Constellation– main features

Our fee is always fixed, we do not charge any extra costs related to our internal expenses and we are open to share the business risk with our customers.

Constellation consultants and researchers are using the most modern technological tools (FILEFINDER 9) in order to be able to search through all available information sources, including professional social networks, newspapers, magazines and also corporate websites. FILEFINDER 9 has been recognized as “groundbreaking technology” as a result of the new “Research Zone” technology which allows users to identify and research senior executives who may be found in various websites – including Newspaper aggregators, Corporate websites and Social Networks. The Research Zone takes target company lists identified by the researcher, and returns potential candidates, biographies, compensation information and even organization charts.

Constellation consultants are ready to offer to their clients also other innovative human capital services such as Talent Mapping, Interim Management, Board Services, Referencing or Executive Coaching.

Our consultants are widely acknowledged as leading voices of the Czech business community and they are able to utilize their professional contacts in order to receive all references necessary for finding the best candidates

Talent mapping

• Constellation Talent Mapping helps organizations to pinpoint exactly where the best talent is working. So, whatever the future demands of a business, whether significant growth or organizational change, they can be met with a pipeline of exceptional candidates.

Talent Mapping works by tracking a sector's high flyers and rising stars. We then create profiles for these individuals and monitor their progress to provide an accurate picture of all the alternatives, before they are needed. This is particularly useful if there is a need to replace key staff in the shortest time.

12

Referencing

• Employing staff can be the best or the worst decision a company will ever make. Reference checking is a critical part of the recruitment process. Through a long-term experience in reference checking within the recruitment industry Constellation consultants have developed an efficient and thorough understanding of the stringent requirements of employment referencing. Constellation offers a highly customized service which enables the client to choose varying levels of Reference and Screening, dependent upon the position and level of responsibility of the prospective employee. References can be taken from a previous employer only through to complete 10 year vetting.

13

Interim management

• Constellation Interim Management offers your company professional or managerial capacities for limited time periods, usually when you need to place a candidate in a specific position temporarily or when organization changes within your company need to be carried out.

Interim management is the temporary provision of management resources and skills. Interim management can be seen as the short-term assignment of a proven interim executive manager to manage a period of transition, crisis or change within an organization. In this situation, a permanent role may be unnecessary or impossible to find on short notice. Additionally, there may be nobody internally who is suitable for, or available to take up, the position in question.

14

Board services

• Building and maintaining an effective and trusted Board is a demanding and complex task for any organization. Many clients turn to Constellation to provide expert analysis, honest counsel, and comprehensive industry knowledge for their Board recruitment needs. Our partners are bringing judgment and insight that can only be gained through years of industry experience. As a strategic partner, we address all questions that are critical to Board success, from governance, compliance and disclosure, to compensation, roles and responsibilities and transparency.
