What Is the AES Process?

The AES Process is a three-phase recruitment methodology designed to ensure the perfect match between candidate and organization:

  1. Assessment

  2. Engagement

  3. Strategy

The Assessment Phase forms the foundation of our process, ensuring every placement is carefully evaluated for success.


Assessment Phase: Understanding Client and Candidate

Successful recruitment starts with deep insight into both the organization and the candidate. Our structured assessment ensures that every placement aligns with both the role and company culture.

Behavioral Assessment of Client and Role

Before candidate search begins, we perform a detailed behavioral assessment of the client and the position:

  • Organizational Culture Analysis – Understand company values, leadership style, and workplace dynamics.

  • Role Definition – Identify essential soft skills, leadership traits, and key competencies for success.

  • Success Factors – Determine what exceptional performance looks like in the role over 6–12 months.

This step ensures that we understand exactly what the client needs beyond just technical expertise.

Candidate Assessment

Once role requirements are clear, candidates are evaluated through a rigorous process:

  • Video Introduction – Highlights communication skills, personality, and presence.

  • Up-to-Date Resume – Shows career progression and technical expertise.

  • Two References – Confirms work history, performance, and professionalism.

  • Key Competency Questions – Assesses skill level, problem-solving, and leadership ability.

This holistic assessment predicts both immediate and long-term success, ensuring high-quality hires.
