as a part of their core HR strategy. These tests are specifically devised to evaluate and facilitate decision making processes – both for recruitment and development.

GreenThumbs is determined to be the best in the business of assessment and believe in constantly updating our tests to the latest techniques and technology. Our tests are high in quality, relevance, innovation and cater to all the needs of an organization, including recruitment, career management, skills assessment, evaluation, personal and team development.

• Aptitude – An individual’s potential to learn a specific (often new) skill.• Ability/Skill – An individual’s current skill level.• Personality & Values – The type of behavior that the individual exhibits most of the time and how he/she is likely to

behave in certain circumstances.• Motivation – What moves an individual to action• Leadership – An individual’s potential and/or style of leading• Development & Training Needs – Who should grow within the organization and who needs training

What does a “Bad Hire”

really cost?

According to staffing.org

the hard costs of making

just one poor hiring

decision account for 14-

29% of the employee’s

annual salary. Salary.com

suggests it’s 33-50%.

CASE STUDY

Leading Pharmaceutical Company

The ProblemT h e o rga n i zat i o n wa nte d a leadership development program for its senior management that would outline their individual personality traits within the context of the organization's leadership culture. For this the HR department required a self-guided process to minimize its administrative time, but also wanted to ensure top-quality coaching support for the target group.

The SolutionOur team provided a battery of assessment solutions customized specifically for the organization, supplemented by executive-level coaching.

Participants were introduced to the results of the online assessment in a group feedback session facilitated by our coaches. The participants received individual reports designed to enable a self-guided development process supported by additional coaching, as needed.

The ResultThe program was successful and a number of participants requested a similar development program for their personal reports.

Compared to the amount of time it takes for an individual to complete the test - the information you get from our feedback reports is invaluable.

Identifying people with the most chances of succeeding will help derive the maximum value from the amount you invest in training.

EXECUTIVE ASSESSMENT

At GreenThumbs, we take it as a challenge to provide a bespoke solution that fits like a glove!

The senior management plays a pivotal in the success of any company. So the exact compatibility of the individual with the company is a very essential factor in the process of top management/C-Level hiring. The task of assessment, thus, becomes extremely sensitive and challenging – there is really no room to make mistakes. It is therefore imperative that the assessment process used be of the highest quality. The test must be highly:

• Credible Candidates must be appropriately challenged and stretched but must also see the relevance of the process to the role for which they have applied.

• Reliable The process must provide a consistent and appropriate standard, against which to benchmark candidates.

• Confidential Utmost secrecy must be maintained in order to help the candidates perform naturally without feeling threatened.

At GreenThumbs, we practice utmost profess ional ism and confidentiality while assessing senior talent of your organisation. We are driven by your needs, not by management fads or by our own theories. While designing a solution for you, we follow an analytical approach. We use a variety of innovative techniques including neural networks, data mining and adaptive testing to provide instruments which:

• create assessments that fit with your existing systems and reflect your exact needs;

• reflect and contribute to your brand; and• show your commitment to world-class assessment

Dedicated account managers work alongside you to develop these assessments and are always on-hand to ensure that the product is being evolved to meet your ever-changing business needs. We are committed to being your assessment partner of choice, today and well into tomorrow.

Professional Psychologists who specialize in testing & assessment

have a greater knowledge and experience of the use of tests than can be gained from short training courses.

CASE STUDY

The Problem

In order to maintain its reputation as the

market leader, a leading automobile company

wanted a Management Development Program

that raised the standard of the managers

running its sites.

The Solution

Our trainers provided a modular Management

Development program which was designed to

target the critical business issues faced by the

client and enable its managers to concentrate

their learning around the real life issues and

leadership challenges facing them in the

workplace – like increasing demands on its

customer service levels particularly from

clients such as insurance companies.

To achieve this aim, our trainers wrote a

detailed program with each module lasting one

day.

Result

On an ongoing basis, managers throughout the

company are coached in key areas and

behaviors aligned with learning and

development efforts seen as critical to

company performance and success.

- HR Head of a Large FMCG Company

I have worked with Green Thumbs for a 360 degree feedback exercise at GVT. The proxy indicators they chose for the analysis were very pertinent in my view. On top of that they executed the whole exercise very smoothly and swiftly. The final reports were also clear and precise- full of practical insights that will be useful in everyday work scenarios. I found my own report quite relevant. It has helped me in dealing with challenges at the work place more effectively. I believe this exercise was worth every paisa if we were to use it meaningfully and look at it honestly. Green Thumbs is definitely a player to watch out for in the HR advisory space-they are young, gifted, and hungry. I wish them all the best.”
