Account Executive Resume Search Engine Marketing

Contingency recruiters work on an average of 10 to 20 assignments at a time, precluding them from intricately knowing each client's organizational structure, key players, job details or position history. In contrast, Shulman Associates works on a self-imposed maximum of three searches per consultant, at a time. By working in such a focused manner, we pay attention to the subtle nuances and details that are essential to an effective search. We make time to meet with all relevant parties at the hiring company, to understand the company's objectives, and to comprehend the role of the company's unique communications function.

“Expect your executive search firm to provide comprehensive progress reports on their work, including in-depth profiles on each candidate, assessments of strengths and weaknesses, as well as matches and misses with the position. In addition, make sure you review and discuss interview processes and questions and evaluation criteria. Insist that they prepare your executives as well as the candidates for interviews. Remember that the first impression is the most lasting one; more than one excellent candidate has been "turned off" by inappropriate and/or inefficient treatment by a client.”
