Whether you have applied to an ad, sent in a blind resume, have been referred, or called, you will get attention only if you are a strong match for the assignment they are working on. A search firm gets paid to attract people who are among the best in their field, not those just able to do the job.... If they conclude that you are a player, someone who might hire them to do search work in the future; someone who is well respected in the industry; someone with a big and powerful network, then they may be very attentive in starting a relationship with you.

I get faced with questions about why marketing is a relevant concept in career managment. Shouldn't the resume and the interview be about facts. A display of credentials? In an ideal world, we might only have to display our credentials and magically have a job matched for us, as the best candidate. There would be no need to market yourself if there were no competition for jobs. Nor would there be any need to market yourself if you didn’t care which job you were hired for. Reality is different. Let’s have a look at why you see me focusing on the marketing aspect of career management.

This is a normal practice for senior roles where the organization can’t get by without someone in the job for a few months, so they start a confidential search first, often with a search firm. Unattractive Company: Another reason is that a particular organization might not have a great reputation and they don’t want that lackluster reputation to screen out potentially strong candidates until they have a chance to sell them on their opportunity.

Where do out-of-the-box candidates fit in your hiring policies and strategy? In this age of talent vs. skills and tight labor markets, the out-of-box candidate will increasingly be a fact of life. It takes some experience and courage to seriously look at out-of-the-box candidates. And, it takes a willingness to be flexible.
