At Kratav, we believe in precision over volume. Our comprehensive recruitment process ensures that every candidate who reaches your desk is a carefully vetted, high-potential match for your specific requirements. Below is a detailed breakdown of our proven methodology.
 

Phase 1: Job Description Intake

Understanding Your Exact Needs

Our recruitment specialists begin by conducting an in-depth consultation to fully understand your hiring requirements. This initial phase is critical to our success and involves:

• Comprehensive JD Analysis: We review your job description line-by-line, identifying key skills, experience levels, cultural fit requirements, and any specific industry knowledge needed.

• Requirement Clarification: Our team asks targeted questions to uncover unstated requirements, preferred backgrounds, team dynamics, and growth expectations for the role.

• Role Context Discussion: We discuss the reporting structure, team size, project types, and long-term career path to ensure candidates understand the full opportunity.

• Timeline & Expectations Setting: We establish realistic timelines for delivery and set clear expectations for communication throughout the process.
   

Client Involvement: Active participation in initial consultation and requirement refinement

Phase 2: Candidate Sourcing & Pre-Screening

Strategic Talent Identification

Our sourcing strategy combines multiple channels and advanced screening techniques to identify the most relevant candidates:

• Multi-Channel Sourcing: We leverage job boards, professional networks, industry databases, employee referrals, and our extensive talent pool to identify potential candidates.

• Proactive Headhunting: For specialized roles, our recruiters actively reach out to passive candidates who may not be actively job searching but possess the exact skills you need.

• Initial Screening Calls: Every potential candidate undergoes a preliminary screening call to assess basic qualifications, communication skills, availability, and genuine interest in the opportunity.

• Resume Verification: We verify employment history, educational qualifications, and key achievements to ensure accuracy and authenticity.

• Salary & Location Alignment: We confirm salary expectations and location preferences match your requirements before proceeding further.

Quality Filter: Only candidates who pass our initial screening criteria move to the next phase, ensuring no time is wasted on unsuitable profiles.

 

Client Involvement: Minimal - we handle all sourcing and initial filtering
 

Phase 3: First-Round Interviews & Shortlisting

Rigorous Evaluation & Skills Assessment

This is where our expertise truly shines. Our experienced interviewers conduct comprehensive evaluations to ensure only the best candidates proceed:

• Structured Behavioral Interviews: We use competency-based interview techniques to assess problem-solving abilities, leadership potential, teamwork skills, and cultural alignment.

• Technical Skills Evaluation: For technical roles, we conduct role-specific assessments covering programming languages, tools, frameworks, system design, or domain expertise as required.

• Communication & Presentation Skills: We evaluate verbal and written communication abilities, presentation skills, and the candidate's ability to articulate complex concepts clearly.

• Motivation & Career Goals Assessment: We assess genuine interest in your company, long-term career aspirations, and alignment with the role's growth trajectory.

• Reference Checks: We conduct informal reference checks with previous employers or colleagues to validate performance and work style.

Shortlisting Criteria: Only candidates who excel across all evaluation parameters make it to our final shortlist. We maintain our commitment of never sending more than 10 resumes per position.

Client Involvement: None required - our team handles all interviews and evaluations
 

Phase 4: Hire Right Assessment & Client Selection
