It simply means that we will use our best efforts to match your credentials and career goals with our clients' needs and cultures.
If I work with you, am I prohibited from working with other search firms?
No, however, make sure that anyone working with you advises you when you will be presented and before they do so. This will help ensure that you are not disqualified for a position because your credentials were submitted by two companies.
How do I know where my credentials are sent?
We never present you to a company without disclosing its identify to you prior to the submittal. You have an important decision-making role in the credential submission process. This protects Flex Execs Management Solutions and its clients from disputes and you from potential disqualification of your candidacy.
What kinds of information will you need from us?
We are interested in the details of your current duties and responsibilities. A list of accomplishments is also very helpful as is a statement of the benefit you will bring to a new employer. In addition, because we will be working with you on your next career move, you should be prepared with detailed information about your salary history.
What information can I expect about your clients?
We try to give you a brief overview of the company, Its financial situation, corporate organization, culture and work ethic, company philosophy, benefit programs and future career path.
How much time will I have to invest?
If you have been contacted about a specific client opening, we will generally spend a brief period of time determining if you have the required credentials and are a good match with the client culture. If it looks like you're a match, you can expect to be invited for a personal interview with our staff. Assuming there is still a possibility of a good match, additional time would be spent interviewing with the client. The total time involved varies with the client and the position.
What if the fit is not right with a particular client?
We work with many clients who have similar needs and, with your permission, we will present your credentials to them. If you are interested, we ask you to prepare a list of your top 15 choices for your next employer; we will make every effort to present your credentials to the right hiring authorities at those companies.
