Social Network Makeover

New economy, new media…no sweat. Social Strategy is more important than ever and a social footprint (or lack of one) can help or hurt one’s overall Brand and limit career growth opportunities.



Elevator Pitch & "About You" Statements

What kind of role are you looking for? Tell me a little bit about yourself? These are common questions in networking discussions and interviews and how your candidate answers these questions matter! We help them clearly convey their Story, abilities, and track record of success.

Networking Strategies

Networking does not come naturally to everyone. We help people identify and connect with key resources both inside and outside of their networks. Candidates learn creative strategies for networking naturally and with more confidence.

Customized Networking Cards

Participants receive custom cards for their networking and search efforts, helping them more effectively convey their brand and leave a lasting impression in their networking and career search efforts.

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.
