FAQ'S

I received a recruiting call from Professions, even though I'm not looking for a job. Is this a common practice?

Yes! We believe that the most talented professionals are currently successfully employed, not necessarily on the job market. Because of our proactive recruiting efforts, this allows us to generate potential candidates our clients don't have the time or resources to find on their own.

I'm happy in my current position. Why should I be willing to hear about new career opportunities?

The fact is that there is no better situation to be in when being approached about other career options. The worst situation is when you are desperately looking or even worse, unemployed. In this case, you have a very distorted view on the situation at hand because there are so many pressures that may cause you to take a position that really isn't right for you long-term. By taking a proactive approach when it comes to your career, you can evaluate opportunities for what they are. It's much wiser to consider a career move because a position attracts you opposed to running away from a bad situation.

I've been looking for positions advertised by Professions on the internet and I've had a hard time finding any. Why is this so?

We pride ourselves on finding candidates that our clients otherwise may not have found on their own. Since most corporations advertise their positions online, we feel that we bring the most value to them by proactively searching for candidates who fit what they are looking for regardless of whether or not the person is actually looking for a new job.

Who does Professions really work for? Your client pays you the fee, I feel as though you have their best interest in mind.

Although our clients pay us our fee, we represent both the client and the candidates we recruit. Our job is not only to find talent such as yourself, but also to facilitate the entire hiring process including onboarding. In order for us to be successful, we must clearly have both interests in mind. If both parties interests are not met, we will not be able to conclude a search. We serve as an intermediary so there are wins for all parties involved.

I'm looking for a job, can you help me?

The foundation of our success is built on a true search process for our clients. Our network, Top Echelon, is very beneficial in helping candidates target open positions and network when future ones become available. See “Our Network” for more details.

Can I be assured communications between myself and Professions are kept confidential?

Yes, we wouldn't have it any other way. In return, we ask you to keep all information we share with you confidential as well.
