With Candidates

Trust is the foundation of good business relationships. Candidates trust us to provide experienced guidance, experience guided with integrity. We’ve assessed thousands of candidates to help them understand their options and achieve their goals.

Earning mutual trust is essential to working well together. It’s also essential to our future and is one reason we’ve enjoyed success in the marketplace for over twenty years.

Maintaining candidate trust also enables us to sustain a good reputation in the marketplace. A good reputation is invaluable, yet can’t be bought. Among the dividends it pays are:

  • The best employers will often work only with ethical recruiting firms. The opportunities we can present to you come from premier employers of choice.
  • A good reputation also gives us access to the best candidates. Many of them will only partner with the best firms.
  • Many candidates we help were referred to us by other candidates we’ve previously helped. Referrals are our lifeblood. Candidates won’t refer a colleague to a firm they don’t trust.

In turn, the candidates we work with, 1) strive for high ethical standards, 2) are exceptionally strong and committed to excellence, 3) are serious about exploring opportunities. As a candidate, how you present yourself to our clients reflects not only on your personal brand, but on our firm as well.

If you’d like to start a conversation, send us an inquiry from the candidate contact tab. We’ll follow up with a confidential contact. We’d like an opportunity to earn your trust. In turn, you’ll have an opportunity to evaluate us.

The comments below are excerpts from the ‘comments’ section on our evaluation forms. We expect your experience will be like other candidates we’ve helped. It’s the way we done business for over 20 years.

 

Comments from candidates we’ve helped in their jobs and their careers

 

“You were great to work with… You analyzed my resume, gave me solid advice and helped me get a great opportunity. I would highly recommend you. ”

Placed as Manager, FP&A with Fortune 500 manufacturing firm.

 

As you already know, I enjoyed my job until they hired a new manager. You gave me some excellent pointers to help me work with her in a healthy way. I feel like she benefitted as a first time manager from your ideas too. She could use some time with you also!

Coaching client

 

“I was impressed with the way you work. You understood your clients’ needs, took the time to understand mine and worked carefully to make sure it was a good fit. I will use your firm when it’s time for me to hire.

Placed as Audit Director, Fortune 500 manufacturing firm.

 

“I thoroughly enjoyed your insights. Clearly, you’ve done this a long time and are good at what you do. But what I appreciated most was your integrity. The approach you recommended was a bulls eye and not one I would have seen. Your ability to coach me through some difficult circumstances was invaluable.”

Coaching client

 

“You are one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. You took the time to understand my situation and didn’t pressure me into a job that wouldn’t have worked. You asked good questions and listened carefully to my ideas. I was comfortable with your approach and it obviously worked.

Placed as BU Controller, 800 MM manufacturing division

 

“….I learned a great deal about interviewing and assessing ‘the fit’, much moreso than every other recruiter I worked with. The preparation materials you provided were outstanding. It’s a big part of why I aced the interview and was offered the job. Helping me negotiate a great package was also appreciated.”

Placed as Assistant Controller, large financial services company

 

“I still can’t believe how much time you spent helping me, especially considering I decided not to move right now. But when the time is right, you’re the first person I will call.”

Coaching client

 

“I get 3-4 messages a week from recruiters. For some reason, I returned yours. I’m glad I did. Your approach was totally different. You weren’t some kind of salesman selling me a job. I’ve already passed your information onto two people.”

Big 4 person placed as Corporate Accounting Manager, privately held large service company

 

“You have a knack for nailing it. During our conversations, I’d go on and on. In one sentence, your assessment got right to the heart of my problem. It also gave me the insight I needed to see and the way out of my situation. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.”

Coaching client

 

“….You worked off a thorough, detailed process. You covered all the bases…. There were no surprises… no arm-twisting guilt trips that other recruiters have tried to use on me. Your approach is totally different.   I’ve recommended you several times to other associates… You’re the first person I think of on career issues”.

Placed as Assistant Corporate Controller, Fortune 500 multi-national company

 

“Neil is the consummate consultant. He asks thought-provoking questions, listens and offered me some helpful insights into my career options. Even though I’m a CPA/MBA, they didn’t teach me how to use or market my skills in school, or how to present them during an interview for that matter. The process you outlined I can use the rest of my career. Thank you so much for all your assistance”.

Helped transition into Fortune 500 international manufacturing company
