Better Candidates. Faster Placements. Happier Clients.
The Challenge
Larger staffing firms separate the Client Relationship Management and Business Development functions from the Recruiting function. Smaller agencies and independent headhunters typically wear both ‘hats’ and balancing the two functions effectively can be difficult. Adding to an already complex set of incentives and interests, candidates understand that recruiter’s incentives are more closely aligned with the employer and may approach recruiters cautiously or avoid this career channel altogether.

CandidateCoach provides expert resume support, interview preparation, coaching, and feedback to prepare them for “Prime Time” We give your candidates a personalized and unique feedback experience that goes beyond the placement while supercharging your placement business.
