How much
does working with you cost me?
There is no cost
to you from LandaJob. Our clients hire us and pay us to find
matches for their needs in permanent and temporary
positions. In very rare instances, an employer will ask you
to be
liable for a portion of the fee, should you leave prior to
one year. If that's the case, you'll know in advance of accepting
the offer.
Your salary offer is not affected because our client has
planned
in advance for both your salary level and our fee.

-
Do you only handle jobs that employers can't fill by any
other means?
No. In fact, in many instances our clients will contact
us before advertising for the position.

-
How do I get an appointment with you?
Typically, we set up an appointment with you when you
match a current job search or if we anticipate one coming
to us soon.
Your
first action is to send us your resume. See Apply
Now.

-
Should I send you different resumes for different kinds
of jobs?
Send a general resume in the beginning and note in the
cover letter that different versions exist. You may be
asked later
to revise or
re-focus your resume.
top
-
Should I send my portfolio with my resume?
If you are scheduled for an interview, always bring your
portfolio. Otherwise, you can submit 3 to 4 non-returnable
samples of your
best work with your resume.

-
What happens in the process after I send my resume to you?
You will receive a postcard or e-mail confirming that we
have received your resume. Your resume information will be
input into
our database, and then circulated to recruiters who specialize
in your skill set. They will determine whether to contact
you (by phone)
based on the searches they are currently conducting for clients
and those they expect, based on the marketplace, to be
conducting in
the near future. At that point, you may be called in for
a face-to-face interview.
Whether or not there is a match with one of our current searches,
your resume remains in our database for two years. Please
send us an updated resume if you change jobs or expand your
skill
set.

So we've met, what happens now?
If we have potential matches for you immediately, we'll
tell you about them in detail and find out if they meet your
objectives.
Then
we'll submit your resume along with a management summary
to our client. We'll work with you at every step of the process
to prepare
you for
interviews, explore issues, check references and even help
negotiate the offer. If there is no immediate match, we
want
you to keep
in touch so that if something does come up, we'll be able
to reach you.
We view our relationships as long-term, and we hope that
we are in touch even after you've found a job, either through
us or
on your
own.

Will LandaJob notify me before submitting my resume to
a client?
Our clients often
benefit from our specialized expertise, as we may understand
advertising and marketing positions in more depth than internal
HR staff. We work hand in hand with them to find the best
person for you.

I sent a resume to you before and never got called.
What's up?
ItYes. We have
our fingers on the pulse of what's going on salary-wise
in the market, both from the candidate and employer perspective.

-
Can you help me locate candidates outside this market?
Your resume may need
a facelift to make it more targeted, or you may be including
too much information. Remember, the
resume’s
goal is to land a meeting, not tell your life story. We are
happy to review your resume via phone. Perhaps the market's
needs are
not where your skills lie right now, so you might need to
adjust your
immediate expectations. You may also need to spot-check your
references. There may be an unfavorable one lurking out there.
We suggest you
consider temporary assignments to keep your skills sharp
and get introduced into new working environments.

-
I've received no results from other recruiters. Can you be successful for me?
We'll spend some
time with you to see if we can determine why your previous
searches have yielded no results. It may be that we can help
fine-tune the skill sets or experience that could work in
that position.
top
-
How
do I know you're not going to show me the same people I've
already seen?
The purpose of hiring
us is to help identify unduplicated candidates. We'll spend
time with you up-front to talk about the candidates you've
already evaluated. In addition, we do a thorough job of finding
out from our candidates where they've already applied or
interviewed. When we submit someone to you, to the best of
our knowledge, they are not in your system.

-
Should I work with more than one recruiter at a time?
You certainly can
if you have the time to devote to managing the process. The
more recruiters you choose, the more management time you'll
expend.

What's
your screening process? How do you decide when to send a resume
to me?
Our screening process
may be more thorough than you're accustomed to. We are evaluating
not only the specific skill sets and experience you need,
but also the character, background, and personality traits
we uncover during the interview process. Because our recruiters
have worked within the job categories that we fill, accurately
assessing who will fit your job requirements is one of our
key strengths. And when we send you a resume, it's accompanied
by a management summary that explains our recommendation.
