Expertise By Specialisation

OCG Consulting is a full service recruitment consultancy, with the capability to source and expertly select specialist permanent, contract and temporary professionals across all functions, industries and levels.

In recent market research conducted by Colmar Brunton, over 200 of our clients were asked: "What is the most important factor in choosing your recruitment partner?"

Responses overwhelmingly showed that the one fundamental need is: "To find a consultant who understands our business."

We have structured our business specifically to respond to this need. This allows us to deliver 'client driven' solutions within the recruitment industry that is typically segmented into:

Large 'generalist' practices that lack deep industry sector knowledge, or

Smaller specialists who lack the research and development necessary today.

Here at OCG we have combined the best of both of these models, melding the 'best practice' training, operating platforms and the search & research aspects of large multi-nationals, with the 'deep sector' and functional knowledge of the smaller boutiques. Our internal teams are grouped by functional and industry sector expertise (refer to the matrix diagram below).

Our consultants draw upon years of direct, frontline experience in a wide range of functional and industry disciplines, and this structure enables the highlest level of specialisation from our consultants, so that they fully understand our client and candidate needs inside and out.

We call this Expertise by Specialisation.

Our cornerstone shareholder, Chandler Macleod, allows access to a tremendous stockpile of IP and comprehensive consulting services encompassing psychometric assessment, leadership, culture, organisational design, executive coaching, outplacement, career transition, talent management and training.

OCG's long-term view has meant that we have many enduring relationships in the market and have partnered our clients through times of changes and 'ups and downs'. We make it our business to understand the market, our clients' culture and fit. As a result, we know our client's businesses intimately, ultimately saving money and time.

This combined with a candidate database developed over 25 years and an industry leading consultant training programme in ‘best practice’ selection methods, ensure the delivery of a comprehensive OCG recruitment solution.

For our clients this means that OCG consultants truly understand the industry they specialist in, know the experience required by potential candidates, are benchmarking candidates everyday so know where the best talent is, are conversant on current market salary rates and most importantly, know who's in the market and where to find them.

For our candidates this means that OCG are their first point of contact. Our consultants are always recruiting for the best roles in their discipline. And we are well positioned to offer career guidance relevant to the candidates' career sectors and where applicable, can provide opportunities for change. We offer a robust and measured recruitment process that assists candidates in their job search process including CV preparation, interview training and candidate marketing.
