What does ART not do?
While we may try to see if we can assist any unemployed person or soon-to-be laid off Executive Presence, we should not be relied upon to provide immediate job interviews with our clients. Rather, in such cases, we might best be regarded as a possibly useful job source. When or if we can be of assistance is unpredictable.
If you are a person with little actual industry experience in a field in which ART recruits, we likely cannot be of too much assistance to you until you gain that experience. Typically, the principal reason why companies decide to hire an Executive Presence search firm to help fill a vacancy is because they need a very experienced Executive Presence or experienced manager who already has done or is doing the kind of work that they need to be done today. This can be frustrating for candidates who wish to change careers or industries and may believe that, if given the chance, they could perform the duties required. The problem is that, in most cases, employers would not consider that a search firm is offering them appropriate choices if their candidates do not already have verifiable track records in the target job or market. For those who seek significantly different jobs from what they are doing now, most headhunters can do little; but if you are prepared to make more gradual transitions to your ultimate "dream job," perhaps we can help.
ART is a global recruitment firm, and whenever our clients are willing and able to consider qualified candidates who want or need to be relocated from other cities or sponsored from other countries, we are happy to present as many of those capable candidates as possible. But the reality of most hiring environments is that if qualified local candidates are available for a position, most companies would rather not take on the added burden of relocating a candidate. ART has placed many candidates who had to relocated, but in every case, the employer chose to do so only because that candidate was more suitable than other candidates.
We normally do not extensively edit or rewrite most candidate résumés. If a résumé does not tell us what products or services you have worked with, what achievements you have made, or other standard information in a résumé or CV, we are highly unlikely to contact you to ask you to redo your résumé. We take very seriously and literally what you tell us or do not tell us in your application and résumé, so please always be as accurate as possible. For example, if you tell us that you would only consider jobs in Brussels or Singapore, we likely would only contact you if we had a search assignment for someone with your credentials in Brussels or Singapore, even if you really would prefer San Diego or Atlanta (but never told us so). Similarly, if you state that you would only want a Vice President of Sales and Marketing title with a minimum annual base of US $250,000 and an annual package of US $500,000, when you might really be perfectly happy to consider a Director's title and a base of $150K with a package of $250K at a better company, your statements might only cause to limit your choices.
