HOW WE OPERATE

Our process

Elevated Strategies for Finding and Hiring Exceptional Talent.

At the start of all new DNA partnerships, we produce a Statement of Work. It’s a document we periodically loop back to. It's a framework that keeps us focused on the most important talent work we want to get done. It defines the scope of our remit and the specific processes and projects that we own, drive and succeed on together.

In order to hire effectively, aligning on processes and identifying anywhere we can help streamline ways of working will help with reducing time to hire in the long run. This process includes reworking job descriptions, designing interview processes and defining key candidate touch-points.

Once we have a clear plan and know what we are looking for, we will start building out projects of prospect talent, and start the process of engaging with potential candidates. We will craft bespoke reach out messages for each role and start searching the market for the most suitable talent.

Our cloud-based video interview technology helps us to qualify and and create a shortlist of the most suitable candidates for you to review.

With our DNA Adapt recruitment solution, our DNA team will conduct the initial first interview and provide you with the option to review all the recordings of these interviews.

With our DNA Evolve recruitment solution, our DNA team will conduct an advanced first-stage interview and provide an executive assessment of the candidates.

Once you've found the ideal candidate who meets your needs and requirements, we seamlessly guide you through the process of extending an offer. From offer submission to contract signing, we will provide all the necessary assistance, ensuring a smooth transition in welcoming the new addition to your team.

The keyword that I would use to describe DNA is pro-active. Ali was fantastic at approaching the types of organisations that would make a perfect fit for my aspiration. He did so from the point of real understanding. He spent time understanding my experience and what I could bring to an organisation, and what I was looking for from my next appointment. Ali understands the business and the role, and I found him insightful as we discussed my next move. Fast forward ten years, and I still love it!

Stephen rapidly provided a range of great candidates for a senior sales role utilising-DNAs platform so succinct first interviews were provided. These could be viewed, discussed internally and re-reviewed prior to shortlisting for final interviews. The main challenge was the selection decisions as all the professionals proposed were excellent.

I was highly recommended to meet Ali Wallace 19 years ago after working for a few agencies and looking for a new challenge – Ali was full of great advice, very focused on cultural fit and well connected to agency leaders. Within days I was meeting the co-founders of TLC Worldwide and rapidly offered a role as an Account Director. Since then, I have been on an incredible journey around the world with TLC, for almost 2 decades. I would strongly recommend anyone in marketing to speak to Ali about hiring great talent or looking for an exciting role.

I first engaged with DNA when Ali and his team visited UAE 10 years ago where he and the team were looking to place some very talented positions into Grey Group in Dubai. Within minutes I understood that DNA’s agency knowledge, insight and global spread was impressive, and the team had obviously done some very thorough research on candidacy and needs. Ever since then, DNA has always been engaged, looking for opportunities for my staffing needs and reassuringly, looking for the right opportunities for myself, aiding my personal creative journey. Ali recently presented me with a ‘glove’ opportunity, where the brief could have literally been written with myself in mind, and through a very interpersonal approach, DNA coached and facilitated everything needed to make the introduction and interview process an informative, pleasurable and successful experience. Always reassuring to have a team who are driven and knowledgeable, who research positions that don’t just fit, but can immerse candidates seamlessly into creative organisations – DNA is an apt naming moniker for a personal partnership like this.

In the world of advertising, you’re only as good as the people around you. Having led creative departments for some of London’s leading agencies throughout my career, Ali Wallace is the epitome of this, and on many fronts. He has helped me find talent to make me look great for well over 15 years and introduced me to Trouble Maker, which he knew would be my dream home. All this has been made possible by Ali getting to know how I tick as a human being and creative leader, by building both a great friendship and trusted ear – he has been an amazing counsel both in business and in life, helping me navigate my way through my career and beyond. Whether you’re looking to hire, be hired, or fancy some thoroughly enjoyable company at the Oval or for someone to find your ball(s) on the golf course, I couldn’t recommend Ali more highly.

The process was inspiring and my recruiter, Yasir, felt more like my spokesperson than a recruiter. We created a video CV through the DNAScreen platform, which allowed me to demonstrate my experience and abilities as a "Video CV" for the client which helped push for exactly what I was looking for: my dream job. Communication was cogent and I was kept well informed throughout the process. It's easy to lose talent to nerves, so I recommend DNA's approach to recruitment.
