Why we cannot “help you find a job”
It’s not because we do not care, quite the opposite. There is nothing more satisfying that being part of a process wherein people find better livelihood or realize their career dream. However, the only person who can find you a job is…yourself. You cannot outsource that process. Of course, some professionals, like career counselors, can assist you and give you tools to better manage your search. They will however charge you for the service, as you are their clients. That’s not what we do.
We provide HR Services – including recruiting – to our corporate clients, usually high-tech/bio-tech or financial companies in the US. That means that if one of the companies we work with is looking for a CPA and you are a CPA, we will consider your application to the job like any other qualified candidate. Also, we have created and currently manage a job board, similar to Monster™ or CareerBuilder™, but with different features, to allow employers a direct reach into talented workforce. So just like the corporate recruiter at one of the companies you want to work at to find you a job, or the person who manages the Monster™ database, we cannot help you find a job. You can help yourself by watching all current job postings and applying only to the ones whose requirements match your skills set.
Additionally, we have over 1500 active candidates at any given time. As much as we would want to, we cannot give each of them individual attention and follow-up on his/her job search. This is the reason why we only reach out to candidates in view of a specific opening, and do not give a courtesy call to every applicant.
However, as many of you know, I personally try to volunteer for at least one career counseling /résumé writing session a month with local non-profit organizations, and keep you informed of such if applicable. These sessions are set up and managed by the organizations themselves, such as the Jewish Family Services of NY and NJ, and I would encourage you to research and use these available resources.
We appreciate your understanding and wish you the best on all your career endeavors.
