A true example of how a search firm works on your behalf.

John (not his real name of course) was scheduled to meet a hiring authority after hours for his interview. John had experienced a really rough day at work and, although he had allowed for plenty of time to make his interview, John had not counted on traffic traveling at a snail’s pace. He was 15 minutes late and quite irritated by the chain of events that day. Result was a “bad” interview and the hiring authority informed the recruiter there was no way on God’s green earth that John would be considered for the job. The recruiter was determined to change his mind, and after 15 minutes of relentless bantering, convinced the hiring authority to give John ONE more chance with a second interview. Result……John was hired and lived happily ever after at the company! (as far as we know anyways)
