Our service delivery approach is virtually the same for corporately sponsored
candidates and individuals who engage us on their own.

We have helped over 1,000 professionals get better jobs ...


Nowadays, anyone can find an opportunity worth considering. How you handle yourself and the process will make the difference. Differentiating starts with the first contact. Candidates must have a strong and clear personal brand – represented with a confident self-presence, impressive resume and correspondence – and a highly engaging approach to dialog.

Resumes, correspondence, and dialog tell people much more than where one has worked and what they have done. All communication must be an impressive and true reflection of the person.

Resumes don’t get people jobs – the person with their name at the top of the page has to know what do. Our candidates gather momentum quickly and get in front of the right people.

We have written thousands of resumes and job search letters that have helped candidates get interviews – and great new jobs.

Our Approach Makes You Stand Out

Rediscovery

We help you develop the clearest-ever understanding of yourself and what you bring to the table. It’s all about getting away with being who you really are – and getting others to learn and like a great deal about you and your talents. We make sure you are comfortable discussing what makes you the model candidate.

We concentrate on what makes you most employable and valuable. What’s your story … your value proposition … and how do you share it?

Taking Ownership

Candidates need to rediscover what makes them most employable and valuable – and then immediately take ownership of their overall campaigning project. With the clearest ever understanding of what makes them a strong candidate, each professional needs to build and be proud of their communication strategy.

Candidates must articulate their strengths while associating them with the needs of the prospective employer. They must proactively offset perceivable liabilities and work with a level of energy and authenticity that signals how confident and proud they really are.

Establishing Stipulations

Our approach here surprises many people. Our experience with over 1,000 well qualified men and women puts us in a position to assert that their stipulations for employment are actually more important than the employer’s.

We prevent candidates from lunging at the stipulations of prospective employers before they sort out their own basic stipulations for the right type of role. This gives each candidate the ability to convince employers that they know the type of work environment where their greatest contribution will likely be made. This allows both parties to catch an early view of what might be a good match.

How else will the candidate be able to effectively target the most appropriate types of roles in the most appropriate business settings?

Building the Brand & Message

It’s never been more important than it is now. Face it – we all know about the criticality of clear and impressive communication about ourselves. The candidate is the brand. They must be able to combine a variety of messages into the briefest of conversations and correspondence.

Of great importance is the dialog within which relevant anecdotal information is exchanged. You only get one chance to make a first impression – and we make sure that first impression is a winner.

Strategic Self Marketing Plan

In order to cover considerable ground in the shortest timeframe possible, candidates need to eliminate the confusion and work on several fronts simultaneously. Key areas include:

Driving Research & Relationship Centric Networking

Candidates benefit from doing more and better research on prospective employers than others. This is essential. Nowadays, there is a wealth of information on virtually every organization.
Candidates cannot afford to get into conversations with decision makers and waste valuable time learning about things they should already know. This time needs to be spent addressing key issues, challenges, and opportunities.

Not everyone is a born networker. It takes practice to get others interested and involved. Networking involves short to the point conversations. One has to know what questions to ask to secure third party influence. We feel there are Five Levels of Effectiveness with Referrals.


Sharpening Communication & Adding Finesse

Most people are not at ease talking about themselves. This becomes a problem when in the precious little time one has to make the right impression, something else happens. We help every candidate develop exceptional introductions, sound bites, and storylines that will serve them well.

Regarding finesse, we have to be mindful of the importance of not just what is being said – but how it is being said. Body language, tone, inflection, enthusiasm, and confidence are all communicated without being addressed specifically. The clarity of the messages and the conviction with which they are presented are of paramount importance.

Developing & Negotiating the Deal

We assert that offers are not extended to be accepted. Instead, they are extended to be developed and negotiated. We have helped hundreds of candidates develop and negotiate offers with aggregated value in the millions. A few key points:

Be careful - don’t start too early. You cannot develop and negotiate an offer you do not have. While listening and communicating carefully, candidates need to enhance their candidacy and run up their value while they still have time.

Sometimes companies get to the topic of compensation before they know the scale or magnitude of the candidate’s potential contribution. It is in the candidate’s best interest to have compensation gauged by the impact and bearing their contribution will likely have.

Every candidate is at the top of their game. They have more to offer and more at stake than ever before. We encourage them to participate creatively in the development and shaping of base salary, an upside (pay based on performance), and assurance they will have frequent feedback from their boss.

Career resiliency is not about weathering change – it is about causing it.
