Range of Services
 
  Temporary Work

Nowadays, companies have to strive for more flexible and competitive structures. Many of them have realized, however, that to be able to respond to periods when activity increases or decreases, taking advantage of temporary work is the best possible solution. That’s why Doing More with Less is a clear competitive advantage, which in itself can increase productivity levels in the short term.

Benefits

  • Decrease in fixed staff costs, as they become variable and adapted to real needs at any specific moment.
  • More flexible staff structure, as the workforce is adapted to handle production levels required to meet specific market demand at any given moment.
  • Increase in productivity and competitive levels as all major efforts are channeled to the core business.
  • Rapid response in finding the right candidate for the right job in a short space of time.


Outsourcing

The reality of today’s business environment makes it imperative for companies to become more efficient in the management of their human resources. Attracting, maintaining and developing highly-skilled professionals, who are constantly up-to-speed on the latest technologies, can be a very costly and difficult exercise. Outsourcing is a modern and strategic management tool considered pivotal in any competitive company, providing very clear benefits.

Benefits

  • Ability to focus on the Core Business, giving total control over costs and promoting improved efficiency.
  • Same internal headcount can be maintained, irrespective of any possible increase in demand and consequent desirable production increases.
  • Eliminates all recruitment, selection and legal costs associated with staff procurement and placement.
  • Eliminates the need for and cost of training programs, as well as the costs of lower levels of productivity related to new staff adaptation.
  • Flexibility when facing variations in volume, duration and nature of projects, without any need to recruit or reorganize internal staff.
  • The guarantee of an immediate replacement of staff allocated to Outsourcing during periods when demand decreases.
  • Total autonomy in the management of staff allocated to specific projects, with the perfect integration of the outsourced team into the client’s permanent staff, in every case where an increase in demand justifies it.

Recruitment and Selection

Recruiting staff with profiles not up to required levels of performance leads to loss of productivity and money in any specific operation. In fact, losses to be taken into account are also related to deviations from normal production processes and the negative impact on a company’s internal and external environment.

Benefits

  • Support from highly-qualified professionals
  • Access to very complete and pre-screened database
  • Use of latest and regularly updated methodologies
  • Strategic use of a Key Skills and Attributes model
  • Speed in developing and concluding processes
  • A guarantee period after hiring has taken place
  • Focus on results

Evaluation and Selection tools

We develop fair, precise, objective, and tailor-made evaluation methodologies, in partnership with multinational groups, adapted to specific functions, as well as to the Portuguese market.

We have available

  • More than 200 tests that evaluate technical skills in the area of new technologies, allowing you to identify and select the people with the most potential at any given moment or place.
  • Tests that evaluate skills on the use of software and aptitudes, such as handwriting or arithmetical calculation that simulate administrative tasks and situations such as filing and reception.
  • Personality assessment that can be adapted in a quick and practical way to the skill profile defined for each situation.

 

Customized Training

One of the challenges facing the development of companies is the promotion of competitiveness. The improvement of competitiveness takes into consideration relevant efforts in the improvement of Human Resource management practices that depend directly from good training standards.

Benefits

  • Lays groundwork for objectives to be met or, ideally, overcome.
  • Increases performance levels of both the company and its staff, contributing to an overall improvement in quality.
  • Eliminates erosion of productivity, by working with the right staff already adapted to the company’s own characteristics and motivation.
  • Improves the company’s standing with internal staff, with positive rub-off on external partners.
  • Preserves harmonious working relations, maintaining morale and confidence in every one’s potential.
  • Develops procedures adapted to the market’s acceptance and needs.
  • Promotes internal motivation.

Quality

Employing a strategy of Quality Certification, this Group has already certified Vedior PsicoEmprego and Select Recursos Humanos according to the NP EN ISO 9001:2000 standard for the provision of temporary staffing.

SGS

Pursuing continuous improvement, we are permanently aware not only of our Clients' needs for Total Satisfaction, but also those of our Temporary Workers.


Outplacement

Currently, it is normal for a company to increase or decrease its headcount in order to adjust to market variations and stay competitive. These situations invariably bring to a company a sense of a lack of job-security, accompanied by a drop in productivity from the remaining staff, while making it difficult to integrate new staff members. Outplacement is the best way to deal with this situation, with very clear benefits for both companies and employees.

Benefits

  • Demonstrates clearly that the company acts in a proper and responsible way toward its employees.
  • Promotes a more favorable image in the marketplace
  • Maintains the quality of performance and motivation of company’s remaining staff.
  • Preserves the internal spirit, through a transparent process.
  • Avoids loss of motivation, so characteristic of restructuring projects developed internally.

Career Management

Moments of change should be looked upon as career opportunities or challenges. In light of that, objective, confidential and individual counseling may help to improve existing opportunities, as it is no longer pertinent to think in terms of "career progression".

Fairplace offers a wide range of Career Management Services

  • Our programs are directed at specific matters and can be structured on a flexible basis, adapted to each individual case.
  • Consequently, they are designed to match each person’s professional goals and aspirations to the needs of the company in which they are working.
