Strategic Job Matching

I went on a lot of interviews and made it to the 2nd or 3rd round four or five times. But I never got any offers. I got a call from one of Elite Career Pros' schedulers. I spoke to nice gal who told me a good amount about their program. She was very forthright about their fee structure (which I appreciated because some other paid search companies tried to dance around that issue for way too long). I was scheduled to speak with one of Elite Career Pros' higher-ups, who impressed me with his understanding of the executive hiring process. I wound up in agreement with him about some of my resume’s shortcomings. I was happily surprised to learn some of the ways they get access to unpublished job openings. Even if I hadn’t hired them in February, I would have been satisfied with some of the important things I picked up just during the initial discussion – ways I’d been short-selling myself without even realizing it. This was nowhere near as high-pressure a sales call as I had been bracing for. They even offered me a free intro session so I could get a better feel for their program before having to decide. I had a couple of sessions with one of their Consultants, who seemed to have a real grasp for how to minimize my weaknesses and maximize my strengths. I liked what I learned, so I hired them. Within 90 days, they helped me land a very good role that paid more than I'd earned previously. Since then, I've recommended them to some of my colleagues.

After 15 years with a good company, a series of mergers and acquisitions threatened my job security. I was referred by a friend to Elite Career Pros. I was intrigued by what an alternate approach might yield. I messaged them and was contacted by one of their scheduling Scouts. This woman gathered some info from me about what I was looking for and what methods I’d been using, etc. She set up an appointment for me to speak with one of their Career Consultants. I liked what I learned during the free consultation. Best of all, they offered me a free intro session. I was impressed with how that went, so then I made the leap and hired them. After spending a significant amount of time gathering info, they wrote a much better Profile than I had before. They started marketing me on a big scale. It included exposure to venture capital firms and private equity groups. This led to a series of interviews with a start-up in my field that’s well funded and staffed by people who appreciate my knowledge and work ethic. I’ve been with the new company three months now and I’m quite happy so far.

I am a 57 yr. old CMO looking to go out really strong, but not for about another 15 years. I do not want to sit in a dead-end job doing nothing to grow the company or my self-worth. So I felt it was time to part ways. I have been looking for more than six months for a good enough role. I wanted this next job to be my going out with a bang job. After six months of searching, I could not find it. Then a rep from Elite Career Pros called and introduced me to their program. The representative called out of the blue and was very interested in hearing my needs and wants for my future CMO position. I was able to speak to several representatives before I decided to hire Elite Career Pros. Everything they said they would do for me, they did. I'm glad I was open to hearing about something totally different and out of the box compared to the search methods I'd been using. Thank you, everybody at Elite Career Pros!
