FLEXIBLE STAFFING

The success of any business (in any industry) depends on maintaining peak efficiency levels in the workforce. This is generally an area of high expense in any organisation. Determining and maintaining optimal staffing levels throughout the company’s specific business cycle is of critical importance.

Aptus performs a comprehensive analysis of staffing “Peaks and Valleys” in our client’s business process. In doing so, we determine what optimum staffing levels should be at any given time of this cycle, taking into account various factors that can influence fluctuations. We also look at the primary skills-level of critical staff and determine if there are any redundancies in tasks being performed.

We determine if multi-skilled labour is a feasible option and predict what the impact would be on the future cost-to-income ratio of the company, based on various projected scenarios. This ensures that our clients have various options to maximise client satisfaction.

Aptus recruits, employs, pays and manages staff. This includes the development of performance and skills as well as inter-departmental transfers as and when the business demands their skills.

RECRUITMENT

Our Approach
Aptus Integrated Solutions has an international recruitment division, boasting a team of extensive, multi-industry experience, specialised in moving skills across country boundaries. We have a state-of-the-art recruitment toolbox incorporating international best-practice methodologies, which are tailored to our client's specific needs. Although it is important to ensure the perfect competency fit, it is equally important to match a candidate to the client's culture and value system. Aptus utilises an array of methods to successfully find the correct candidate for any position; from the most junior position to senior executive level.

Our consultants will ensure that they understand the client's environment, the client's business drivers and any special requirements the client might have. By understanding both the client's needs and the environment they operate in, competency profiles for targeted positions are developed based on a holistic set of factors. These will later be used to determine the selection battery for potential candidates and will provide valuable insights into the specific skills and competencies of candidates tested against these profiles.

Because we place staff across borders we have developed and continue to develop orientation courses for the potential candidate and their family to ensure a smooth transition and easier adaptation to the new country and/or environment. The course content is specifically designed around the client/country or environment requirement.

Aptus has access to an array of risk assessment tools, including criminal checks, credit worthiness checks, bank standing, cross referencing qualification checks, skills assessment tests etc.
