What can a search firm do for me? | Top Of Page

Search firms work for their clients, which are the companies that engage them to fill a job assignment. Search firms may or may not be able to assist you in your job hunt, depending on whether they are currently working on a search assignment that is a fit for your background. A search consultant can act as a good networking resource: they will add you to their database of candidates and will contact you when a position opens that matches your criteria. Recruiters generally do not meet with candidates unless there is a specific position to discuss.

Should I work with more than one recruiter? | Top Of Page

Definitely. Cast your job search net as wide as possible and connect with all the recruiters that work in your industry area. Submit your resume to each one, either in application to a posted opportunity, or as a general submission, to add to the search firm's candidate database.

How often should I call a recruiter? | Top Of Page

You can feel free to touch base with a recruiter via telephone or email as a follow up to an in-person interview to check the status of the search you are being considered for or to keep the consultant aware of your interest and status. You should also touch base when your employment status changes, you are looking for a new opportunity, you have been promoted or your career is changing direction - so that you stay on their radar. However, as consultants receive hundreds of calls daily, don't put the onus on the recruiter to call you back on every message you leave. Any information you provide via a voice mail or email message will be updated on the firm's candidate database.

What is Madison MacArthur's Confidentiality Policy? | Top Of Page

Any information submitted to Madison MacArthur is kept in the strictest of confidence. We will only disclose your resume to our client once we have discussed the opportunity with you at length and received your permission to pass on your personal information.

Does Madison MacArthur charge candidates fees for placing them? | Top Of Page

Our services to candidates are absolutely free. To be entered into our database, to be placed in a new company through us or to be given valuable advice during interviews is of no cost to the candidate.

How do I apply for a job through Madison MacArthur? | Top Of Page

Our website features a selection of the Career Opportunities that are currently in progress. Follow the simple instructions on our website to apply for a specific position that you are interested in. We welcome your resume to add to our candidate database, if you prefer to make a general submission.

What happens after I send my resume? | Top Of Page

We enter your information into our database upon receiving it. Madison MacArthur contacts you as soon as an opportunity appropriate to your background and needs comes up. We guarantee total confidentiality - we will never present your resume to a client without your approval.

Should I send my resume more than once? | Top Of Page

There is no need to submit your resume more than once, unless you would like to update your file with Madison MacArthur. It is not necessary to email your resume everyday or to fax, mail and email the same version of your resume.
