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’ve dedicated more than 10,000 hours to proactively sourcing and cultivating 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'RE YOUR FULL MINING LIFE CYCLE 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 (Investment/Financing/M&A/Country Risk Assessment/Due Diligence, etc.).
WE CHALLENGE OUR CLIENTS AND FOCUS ON CULTURE/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 up to 80% of company hires are based on subjectively assessing people’s skills, career experience, and a CV alone. Ultimately, 80% leave their jobs due to poor culture 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.
