The 3H Framework:
Our Complete Methodology

A comprehensive approach to talent acquisition that balances intellectual rigour, emotional intelligence, and practical execution.

Beyond Traditional Recruitment

At 3H-Resources, we believe that exceptional talent acquisition requires more than matching resumes to job descriptions. Our proprietary framework addresses three critical dimensions of successful placement:

  • The intellectual requirements of the role
  • The emotional and cultural dynamics of the organization
  • The practical skills needed for execution.

This holistic approach ensures that every placement creates lasting value for both the organisation and the individual, leading to higher retention rates, better performance, and mutual growth.

Each dimension of our 3H model serves a specific purpose in our evaluation process:

Head

(Managerial Focus)

We assess rational decision-making capabilities, cognitive problem-solving skills, and strategic thinking capacity. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to think critically and approach challenges with curiosity and analytical rigor.

Heart

(Leadership Focus)

We evaluate emotional intelligence, cultural alignment, and the ability to connect authentically with teams and stakeholders. This dimension ensures candidates can lead with empathy and build meaningful professional relationships.

Hands

(Workforce Focus)

We examine practical skills, execution capabilities, and collaborative approach. This ensures candidates can translate strategy into action and work effectively within existing team structures.

Matching Expertise to Role Criticality

Not all roles require the same level of engagement. Our resource deployment matrix ensures we allocate the appropriate level of expertise and attention based on the position’s impact on organizational success.

Proportions:

H = High | M = Medium | L = Low

Our engagement model reflects the criticality of each role:

High-Cadre Resources are deployed for leadership positions that significantly impact organizational direction and culture.

Mid-Cadre Resources focus on managerial roles that bridge strategy and execution.

Low-Cadre Resources efficiently handle essential workforce positions while maintaining our quality standards.

This tiered approach ensures optimal resource allocation while maintaining our commitment to excellence across all engagement levels.
