WHY STRATUM
WE SPECIALISE IN THE HUMAN ASPECT OF MINING
Mining materially contributes to everyone’s world and future. Our mission is to ensure that the best people carry this responsibility. It’s why we have proactively sourced and cultivated a network of over 7,000 of the top leaders in the business.
We build long-term and meaningful relationships with our clients and candidates by ensuring everything we do is steered and supported by our core values.
How we're different
WE ARE YOUR PARTNER, NOT JUST ANOTHER RECRUITMENT COMPANY
We are a boutique human capital firm covering the full mining life cycle. Clients rely on Stratum’s knowledge, experience and access to de-risk their business, whether entering a market, exploring, developing a project, operating a mine, and all related activities, including investment, financing, M&A, country risk assessment, due diligence, etc.
WE CHALLENGE OUR CLIENTS AND FOCUS ON CULTURAL FIT
What starts well, ends well. We offer experience and data to challenge our clients, helping them reach optimal solutions, thus enabling confident and de-risked decision-making.
And because we’ve interviewed thousands of professionals in a concentrated niche, we know what good (and bad) looks like.
Our research indicates that most company hires are based on subjectively assessing people’s skills, career experience, and a CV alone. Ultimately, many leave their jobs due to poor cultural fit. Yet many traditional mining recruitment firms employ reactive “success-based” recruiting methods.
We’re different. We help you build a strategic approach to hiring “the right fit” people. Because we’ve proactively interviewed and assessed hundreds if not thousands of leaders in each role discipline, we can focus on achieving a good culture fit.
This approach has proven optimal time and time again, to attract and retain the best people that will have the most positive impact on your future.
