interviewing techniques? Let us show you how to choose the best candidates
and train your staff how to do the same. We will help you get it right
the first time.
Coaching
- Top
Very few people are able to develop complex skills alone
and unaided. Whether we're talking about music, art, sports, or selling,
most of us need some outside assistance if we hope to improve. We need
a mentor, a guide or a COACH!!! We will help your team discover and
leverage their strengths and identify a course of action to help them
maximize performance.

Employee

managers better than one senior manager? Is overtime costing you more
than you think? We have some of the most advanced research in the country
at our fingertips and we would be pleased to do the calculations so you
can make the most efficient choices.
Exit
Interviews
- Top
Did your employee leave their ID and passwords? Which
projects were only partially finished? Who was that key client contact?
Do you have a morale problem? Find out why your employees are leaving
and what they know. You already paid them so make sure you document what
they actually know. NAFOR can bridge the information gap in this often
uncomfortable but critical task.
Incentive
Plans
- Top
Did you know that praise for a job well done is more important
to most employees than salary increases or bonus vacation time? Did you
know that allowing an employee to have 2 family days off each year could
prevent more than a week of sick pay? Did you know that in-house massage
therapy is often less expensive than a client dinner? Let us use some
of our tried and true ideas to maintain high employee morale and maintain
an inspiring work place.
Interviewing
- Top
What can you learn about a candidate in the first two
minutes of an interview? Do you have time to personally see each applicant?
What is the proper balance between selling your company and having the
candidate sell themselves to your organization? We will conduct face-to-face
interviews on your behalf and present you with a final list of approved
applicants. We will also coach your company on what to look for in the
final interview to make sure everything works out in the long run.
Job
Descriptions
- Top
Often the most mis-used document in your company, the
job description is at the heart of managing expectations and delivering
results. Whether you are hiring for a new position or re-defining current
roles, we can properly define the job description for you. Defining job
expectations and experience requirements are often much more difficult
than they appear on the surface. Is a degree more important than 4 years
of hands-on experience? Is a generalist better suited to the role than
a specialist? Let us do the initial work so you can hire the right talent
every time.
Morale
/ Motivation
-
Top
Are your employees worried about their jobs? Is one 'bad
apple' bringing down the whole team? Are your sick leave and absentee
costs rising? We can analyze the situation from an objective third party
vantage point and drill down to the root cause of pockets of discontent.
Often, money is far down the list of worries faced by staff. We can teach
you subtle, yet highly effective ways to boost morale and increase motivation
throughout your organization.
Outplacement
-
Top
Are you cutting back on staff? Do your employees need
help with their resumes or new career opportunities? Do you want them
to get back on their feet fast? We can assist you with this uncomfortable
situation and we can assist your staff with a new lease on corporate life.
Payroll
Assistance
- Top
Is it better to pay every other Thursday or twice each
month? Does it really matter? Is direct deposit the best solution? Should
your employee's T4 slips be available on-line? We will sort through all
the issues and recommend solutions that can adapt to your changing circumstances
on an ongoing basis.
Productivity
- Top
Are your staff surfing the internet for personal use?
Should you have a weekly meeting or a monthly meeting? How can mobile
technology increase productivity? You would be surprised to learn how
much your profits could increase with a 2% improvement in staff productivity.
Let us scratch the surface for you and point your organization in an improved
direction.
Recruiting
-
Top
Need a new employee? Want to hire the best? Having trouble
locating the perfect candidate? It is better to be patient and hire the
right candidate than to take shortcuts and hire the wrong one. We know
that hiring qualified, competent and experienced staff is one of the most
important decisions an organization can make. Let us help you get it right
the first time - GUARANTEED!!! From resume sorting to reference checking
we can take care of the entire process. All you do is pick the final candidate
from a narrow list of top-notch applicants. Then enjoy the success.
Reference
Checking

Did they finish their MBA? What did their peers 'really'
think of them? Are there any red flags to watch out for? We will make
the calls and provide the documented answers. This laborious yet crucial
final step in the hiring process is best left to us. Rest easy knowing
that all is OK.
Resume
Screening
- Top
Have 600 people applied for 2 openings? Do applicants
have the minimum requirements specified? Are you building a resume database?
Let us narrow down the prospects with our mix of personal expertise and
proprietary electronic sorting techniques. You end up with the candidates,
we take care of the overflow. Either way let the applicants know where
they stand and keep your corporate image high.
Reviews
- Top
Do your managers know how to deliver constructive criticism?
Is the process fair and productive? Is your organization benefiting from
the process or open to a lawsuit from a disgruntled employee? Let us make
the process objective and balanced. A review process done accurately will
enhance the strengths of your employees and minimize their weaknesses.
Scheduling
- Top
Are you wasting time chasing down applicants? Are you
away next week but still need to book a last minute interview? Let us
use our experienced staff and computerized scheduling system to complete
this tedious work. You tell us where and when and we will have the candidate
in front of you for the interview.
