Recruitment
We find them – we motivate them – we assess them
Together, we create the future
Populos provides recruitment solutions with a focus on analysis and structure.
Using search, we work with recruitment of top executives, specialists and board members – profiles that are usually hard to find.
We find them – and we understand what motivates them.
Both the public and private sectors need skilled managers and employees who can generate results and who fit in with the company’s culture and strategic goals. Often they need to be identified among a small selection of qualified candidates, and geographic considerations can make it difficult to attract the best candidates.
Hiring a new employee is an investment. Therefore, recruitment has to lead to long-term gain – both for the company and the candidate. We will find the ideal person who could be the key to your future success.
It is important that the individual recruitment is considered within a greater perspective for the organisation. Because of this, Populos always offers to carry out the recruitment within a strategic framework.
What motivates managers and specialists?
Populos has a comprehensive understanding of what motivates managers and specialists to change jobs. In a research study in 2014, Rikke Krogh analysed 2,700 candidates from jobindex.dk’s user panel. The title of the study is: “What drives them?”
The report is a comprehensive qualitative analysis of what it takes for managers and specialists to change jobs. The analysis constitutes Populos’ theoretical foundation and reference framework, and it has led to the development of a job motivation model, which we use to uncover the potential motivation factors of the candidates.
The Populosconcept
The Populos concept is our DNA, and it is an integrated part of our recruitment process. The Populos concept consists of two elements:
– A thorough analysis of the job design for the specific job.
– A benchmark of the specific job against corresponding positions on the job market.
Populos’ model for job design and motivation factors was developed on the basis of a number of leading theories on job motivation, combined with the results of a comprehensive study of the most important motivation factors for switching jobs. See the analysis here
The analysis of the job design means that we dig deeper than the professional requirements and work tasks, for instance by identifying the job factors that motivate candidates.
Analysis of the job design is part of the preliminary analysis. This, combined with thorough research of the competencies available on the job market and in light of the newest theories on job-related motivational factors, ensures that we systematically attract and activate relevant profiles.
The master’s thesis “What drives them” is a qualitative study of motivational factors in candidates (both managers and specialists). The thesis forms the foundation of our methodology concerning job design and the Populos concept.
