Advancing Your Career

We open new doors for you.

A very low percentage of positions are actually filled through company job boards and employment websites. And many job openings are never listed online. Because we have inside connections, we’re aware of opportunities that aren’t advertised or even known to the public and can significantly improve your chances of getting your ideal job. We’ve developed close relationships with hundreds of top companies and organizations in many industries, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.

We’re here to serve and guide.

We’ll provide valuable advice, insight, feedback and connections to help you take the next big step in your career. We know that role, pay, benefits, location, environment, who you’ll be working with, culture fit and career advancement and goals are all important to you. We’ll listen. Then we’ll present you with appropriate opportunities and counsel on offers. We’ll never pressure you to accept an offer you’re not interested in and will work with you to find the right fit.

We’re real people who care.

One of our expert recruiters will work with you one-on-one. Our hope is to develop a meaningful, beneficial and long-lasting relationship with you. We’ll provide you with personalized service to land a rewarding job and advance your career. You’ll never feel like a number or just another candidate. It’s essential that we build  rapport and a trusting relationship. You must be up-front, honest, open to our suggestions and serious about following through on our well-intended recommendations. We’re your partner.

OUR CANDIDATE 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.
