Detailed briefing
Datum learns the technical and practical detail behind the vacancy before beginning the search.
A more relevant shortlist
The job title is only the starting point.
A CNC Miller working on one-off aerospace components is a different requirement from a production machinist running repeat work. Datum takes time to understand the difference.
Each assignment begins with a detailed discussion covering the actual work, machines, controls, materials, tolerances, programmes, shift pattern, salary and the type of person likely to succeed in the team.
That information drives a targeted search and a more useful candidate conversation before any CV is introduced.
