Human Resources Services
Assistance and support through customer-driven services based on a good understanding of the metabolism of each company.
Human resources are the most valuable resource that a company has in any field of activity.
The key to success for any organization is employees who not only have the skills to occupy a particular position, but also align with the values of the organization, fully understanding and adopting its culture.
Ascent Group provides customers with the support they need to find the best candidates through services that streamline the selection and recruitment process and support their training and development through high quality courses.
Moreover, our goal is to adapt services to the specific characteristics of each company by providing support in terms of personnel management and pay, labor law issues, outplacement, restructuring or work conflict mediation.
Selection and recruitment of staff
Finding the best candidates is most often the key to success for organizations. Ascent Group offers selection and recruitment services based on a very good understanding of client needs and the organizations' metabolism, in order to choose the people best suited for its development. In the selection process we use psychoaptitudinal and professional tests that help us choose the right candidates to recommend to our customers.
Executive search and headhunting
In the top management or highly specialized positions in organizations, classic recruitment methods based on announcements often do not reach the most suitable candidates. Through the executive search services, the consultants of Ascent Group, relying on their own network of contacts and recommendations, target the most valuable candidates in the market and present them to their customers. Through headhunting services, the Ascent Group consultants contact candidates who are directly targeted by the client and cannot otherwise be approached, or facilitate collaboration between the parties.
Staff assessments
Ascent Group assists companies with personnel assessment services, both in recruitment processes by identifying the best candidates for a role, and in choosing the most suitable candidates within the organization for promotion or in restructuring processes. We also provide assessment center services for business projects where you want to assess a set of skills. Ascent Group holds numerous personnel rating licenses, such as Identity Compass, LIFO, Belbin, some of theme exclusively owned in Romania or other Eastern European countries.
Personnel administration and payroll
Personnel and salary administration services include the drawing up of employment contracts and amendments, the procedures for recording documents with the competent institutions, the drawing up of staff files, the keeping up to date of REVISAL, informing customers of legislative changes which have occurred, and the calculation of salaries, preparation and submission of all tax returns, i.e. drawing up and recording compulsory reports on state institutions (social security fund, unemployment, health, wage and contribution payments, etc.) and specific reports requested by clients.
Personnel leasing
Personnel fluctuations create a lot of uncertainty in organizations. The staff leasing services we offer give employers the possibility to reduce their risks, by ""renting"" additional staff only during periods when they have increased activity or new projects. The personnel leasing services also help the organization transfer the bureaucratic part of the work relationships to Ascent Group: Preparation and registration of employment contracts and changes, salary calculation, tax payments, periodic reporting, etc.
Outplacement services
There are also difficult times when companies have to give up some of their employees. It is very important that such situations are treated with care towards those who need to be made redundant. Ascent Group offers outplacement services, where it provides a package of support services for employees who are going through such a difficult situation: advice for finding a new job, assessments to identify opportunities for professional development, specialization or skill development courses, business start-up advice.
Recruitment of non-EU workers
The identification of local staff for some activities often becomes difficult. In such situations, the company's growth is at risk, with a lack of human resources being a major bottleneck. With the help of reliable partners in many countries around the world, such as Vietnam, Sri Lanka and India, but also in closer countries such as Serbia and Moldova, Ascent Group supports the recruitment of non-EU staff by identifying suitable candidates, according to the client companies' request and with all formalities for their employment in Romania (obtaining a work permit, a long-stay visa, a residence permit for employment, etc.)
Restructuring and reorganization of companies
Business dynamics and market uncertainties sometimes lead organizations to restructure or reorganize, either to survive external pressure and reduce costs, or to move to a new level: create more flexible structures and innovate. Ascent Group consultants have over 20 years of experience in restructuring and reorganization projects of companies, including large companies of over 5,000 people in post-privatization restructuring projects. Our team gives you advice on both the legal ways of managing restructuring or reorganization situations, as well as on the evaluation and rethinking of existing processes and flows, and on the assessment of staff and their compatibility with the new requirements, etc.
Workplace conflict mediations
Workplace relations are never simple, and in large organizations, where employees' representatives or trade unions are strong and experienced, the regular negotiation of collective agreements and the management of conflict situations with employees are often very challenging for organizations. Ascent Group consultants have over 20 years of professional experience in workplace conflict mediator consulting, with notable results in managing difficult situations for many important organizations, including in corporate restructuring or strikes.
Consultancy on matters related to labor law
The drafting of employment contracts, internal rules and collective agreements should not be a stress factor. Through the labor law consultancy services, Ascent Group offers you support on legal issues related to labor law, from the drafting of various documents required by law to carry out employment reports with employees, to assistance in labor disputes or negotiations in connection with employment reports.
Coaching and personal development
Employee training must be a permanent concern of any company. Lifelong learning and the continuous acquisition of new skills and competences will be key to the future.
At Ascent Group, we have 15 years of experience in delivering high quality courses, tailored to the needs of our clients, in fields such as developing managerial and leadership skills, developing communication skills, creativity and innovation, developing entrepreneurial skills, financial management.
