 Email us your résumé with a brief

to discuss your job search options
before sending us your résumé.
Information gathering
meeting/conversation
If we have a position that fits your
profile, we will most likely request
an in person meeting, in order to
discuss your skills and background.
Your recruiter will give you some
background information on the
company that’s hiring and if
possible, a job description. Please
note that client information and job
descriptions are not to be shared or
distributed unless you get
permission from your recruiter to do
so. Your recruiter will most likely
ask you for a reference list, which
will be used when a client requests
reference information. Usually the
recruiter checks references, but
occasionally the client will perform
this task. |
|
Presenting you to our clients |
Once you have had an in person
meeting with us, and you are deemed
a good fit for the opening, your
résumé will be presented to the
client for consideration. We will
contact you as soon as we hear from
the client company as to whether or
not they are interested in
scheduling an interview. It is our
responsibility to contact and
interface directly with the client
company. Please do not contact the
client company directly!
If for some reason you are contacted
directly by the client company,
please contact us and update us on
any developments. An open line of
communication is critical. |
|
Scheduling Your Interview |
|
Once a client has indicated
interest, you will notify you
regarding date, time, location and
the names/titles of the persons
involved in the interview process.
You should also receive some sort of
background information on some or
all of the interviewers. As an
interviewee, you will be responsible
for doing your own research on the
company and preparing a list of
reasonable questions to ask about
the company and opportunity. For
advice, please read the interviewing
tips on this web site( link)! |
|
Follow
up to your interview |
|
After the interview, please follow
up with your recruiter, as soon as
possible. Your feedback is important
information that your recruiter must
have before talking with the client.
Once the recruiter gets your
feedback and gets a sense of your
interest in pursuing the
opportunity, they will call the
client to get their feedback. If
there is mutual interest, you may be
asked back from a second interview.
A client might ask for references at
this point, if there is a high
degree of interest. |
|
Job
Offers |
 |
If a client is interested in making
you an offer, it will be presented
to you, by your recruiter, verbally
or in a written document. These
days, job offers are typically
emailed in a PDF file to your
recruiter. Your recruiter will email
you the offer and then discuss the
various aspects of the offer with
you. If the offer is accepted, then
your recruiter will directly contact
the client and accept on your behalf
and confirm your start date.
Sometimes you will be advised to
make a personal phone call to the
hiring manager to express your
gratitude and excitement about
joining the company. |

|
Communication is critical |
|
Please keep us in the loop. If you
are getting close to or have
received a job offer from another
company, please let us know. We
don’t want to waste precious time
presenting you to our clients if you
are indeed close to accepting
another offer. |
|
Compensation/Negotiation: |
 As recruiters, our jobs are to help
negotiate compensation packages.
Please be sure to clearly
communicate your compensation
requirements to your recruiter early
on in your discussions.
Be sure to
give your recruiter a clear and
concise summary of your total
compensation package which includes;
annual base salary, bonuses, stock
options/grants, 401K, pension,
health benefits, vacation, health
club/country club, cell phone, lap
top, car/car allowance, educational
allowances, etc.
If our compensation
requirements are out of touch with
reality, your recruiter will let you
know. Don’t expect your future
employer to make up for what you
have not received from your current
employer. Most companies are willing
to pay competitively but are not
keen on giving huge salary increases
to those who have been historically
under paid by their current
employers. If you are thinking of
making a move just for more money,
then you are probably making a
mistake. Money should be secondary
over opportunity, career advancement
and job satisfaction. |
