Corporate Internet Marketing Strategy, Job Search

Working in close partnership with client companies and candidates, Shulman Associates interprets and translates the needs and expectations of both the hiring managers and the identified candidates into comprehensive and intellectually stimulating interviews. As competition for candidates between companies intensifies in the marketplace, securing the best fit increases our client companies’ competitive edge.

Our clients constantly tell us that we are an essential and integral part of a well-planned staffing process, and candidates consistently comment on our streamlined approach. To earn this kudos, we need to be completely fluent on the scope of the position, the history of the company, its goals, challenges and expectations. And we need to sit across from clients and candidates alike.

“Some companies hire a search firm and never hear from them again until the candidates are ready to be interviewed. This is another huge mistake. Insist that your search consultants become part of your team. Make sure they meet all significant players, including those who will be peers and subordinates as well as the hiring manager and human resource professionals. Give them free access to information and facilities so they can get an accurate picture of your company's atmosphere and culture. As they'll be representing you in the marketplace, they need to be totally immersed in your company.

Since not all searches travel perfect linear paths, there will be times when regrouping and revising certain aspects of the search will be required. By fostering a team spirit early on, you will have a better chance at early success.”
