Credo

- Client Management Guidelines
-
- There is no hierarchical relationship between employees and clients; endeavor to interact as equals
- Do everything possible to fulfill a client's trust and meet their expectations
- Rather than simply following a client's instructions, collaborate: think through the problem together, propose new solutions, and aim to outperform expectations
- Do not compromise or give up on communicating with clients. Talk issues through until you come to a mutual agreement.
- Treat the business fortunes of clients from the perspective of a stakeholder: our successes derive from our client's successes
- Recruitment Guidelines
-
- Do not compromise on recruitment even if you are busy and are short of staff
- Candidates should sit for interviews with as many staff as possible and be evaluated using (approx. 2-week) technical examinations
