Recruiting…Perspectives on a Rewarding Profession

Executive recruiting exhilarates and rewards on a number of levels. Clients are happy when the candidate they selected continues to set the pace. Candidates exude a new confidence when placed in that dream job. Qualified, but recently displaced, professionals experience new beginnings after overcoming the emotional and financial challenges of being unemployed in our current economy.

What goes unseen to both the hiring managers and candidates is the intense work and preparation involved in presenting the clients' opportunities and preparing the candidates. In most cases, candidates ranging in career levels from fresh out of school to exceptional executives are unprepared for the rigors and details involved with a successful career search.

This is truly a profession providing either a new experience or new lesson each and every day. It's my goal to share as many of these as possible. If you have a success story, lesson or experience about your career search that you feel would help others in their own search, please feel free to email me at info@kokottsearchconsultants.com.
