Are you a job candidate who believes you bring a lot to the job market? But when
looking around at the market, you see that there is stiff competition. Maybe you have
been out of the market for some time because you have been fully employed, and only
recently have things changed for you.

Are you thinking, how can I do this? How can I compete and be successful at landing
the job I desire? How can I do this when I do not have the networks that others have, or
have personal relationships with decision makers?

Fret not, odds are you can compete and achieve. Yes, the market has changed. But
what has not changed are companies seeking quality talent. Likely, you have direct
experiences that a lot of people do not have. And if your competition does have similar
experiences, are they able to sell and articulate those experiences and skills in a way
that makes the hiring manager understand they are the right fit for the company? Likely
the answer is no!

Your job is to get them to realize you are their next executive hire. Those with networks
sometimes have an edge, let’s be honest about that. They have access and may be
allowed to present their case to a hiring manager. But any hiring manager worth their
salt will want to go deeper and understand a person, particularly when they are
considering putting people in the most critical part of their company. It’s executive suite!
They want to know more about the candidate, what makes them tick, how they perform
when there is not pressure but also under stress, and how they manage complex
situations.

Here is where you may find an executive search firm valuable. Executive
firms are your networks, they work with companies to identify those desires they have
for candidates, and they screen and vet those candidates based upon their
requirements. We make sure the executive candidate is appropriate and ready for the
opportunity. We also make sure the executive candidate has found that place where
they believe their skills are most valued.
