Expert Staffing Solutions

After 38+ years in the Staffing/Personnel business, I have learned that a good business relationship starts with the first contact. I spend the time to get to know my candidates and their job skills, as well as their career interests. I will speak with candidates PRIOR to submitting their resumes to any of my openings. A list of “qualifying questions” are sent to my candidates that cover salary, desired position, desired location, years of experience with specific technologies, etc. This helps me to find the “right” position to present to the candidates.

I prepare each candidate for their phone screens and personal interviews. Typical interviewing questions and basic interviewing tips will be sent to you prior to the face-to-face interviews. Answering those interview questions prior to your interview will prepare you so that you are not caught off guard by any questions. Interviewing tips are crucial to follow, as FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING! The first few minutes of the interview often determine whether you will be selected for the position. Among other things, wearing professional attire, arriving on time, good eye contact, and a firm handshake are among the top most important things to remember.

We cannot be in the interview with you, so you will have to prepare yourself too. Doing your “homework” prior to the interview will not only show them that you are interested but will make you more at ease during the process. Hence, you will do a better job on the interview. Research their company by reviewing their website and other information that you are able to find on them. Prepare some questions for them based on the information that you have gathered. Show enthusiasm for their company and position while talking with them. Discuss with them how your skills can contribute to their department and organization without being boastful. “Listen” to what they have to say. Remember, you can learn more by listening than talking.
