CANDIDATES:
OUR PROCESS
Initial Call
An initial telephone conversation will help us determine how we can best provide you with career assistance. We’ll cover details such as reasons for a career change, compensation requirements and types of opportunities you’re interested in.
Recruiter Interview
Prior to meeting with us, you’ll receive information explaining how to prepare for our meeting and what to expect. During the interview, we’ll explore your employment history, skill sets, compensation targets and most suitable work environments.
Interview Tips
Typically, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. So, we offer any advice about a wide range of topics, such as the proper handshake, body language, eye contact and attire. We may conduct a ‘mock interview’ to determine how you react in a job interview. To improve your interviewing skills, we’ll give you guidance, suggestions, relevant information and a take-home worksheet.
Résumé Tips
Studies show that recruiters or hiring officials spend an average of only eight to ten seconds reviewing each résumé before deciding whether or not to consider a candidate for a position. Your résumé often is the first thing an HR representative will see and know about you. Correctly written, your résumé can give you a competitive edge during your search for a new career opportunity. The correct font size, formatting and content showcasing your talents is essential. There are other components that factor into a résumé that effectively highlight your skills and experience. In fact, you may not even be aware of them. That’s why it’s so important to work with us. We’ll partner with you to review your résumé and provide personalized feedback to best highlight your talents and make your résumé as effective as possible.
Résumé Submission
You must give us your permission to submit your résumé for each appropriate opportunity. So, when we contact you regarding an opening, please reply as quickly as possible. During our conversation, we’ll give you an overview of the prospective company, a job description, a compensation figure and other pertinent information. Your résumé will be submitted for consideration only after you authorize us.
Client Interview
Once we arrange an interview with our client, we’ll give you a document containing all pertinent information about the company, management team, job, benefits and key skills required for consideration. We’ll also include your salary requirements that we shared with the client. This information will help you properly prepare for the process of ‘selling’ yourself during the interview. You’ll contact us immediately following the interview for feedback about your interview experience. It’s our goal to gain a thorough understanding of your interest level prior to the extension of an offer.
Reference Checks
Professional reference checks are discretely and confidentially conducted. References are provided by candidates.
Employment Offer
When an offer is forthcoming, we’re with you every step of the way! It’s standard procedure for us to represent you throughout the negotiation process. We’ll work to secure the best and most equitable offer that’s in line with current market value. We want you to accept your new role with enthusiasm and the feeling that you’ll be valued in your next career opportunity.
Follow-Up
We’re still with you even after you’ve started in your new role. To ensure a smooth transition as you and your new employer get to know each other better, we maintain ongoing contact with both you and the hiring official for approximately 60 days. You’re encouraged to use us as a resource and sounding board in the unlikely event that any concerns or challenges arise.
Let’s talk.
We’re here to help you find the right fit, whatever the reason: career ambition, passively making a move if the position advances your career, unhappiness in current position due to culture, lack of opportunity or work-life balance, or even if you’re unemployed due to a lay-off or company sale. We look forward to getting to know you.
Always Confidential
