How To Work Effectively
With Our Search Firm

Communication
The Interview
Offer Time


Communication

• Make a good impression! Have a resume ready or be willing
      to spend time with the recruiter to make sure they
      understand the scope of your experience and background.
      Remember, the recruiter will be representing you to a
      potential employer.

• We won’t present your resume to a company without your
      prior knowledge

• No news is no news – Don’t feel it’s necessary to call the
      recruiter on a daily or weekly basis! You can be assured
      that the recruiter will call you if an appropriate
      opportunity arises. However, if you feel neglected, check in
      periodically with an email or a voice mail.      back to top


The Interview

• It’s our job to prepare you for the interview process, making
      sure you understand the culture of the company
      (personalities, dress code, style of communication, etc) as
      well as the skill set necessary for the job.

• Ongoing communication with the recruiter is essential
      throughout the interview process. Make sure they have a       conversation with you 1 to 2 days prior to the interview.
      After you’ve researched the company, you’ll be
      able to ask any last minute questions and get directions,
      if needed.

• Make a follow up call to the recruiter within 1 hour after the
      end of the interview. If the interview went well and you have
      an interest in the position, it gives the recruiter the opportunity
      to reinforce that interest to the company. If anything you said
      in the interview was misunderstood or inappropriate, it may
      enable the recruiter to overcome those obstacles.      back to top


Offer Time

• When possible, allow the recruiter to negotiate for you.
      That will minimize any animosity that could occur in the
      negotiation process between you and your future employer.

• Should an offer be extended directly to you, consult with your
      recruiter prior to responding to the company to ensure that
      nothing is missed in the offer (benefits, bonus, vacation, etc).

• Once a start date is established, make sure you inform the
      recruiter.

• Your relationship is not over once you start your new job!
      Should there be any concerns, the recruiter may be able to
      step in and resolve them, again minimizing animosity
      between you and your new employer.      back to top
