New Years is Around the Corner

The Holiday Season is upon us and we have many things to think about as we near the end of the year.  New Year’s brings us new and exciting ventures of life; new openings and closings of old chapters.  Maybe a new job is in your future, or you aren’t happy where you work now, and executive recruiting firms are here to help you uncover your future career.  There are many jobs that are readily available for the experienced executive.  Here are some ideas, hints and strategies you should keep in mind for this Holiday Season-

• ·         Update your resume.  This will be first thing you send out to a possible employer.  Make sure this information is correct and also contains your accomplishments that are important to this position. 

• ·         Many people forget how important writing is, with this in mind you should create a cover letter explaining how you can be an integral part of the team and what skills you bring to the job.

• ·         When attending a Holiday Party keep your ears low to the ground for talk from co-workers about their client’s expanding businesses, or openings in any companies.  They may also know of executive recruiting firms that have worked with your company or others in the past.  Use caution when finding out information, especially if you’re attending your our company’s party. 

• ·         Ask friends and family if they have heard or seen opening for what you are searching for.

• ·         Widen your search parameters.  Many people look in one industry because that’s what they have been working in for years and it’s easy.  Learning new things comes quickly to some people and a slight change in industry doesn’t mean you have no idea what to do.  Do not be scared of change, but embrace the opportunity.

The use of executive recruiting firms and database websites that work primarily in executive positions are common mediums of job searching.  Put yourself out there and you will see the pay off with a new job come New Years.    

Talent Talk: The Price of Success

Talent doesn't grow on trees, which is unfortunate because every organization wants it -- or should, anyways.  Our staffing firm can help to match you up with some of the best professionals that are out on the job hunt, but you also need to provide a work environment that will attract them.  Of course you shouldn't be bending over backwards for just anyone, but if you have a need for talented top-level players, then you have to make them need you as well.

And since, as mentioned, every firm that wants to reach higher into the stratosphere of success needs excellent employees to do it, we're confident that you fall into that classification.  Some companies fear partnering with an executive recruiting firm in order to bring in the best and the brightest because of the headaches said employees sometimes cause.  Don't be; they're worth it.

Just about every single one of them wants to be given one of the highest salaries in your organization.  But if they have the skill-set to bring significantly higher levels of success to your company, isn't it worth shelling out more cash for them?  Sometimes they want special treatment, too, which can be a pain to deal with.  Maybe they want a bigger office, the ability to skip some meetings, work flexible hours, or something else of the sort. 

You'll have to make your own decision as to whether or not it is worth it to cater to the needs of any given employee.  If being at the top of your industry is your goal, though, there is really no way around it.  Once you are ready to make the moves necessary to bring in the most able candidates, get in touch with our staffing firm and we'll help find your team's next superstar.

CEO Replacement Through Executive Recruiting Firms

In the wake of the baby boomer retirements, many companies find themselves with vacant CEO positions. While many CEOs seem to hold on to their positions for as long as possible, eventually we must all move on. The company's future and direction are on the line in the CEO's absence, and it generally becomes necessary to hire or recruit a replacement. That is where executive recruiting firms come into play. 

Executive recruiting firms, like Ashley Mackenzie, provide recruiting services for all positions within a company but especially those that require specific training and experience. Executive recruiting firms provide effective, selective and accurate search services that diminish the hundreds of applicants for a specific position. 

Without executive recruiting firms, employers can spend days and even weeks looking for qualified applicants before the interview process even begins. By allowing an executive recruiting firm the ability to provide executive recruiting services for you, you are allowing a company that knows the business and market well, and who is networked within various industries to search for qualified candidates and field problems throughout the interview process—relocation issues, counter-offers and more. 

If your company is searching for a new CEO due to retirement or medical illnesses, consider choosing an executive recruiting firm and remove the hassle from the hiring process. Choose Ashley Mackenzie and begin to see the difference that an experienced, professional and effective executive recruiting firm can have within your company.

We understand that confidentiality is key in a growing and developing society and will gladly assist in these circumstances.
