You may just submit your CV to info@silenus.com.hk. We suggest that you provide your salary information, together with a photo, in your CV. Cover letter is not necessary.
You will receive a confirmation after we have received your CV. All our consultants will be able to view your information in 2 to 3 days after the information has been processed. They will contact you directly if we have openings that we think you may be interested in. Sometimes, we may not be able to contact you shortly. That does not mean there is a problem with your profile. Very often, it is because we do not have any suitable opening on hand. Your profile will be kept on record for future job matching. Bear in mind, job changing is a serious issue and a good match always takes time. We do not aim to provide one off service but strive to be your lifelong partner in career development.
In order to maximize the opportunities you get, our consultants have access to one common candidate database. They handle different openings offered by different clients. So you may receive calls from various consultants. This may cause you some inconvenience, so we will jot down the significant points in conversation to avoid consultants asking you duplicated questions.
During the meeting, we will ascertain your areas of knowledge, experience, career aspirations and personal interests. You may have noticed that we refer this to "meeting" instead of "interview" because we are not the one who judges your suitability. We offer you solutions / directions to your next job. Be relaxed and open during the meeting.
The answer is a straight no. Your information will only be shared within Silenus. We will only share you information with outside parties with your consent.
You may not be interested in all the openings we propose. We respect your decision but we hope to know your reason behind that so that we can have a better understanding of your career preference.
To help you be better prepared, we will brief you on the client's recruitment process and practice. Besides job responsibilities and requirements of the client, we will also suggest a strategy for the interview.
You can share your thoughts and ideas with our consultant. We will recommend a counter offer based on the market salary index. As a usual practice, you are suggested to let us know how your expectation has changed after the first interview.
You should resign after receiving document of offer from the employer via our consultant. We also provide resignation consultation to candidates in order to avoid damage to the relationship between you and your existing employer. We will help you maintain a positive image with your existing employer and achieve smooth transition of responsibilities.
You can share the situation with your consultant. We can act as a communication platform with you and the employer. We will discuss with you and seek your consent before we take any action.. In the worst scenario, we can recommend other openings to you.
There is no extra effort needed. You can just share what you have on hand with our consultant in the first conversation. We comply with strict confidentiality policy so you don’t have to worry about the sensitivity of the information.. Positive information helps us find the suitable candidate. Negative information provides insights into the stability of candidates.
We will discuss with you our targeted candidate pool and estimation of time needed to shortlist the first round of candidates within 1 working day after we receive sufficient information from you. Normally, we will propose 2 to 3 candidates in the first round. Candidates will be sent to you one by one.
For the convenience of the candidate, a maximum of two consultants will meet with the same candidate. Other consultants will get the information from these consultants. We have a state-of-the-art information sharing system.
If you have records that the candidate applied for the same position in the previous 6 months, you can just tell your consultant and he or she will drop the profile of that candidate.
We don’t mind you contacting the candidate throughout the process but this may weaken our role as a neutral third party to get commitment from the candidate. For your most benefit, we recommend that you let us do the job for you.
