Services For Our Marketing Candidates

What We Can Offer You...

Perhaps the most important things for candidates to remember are:

The best time for individuals to contact a recruiter is when they don’t need one. Over 70% of positions in the U.S. are filled through professional recruiters. The majority of all companies have dealt with headhunters at one time or another.
Recruiters provide candidates with a form of representation that can provide an advantage when seeking a new job. Employers will take prospective hires more seriously if they are presented by a third-party. Since clients usually only engage headhunters when they need to fill a vacancy, candidates can be sure that they are being put forward for genuine vacancies and not applying for a job that has already been filled.

It is your career-don’t leave it to chance

For many aspects of life you are best advised to seek professional advice. Everyone knows to consult a lawyer on legal matters, a doctor to stay healthy. Yet when it comes to our careers, often even the most talented business people are happy to struggle through by themselves, making unnecessary mistakes, poor choices, and harmful career moves.

The good news is you don’t have to. There is excellent and specialized advice available, and better yet it’s free.

Gruen & Associates has specialized executive recruiters operating in every major industry all across the country. Our recruiters are dedicated to scouring the markets to find perfect candidates for each and every position our clients need to fill.

Why use a recruiter?

It’s common knowledge that high performers rarely spend their time looking over Internet job boards. They are much more likely to be focused on critical projects and delivering for their company. For that reason, the best positions simply aren’t advertised. Companies are not looking for unemployed candidates. Instead they instruct us to delve into the market place to find the best talent wherever they may be.

This does not mean that you should wait for a recruiter to come calling. Smart candidates form a long-term relationship with a recruiter they can work with and whom they can trust. Furthermore, the recruiter can offer a critical eye on your career path and advise you on steps you may need to take to sharpen up.

Tailored Candidate Services

As recruiters, we are employed by our clients to help them make the right hires. If you have the potential for a position we are recruiting for, we bring a raft of services and advice to help you make the best of the opportunity, and best of all our advice and expertise are free to our candidates.

Specific services we provide to the candidates we work with include:

Resume advice. How to position yourself by emphasizing your achievements and making the best of your talents.
Interview coaching. Specific advice on how to prepare for your interview and detailed feedback once the interview is over. It is surprising how many top candidates interview below their potential.
Relocation advice. This can also include helping you through the resignation process.
Briefings. In depth preparation for all meetings with the hiring company, including salary negotiation.

So what can you expect from us?

Working with a professional recruiter is not the same as having an agent or placing your resume with a run of the mill employment agency. We need you to understand that we aim to find the perfect match for each role; so we don’t guarantee that we will have a suitable opportunity for you immediately. Instead, based on your detailed preferences, we will identify and present to you only the positions that accurately reflect your chosen professional path as they arise. Our goal is win/win for both candidate and client.

As we proceed we will discuss opportunities in detail, respect your choices and ask your permission to proceed with client presentations of your background and experience.
