Independent Consultants • Freelancers • Contractors
If you are…
• Having trouble getting your foot in the door
• Having trouble getting consulting contracts consistently
• Hitting a lot of dead ends after spending hours searching job postings
We are here to help you.
As a consultant, we know that you are highly skilled in certain areas of work. There are thousands of companies always looking for highly talented consultants.
The problem is that you have the skills, but probably don’t
have the time/money it would take to contact thousands of companies and let them know what you do. You may have been the best option for a job, but they did not know you existed. Many times, companies have to choose between too few consultants and end up settling for someone who doesn’t have the needed skills.
Chasing the unknown…
We know that you have probably spent countless hours sending out your resume and chasing dead end postings. How many times have you found the perfect contract, spent time getting your resume together, only to find out that the job was just filled, but your resume will go in a file for future calls?
The problem all starts with the process. What would you do if you paid a large fee for the right to post unlimited jobs or perform unlimited searches? You would probably want to maximize your investment and load your database with resumes for future needs.
The current process…
Did you know that most businesses and recruiters post a consulting job as a last option?
When a business posts a job, they pay a lot of money, get back hundreds unqualified resumes,
and waste lots of time trying to sift through a large pile of paper. If you are a skilled consultant, then you can only hope that your resume is near the top of the pile or you are not likely to be discovered.
Therefore, searching is a better option for businesses. The problem lies with the search. Let’s pick a keyword like ‘nurse’. If you do a standard keyword search in a particular city, then you are going to return all nurses in that city. Additionally you are going to return anyone who mentioned ‘nurse’ in their resume. Even the person that said ‘I am training to be a nurse’ or ‘My goal is to be a nurse’ or ‘I have been a nurse for 15 years’. The last candidate is the obvious match. However,
digging through 400 or 500 resumes returned from a search to find the one with the experience the business needs is very time consuming and there is a potential to overlook great candidates.
The new wave…
We are not saying that the standard resume process is a bad thing. We are just telling you that there is now a better way available to approach the process. As time evolves, technologies and methods improve.
