additional candidates.
Screen Candidates: We review on-line profiles
and resumes; evaluate the candidate’s full social
media footprint. Then we contact by phone
or Skype qualified candidates to build interest,
verify qualifications, and determine suitability
for the position.
Progress Report to the Client: Each week we
provide a progress report to the client to let
them know the status of the process and to give
them information from the market regarding
the position and what we are hearing from
qualified candidates.
Face-to-face Interviews: We coordinate interviews
with the designated interviewer parties, most
often conducted first by phone or Skype, and
for final candidates, via the web or in person.
Offer Negotiation: When requested we can
develop the offer letter details; work with
the hiring manager to extend the job offer,
negotiate acceptance, coordinate relocation,
and establish a start date.
Follow-up to Hire: Our final step is to stay in
contact with the new hire for the first year to
support a productive and engaged new hire.

by helping them prepare for interviews. He co-
authored with Katherine Burik three books on the
hiring process, The Job Seeker Manifesto, and now
uses that knowledge to help both hiring-manager
clients and candidates make their decisions wisely.
Those three books are available on Amazon and
on Katherine’s website, . These
books get to the heart of interviewing effectively,
as well as preparing yourself for your next
opportunity. They include information about how
to develop a plan, how to utilize the resume to
market the candidate, its application to the LinkedIn
profile, and the specific manner in which to handle
interview questions.
