A Piece of the Action

We want to thank all of the credible executives that have provided us with a wealth of trusted references over the years.  It’s been our goal to provide insight and information to anyone we work with that may be of value and our expansion could not take place without that network.  When a staff member told me recently that one of their candidates was close friends of a Sr. Level Executive that would be a person of interest for our firm, but would only provide contact information for a “piece of the action” I had to ask…are you sure they are friends?! 

When industry executives compromise their professional integrity and insist on “consulting on the side”, they in turn de-value those that they refer.  When a firm advertises this is their policy to the community at large, the chances are that their database is full of candidates looking to make the quick buck and are very likely job-hoppers.   Candidates with integrity and have a genuine interest in helping a colleague further their career will invest in looking to have a professional relationship with a search firm, not one where they can get rich quick!
