Riviera Advisors brings a combined 50-plus years of real-world experience leading and managing corporate internal recruiting and staffing functions. With this kind of experience, we’re able to focus our consulting expertise specifically on one key area: Helping organizations improve their Talent Management strategies, capabilities and tools.
For each client assignment, Riviera Advisors offers a number of different services, which include:
Recruitment Process and Organizational Design – Based on a client’s needs and/or direction, we can perform a full, comprehensive audit of a company’s internal recruiting structure, or we can conduct a specifically targeted assessment of one piece of a company’s recruiting function. This “fact finding” mission includes evaluating such key elements as:
- The overall recruiting goals of the organization
- The recruiting team and people involved
- The current processes in place
- The current tools being utilized
- The recruiting budget
- The recruiting metrics used for evaluation
Once the audit is complete, Riviera Advisors will provide a detailed and specific set of recommendations designed to meet the client’s specific needs, whether it’s to increase recruiting speed, reduce cost or create greater efficiencies.
Staffing, Planning and Strategy – Whether a company is experiencing explosive, modest or even no growth, it’s vital that business leaders have a solid strategy and plan to meet their staffing needs. Riviera Advisors will partner with a client to understand both their short-term and long-term staffing needs. Our principals will then map out a strategy and provide the recommended steps, tools and resources necessary to meet those staffing needs, including creating a robust candidate pipeline. Whether a company needs to hire 6,000 employees in three months from entry-level to executive level, or 60 people in a year all at the same level, Riviera Advisors provides the expertise and knowledge needed to help companies effectively source and qualify candidates – even straight through to transitioning candidates to employees.
Recruitment Skill Development – Effective recruiting skills are essential for an organization to achieve its staffing goals. Yet there is an art and a science to effective recruiting. Riviera Advisors can provide customized training and instruction to help anyone whose role touches the staffing function – including recruiters, hiring managers and other Human Resources professionals – become a more skilled recruiter. Our tailored program can provide expert delivery in areas such as:
- How to effectively recruit
- How to effectively screen candidates
- How to effectively source candidates
- How to effectively manage hiring managers and their needs/expectations
Recruitment and Technology Tools – There are literally hundreds of tools and resources available to Human Resources professionals to assist with recruiting needs. But which ones are the best and most effective? Which ones are compatible with your existing processes and culture? Which ones will require extensive employee training? And most importantly, which ones will best meet your organization’s staffing and recruitment goals? Because Riviera Advisors is vendor-neutral and our work focuses solely on providing pure consulting services, we can objectively evaluate, determine and recommend without bias, the right recruitment and technology tools for our clients. We can research, evaluate and recommend tools in the areas of:
- Applicant Tracking
- Talent Management
- Contact (Candidate) Management
- Employee & Recruiter Assessment
- Candidate Sourcing
Interim Staffing Leader (Project Leader) – Companies embarking on or in the midst of a staffing or recruiting organizational change oftentimes need greater personnel support than what they currently have available in-house. Riviera Advisors offers an unparelled depth of real-world expertise in leading corporate recruiting functions. This expertise and experience enables our principals to efficiently and effectively step into an interim staffing leader position for any client. In this role, our principals can manage a client’s recruiting team, help set staffing strategies with company leadership, integrate new recruiting tools, and a myriad other functions related to staffing project leadership.
