Using our heads to solve your Reward challenges.
Finding a career that offers more than just a satisfactory paycheck each month is increasingly important; work can have an enormous impact on the quality of our lives. Having a job in which we can thrive, that fits our lifestyle, and provides a degree of challenge can significantly increase our perception of satisfaction. However, it can be challenging to find an optimal match that gives us a sense of fulfilment. Often, candidates experience a bumpy ride of filling out dozens of applications and attending multiple interviews, only to face radio silence and the absence of constructive feedback, if any feedback at all.
A significant number of candidates land a job only to discover that the actual role is not what they signed up for. This could be due to overselling of the position, especially in a competitive market for talent. However, a limited understanding of Reward by in-house or agency recruiters serves as a barrier to accurate job descriptions and effective assessment of applicants' unique work experience and suitability for a particular role, which may also lead to dissatisfaction for the candidate.
Although a degree of challenge and development is often desired, this is very different from being put in an uncomfortable position where someone is unable to meet expectations on a daily basis. This leaves a candidate frustrated and dissatisfied, missing out on potential opportunities that the right job could offer them. Unfortunately, this is still a reality for many Reward candidates in the job market.
We value candidates' time and effort and are firmly committed to pay transparency, so the pay range for every role is clear from the very beginning. Before recommending you for a role, we ensure you are the right match for the client’s needs and the role parameters match your expectations, whether these are development needs, seniority or a preference to work flexibly to achieve your desired work-life balance.
With a broad and deep knowledge of Reward, our consultants have the ability to accurately judge your unique set of skills and Reward-related experience, establishing your suitability for the role that will enable you to maximise your potential and reach your career goals. We provide candidates with feedback on their interview performance and strengths. You may not be a match for the particular position you applied for, but we may see you as a potentially perfect match for future opportunities with other clients.
Based on our Reward expertise, we have developed our own skills and knowledge assessment framework that breaks down Reward skills into specific elements. This allows us to thoroughly assess you on the level of specific technical requirements. This gives us a comprehensive picture but also serves as a great tool for self-assessment, enhancing your awareness of your strengths while highlighting potential areas of development if you aspire to take the next step in your career.
We recognise these challenges and, as a team of Reward experts, we have the capability and the right tools to address them and support candidates in finding the right job that will allow them to excel in their roles - which is a win not only for them but for their employer.
We truly believe that there is no-one better qualified in the market than Reward Heads to accurately assess you as a candidate and ensure we place you in a new role where you can be successful.
You might wonder how we deliver that and what differentiates us from regular recruitment agencies on the market. With extensive Reward expertise and continuous work on projects with clients, we can assess and truly understand the role requirements with and for clients.
Using our bespoke skills and knowledge framework, we ensure that the job opportunities we advertise have clear and robust specifications from the very beginning. We are aware of how crucial this is, especially when the job title is very broad, such as Reward Manager, and the content of the job may differ enormously. Relying on assumptions almost certainly leads to a mismatch, often causing employees and employers to be frustrated and individuals to leave the role that was only recently filled.
In line with our mission to enable everyone to fulfil their potential in and through Reward, we have developed a range of coaching offerings and seek to provide affordable, accessible, quality, and flexible content. We offer self-paced online courses or small group coaching sessions, suited to all experience levels. The latter stimulates debates and creates opportunities for networking too. The courses cover subjects such as Benchmarking, Benefits, or Gender Pay Gap Reporting, always finishing with quizzes and thought-provoking questions.
