Formed in 1998, we consolidated talent who worked together for up to 20 years in the career field. This team attracted leading technology, creative and executive talent.
The firm is privately owned and the employees are the shareholders. The firm has no debt and is in excellent financial condition. With over 300 associates, we serve several thousand professionals each year.
Yes. Staff members are available to provide a tour of our facilities and spend time discussing your situation.
At our world headquarters in Denver, we have a large staff who supports all clients. We also have regional centers throughout the country. Importantly, we serve clients worldwide, with or without a need to visit our offices.
Our staff includes hundreds of people from many disciplines... former CEOs, military officers, educators, nonprofit executives... attorneys, marketing, IT and HR executives and others.
Through JMAC, you can access 85% or more of your possibilities, not just the customary 2%. However, this is such a powerful set of resources in so many ways, that you should see our separate video.
An extraordinary amount. Our website is the most extensive source for local job market information in the U.S. It gives you local openings, leads to openings, emerging jobs, potential contacts and more.
Exceptionally close. In fact, through our Executive Advisory Group, many remain close throughout their careers.
Most people take limited actions. We develop an aggressive marketing plan, write all resumes and letters, and supply continuous openings, leads and contacts. We also market you to thousands of firms and assist in all interviews and negotiations.
A fast-growing firm generally means higher pay, faster promotions and valuable stock options -- giving you a better chance of accumulating wealth and job satisfaction.
Job hunting is challenging. And, people can no longer rely on answering a few ads and contacting some recruiters and friends. Our resoucres enable people at all incomes to search the market with both greater speed and effectiveness.
No. Professionals and executives worldwide can utilize our services without visiting our offices. The level of excellence remains equal.
Yes. Your history forms remain on file, and JMAC is available if needed for up to 5 years. We are also happy to provide annual career assessments at no cost.
Traditional recruiters work for employers. We work for individuals seeking a new job.
Counseling firms only offer to advise you on how to do a job search. Our services go much further. We take on a major portion of your marketing effort, and do most of the hard work for you.
Traditional outplacement counselors warehouse unemployed people in shared cubicles or offices, provide workshops and counseling. This concept is unchanged since the 1970s.
We know of no one in the U.S. who has anywhere near our capabilities. Wall Street analysts say we are a minimum of two years ahead of the field.
We disclose everything about our service through written materials, our client hand-book, this extremely high-content website and a series of online videos. Details on every aspect of the firm and its service are publicly available.
The main reason is that it has become more complex and competitive. Thirty million resumes are now in circulation all the time.
Whenever your situation dictates. During a recession, hiring declines sometimes by as much as 20%. However, our experience is that if you compensate by being more aggressive, you will be relatively unaffected by economic conditions.
Before we could provide an intelligent answer, we need you to fill out our marketability evaluation profile and then have a discussion with you.
The more marketable you are, the more important it is to uncover the maximum number of opportunities available. If you run a "minimal" search and choose less than an exceptionally good offer, you run the risk of lowering your long-term success curve.
We analyze your transferable skills and experiences. Then, we develop 10-20 key phrases for use in all written communications... and face-to-face meetings. This approach can expand your marketability beyond your factual cre-dentials.
Employers place a premium on versatile people with diverse skill sets. Those in highest demand can handle many assignments that draw upon these different skills. Properly communicated, they increase your credibility for new industries.
Age will eliminate many opportunities. But many people can lift their marketability by communicating all their skill sets, know-how and strengths. If you run an aggressive campaign, you can often compensate for age bias in the market. For more on this subject, review our book... our complete system, elsewhere on this website.
We offer every client our complete analysis and recommendations as to the specific job titles you should go after... and in what industries. We also address the income implications... both short and long term.
Our service can be targeted to anyone's geographic preferences. The depth of our information about local job markets and individual employers can be invaluable.
There is virtually no major area of industry experience we have not dealt with before.
We will not release your name or personal information to any outside party without your permission. However, when it comes to your campaign, with the range of actions that most people take, total confidentiality can never be completely assured.
Yes. Our staff will review your materials and offer our concrete suggestions for improvements. Our market tour also contains what we have learned about the design and styles of resumes that work best today.
Not always. We do not serve the interests of recruiters. Rather, we develop presentations that will produce the best results for each client. You should know, however, that our materials have been consistently praised by seasoned recruiters.
Our role is to capture the best possible expression of you. If you are not happy with every word of our written materials, we make adjustments to ensure your satisfaction. After that, response is a function of the demand for your credentials. These professionals in major fields will experience greater demand and responses can come in for a long time.
The odds of a recruiter having an assignment for an opportunity that is right for you, at the moment you contact them, are slim. The more recruiters you contact, the more the odds are in your favor.
This is only recommended for senior executives. It involves our identification of board members of public firms that we approach on your behalf. Custom written communications of an extensive nature, are mailed under our letterhead every week.
Clients who generate the most interest are typically executives who are candidates for "C" level positions (COO, CTO, etc.) or who can fill a role as head of a line function (VP Sales, etc.). Most often, they are in their 30s or 40s, although there are exceptions.
Extensive direct marketing is always recommended for the majority of professionals with an interest in a specific geographic area. It is also for those who want more speed and convenience, or who have chosen to target specific industries.
To succeed, you need to maximize chemistry. But, you also must be prepared with stories employers will remember. And, you must be able to overcome any objections. We make sure that each of our clients are equipped to handle these factors.
Without them, most people will forget what you say in a matter of minutes. We forget facts and concepts, but we all like good stories and remember them.
We equip you with our system for negotiating and we work with you on every response and counter-response as you go through negotiations. Given today's complex financial packages, this assistance has become very important.
Every phase of our service is monitored by the lead marketing director and a number of local and national staff members. Our system helps make sure that you are satisfied with every aspect of the service we perform for you.
We wish we could claim 100%, but we can't. Success varies by a client's background, income level and other criteria. Everyone gets activity. But, some choose to stay where they are when their situation improves, or leverage offers for a promotion. Others invest in or buy a firm, or discontinue their search for personal reasons.
Over 60% take positions in new industries and many join growth companies.
Many clients comment on the long-term benefits of investing in themselves. Others say their new marketing skills give them more confidence and will be invaluable in future searches. The close relationships we enjoy also benefit our clients for many years.
Job search expenses are normally tax-deductible. So, the true net cost of our service is generally 25% to 35% less. And, many clients often accept positions at 10% to 30% more, and some receive a signing bonus.
We would be happy to teleconference with you and your spouse to ensure your understanding of the benefits of what we do.
Yes. We recommend you review it carefully.
Yes. Many professionals retain our service privately as a supplement to the outplacement their employer has provided. Our assistance goes far beyond outplacement counseling.
In many cases, yes. Executives being outplaced are usually allowed to choose their own service. We will be happy to contact your employer about what we can do for you.
