During their initial career job search, potential clients
often are often frustrated by the response they receive from the
published market and recruiters, amazed and confused that a
professional with their impressive qualifications could be consistently
ignored or overlooked.
Let’s follow the likely career job search path of an executive opening
at a given corporation: the word is out, the HR department has prepared
the job order/candidate specs and both internal and external career
recruiting teams are rolling up their collective sleeves to search for
the right candidate.
The executive search and recruiting teams are provided a
detailed list of position prerequisites and they will (depending upon
the sensitivity of the position) post the opportunity on an internal
job board, in the public career section of their website and also work
with confidential executive search and recruitment firms.
Many times they will post career opportunities on the large public
boards such as Monster, Career Builder, Dice, Hot Jobs, etc. Due
to the efficiency of internet job search engines, companies like Nike,
IBM, AT&T, Apple, etc. usually receive up to 20,000 résumés
for a single job. If it is an executive recruiting firm like MRI,
H&S or Korn Ferry, around 5,000 résumés will be received.
Statistically, only 10% of those résumés will be read by a person.
Why Your Career Job Search Can Be Challenging If You Lack the Proper Help
The first filters used are typically 1) Employed vs.
Unemployed (two stacks are made). 2) Preferred Degree or No
Preferred Degree. All the employed candidates from the first
stack are now separated into two new stacks. Candidates who are
both unemployed and have a degree at a lower level than what is
specified are SOL. (So Out of Luck). It is very sad that
when a career job search leads candidates to apply for opportunities on
the internet, years of career expertise and millions of dollars worth
of accomplishments and positive impact on employer profits are largely
ignored.
Rather than marketing your value proposition directly to the company by
chasing publicly posted jobs, like 99% of the planet does, mindlessly
pointing and clicking on the internet, we will market you directly to
the key decision makers in each targeted company. When dealing
with opportunities from our alumni, executive search and recruiting
partners and companies who ask us to help them find a qualified
executive, we always perform both written and verbal introductions to
assist you in getting both feet in the door.
We are highly effective because we reach 100% of the job market and
work for you, keeping the best interests of your career in mind at all
times during your search for new opportunities.
