Next Steps
ˇ If your background, salary range, etc, is a match, you will interview
with one of our recruiters (possibly in person or by telephone).
ˇ Additional information about the position will be provided at
this time.
ˇ A series of questions will be asked of you to better understand
your vision, goals, strengths, and if you are a likely fit with
the client company.
ˇ If your recruiter cannot answer your questions he/she will get
the answers.
ˇ Please bring up any issues (examples: transferring visas, counter
offers, access to special needs programs for a child, etc.)
If you are interested and the recruiter believes you to be a good
fit for the position, we will send our client your résumé and a
letter explaining why we feel you would be a good match for their
team.
ˇ Typically a client will inform the recruiter if they are interested
in you within a few days. For contracts provide your hourly rate
requirements. Your recruiter will contact you as soon as he/she
hears any feedback.
ˇ Your first contact with our client may be by telephone. We will
schedule phone interviews and in person interviews.
ˇ If you are interested and the recruiter believes you to be a good
fit for the positions, we will send our client your résumé and a
letter explaining why we feel you would be a good match for their
team.
After the Interview
ˇ Call your recruiter immediately and let them know your interest
level and impressions of the interview, company, people you met
with, etc.
ˇ This is the time to ask your recruiter any unanswered questions
you might have.
ˇ If both sides are interested, the next step might be a second
interview or telephone calls which the recruiter will arrange.
Offer
ˇ Usually the recruiter will make the offer to you on behalf of
the client. The recruiter will discuss the compensation package
with you and handle any negotiations with the client. We want everyone
to feel they are getting a good deal.
ˇ If applicable, relocation information will be discussed.
ˇ Be prepared to provide three references with their contact information.
Call each of them to describe the position you are being considered
for, let them know they may be getting a call from the client or
recruiter.
ˇ Once there is an agreement, the client company will provide you
with a letter with the terms of the agreement and you can safely
quit your current position.
