Why Ratio?

The name "Ratio" was born out of a desire and commitment to focus on critical business success ratios pertinent to our and our client's businesses, such as:

• Maintaining a low as possible ratio of candidates selected and interviewed by our clients to successful candidates employed. Our specialist consultants gain a clear understanding of the Job Specifications and carefully match the competencies and personal fit of prospective candidates to the client's requirements. As a result of this we achieve cost effective sustainable successful placements that assist our clients in achieving and maintaining as low as possible cost - to income ratios and strong return on human capital employed ratios.
• Through working closely together with and as an extension of their business, we assist our clients in creating a diversified work force in order to achieve acceptable Employment Equity ratios and standards.
• Developing our comprehensive database and through ongoing advertising and rigorous search and selection we ensure a high ratio of high potential candidates as prospects for placement.

We regard ratios such as these to be important to the growth and superior performance of our client companies and through focussing on them we strive to provide an ongoing value added service. We aim to develop long-term relationships with our clients and candidates through consistently delivering a superior level of service and developing our level of expertise in our respective specialist business areas.
