Resume Advice
We heart ny tech
uncovering opportunities
As industry insiders, we are well connected in the industry. And in a very technical field, we are well versed at understanding the types of opportunities that are exciting to our candidates. Most recruiters spam. Our focus is such that we will only send appropriate opportunities your way on the occasion that they arise, which probably isn't often. Spend a few minutes talking to us, and we can effectively bring interesting positions to your attention as we uncover them.
Your Career Counselor
We'll act as your "Career Agent" marketing you to the people who are looking for your skills and talents. We put you in a better position to negotiate.
Industry Knowledge & Expertise
We have conversations with the decision makers of many companies all day, every day. But we focus on the industries where we can have the most impact and provide the greatest value. This means that we will be better able to guide you to the best opportunity.
Confidentiality
We are not a job board where employers can indiscriminately sift through resumes. We are very respectful of your confidentiality and will not release your information unless you want us to.
Interview Coaching
We provide you with key information for your interviews including background on companies, the hiring authorities and what they are really looking for during the interview. You don't have to do this alone. Find more advice on preparing for technical interviews here.
Compensation Analysis
Are you being paid what you're worth? We know what the fair market value is and what you can expect or request. We can help you assess the total package to determine its true overall career value.
Temporary/Freelance Opportunities
"Temporary" or "limited time" employment is one of the fastest growing segments in recruiting. If you would like to investigate working on a "contract" basis, we can help you better evaluate the pros and cons of this work arrangement. We handle both permanent placement and contract positions, and our relationship with MRINetwork™ means that we can offer certain qualifying contract workers an array of benefits not normally available to freelance workers.
