What does research show about the search market today?
In the 1990's, hiring decisions were based 80% education and 20% cultural fit. Multiple studies have proven new statistics. Today, hiring is based 40% on education, 40% on candidate skills to enhance a company's value proposition and 20% on cultural fit. Back
Who is hiring?
Ninety percent of professional hiring is small to medium-sized companies. Those companies have a need for executive level expertise.Back
Why would I need an executive career consultant or agent?
Most executives choose to have a respected and trusted confidant with whom to share information, bounce ideas, and achieve clarification on strategies. We all seek collaboration, focus and accountability with someone other than family/friends, especially when it comes to career decisions. Two heads are always better than one. We all need a neutral party and a partner with strong mentoring capabilities. That is a priceless asset. Back
With my education, background and expertise, how could a career consultant help?
Marketing "yourself" and rediscovering unique skills may quite possibly be the most difficult task you will ever undertake. Most executives have never interviewed since the day they left college or gained advanced degrees and certifications. Most have been recruited for every move. That type of specialized recognition for accomplishment does not happen in today's hiring market. You have to draw attention to yourself and do it in a professional, successful manner, if you want to move forward. Back
What does career consulting bring?
It's easy to miss some of the most important accomplishments in your past (which become part of your marketing/branding plan). Marketing and branding is clearly a different approach than a resume. We establish your compelling manner and unique approach. You will discover what you probably forgot or never recognized many assets. You must have this advantage in today's "change-a-second" search market. Back
In the past, recruiters sought me for positions. How do I begin a search or a startup?
It's easy to get lost. You must rise to the top and gain attention. It's mandatory to get connected. You have to find connected individuals and approach each in a professional manner. Turner Alliance ensures your unique approach will ensure that you stand out far above that of the best. A hiring manager or top decision maker will never forget you and when the timing is right...you will get the all important call back/offer.. Back
How often does one work with a career consultant?
With a monthly contract, the client and coach meet three times a month face-to-face or by phone. Each meeting results in action items for both the client/coach. In some programs, the meetings are scheduled aggressively in half-day segments, based on the mutual schedule and sense of urgency. Back
My package has two years salary, why would I begin career consulting early on?
Most executives are astounded at the length of the search and/or startup cycle. The entire market has turned 180 degrees from that of later decades. Turner Alliance takes you several steps beyond Outplacement offerings and consistently offers far more assistance than a contingency or retained recruiter has time to invest. In fact, the ideal time to begin the plan is when you are not under pressure or early in your search cycle. Back
