| The following will answer some questions that many clients, candidates and schools have asked about A. Taylor. If you need additional information, please contact us. | |
| I
keep hearing about the "A. Taylor look"-What
exactly is that?
It is probably more typical of a P.R. firm. Many of our clients and candidates are impressed by the office decor. Our private and confidential interview settings allow for confidentiality and the exchange of delicate information. Since we are so conscious of this responsibility, clients can easily entertain searches on our premises. |
|
| Are
your interviewing methods different from other Placement Firms?
We're very thorough. At A. Taylor we are very particular about this during our training sessions. Only upon viewing the back of an application will you fully appreciate this extensiveness. In addition, all of our interviews are conducted in private areas apart from our Marketing department, thus allowing sensitive information to be processed intelligently and effectively. It's a win-win situation for our clients and candidates alike. We also have private conference rooms available for clients to interview on premises upon call. Many candidates also respect our in-depth interviewing process. At A. Taylor, we offer the professional guidance needed to prepare candidates for the competitive market. We address all market inquiries, fine tune all interviewing techniques and offer competitive positions with excellent benefits and advancement opportunities. Many of our candidates continue relationships with us as they seek guidance throughout their career development. |
|
| Where
do you normally get your candidates?
Through our e-Data Net Systems, we have available always a qualified pool of candidates. Our searches are more focused toward the successfully engaged individual who brings to the table a proven track record, rather than soliciting the best of the unemployed through the classifieds. Our e-platforms are always in motion. Hundreds of new candidates are being fused with our daily job opening reports for perfect career-candidate matching, thus giving our clients the competitive edge and our candidates improved opportunities. |
|
| What
should I look for in a Personnel Consultant?
Look for specific strengths that
relate to your needs. A good P.C. should have some knowledge in most
areas of job statistics, occupational needs and employment trends.
Look for a Personnel Consultant who you feel is willing to listen to you
and understands your business. |
|
| What
is a C.P.C., and how does it involve private Placement Firms?
C.P.C. stands for Certified Personnel Consultant. Only expert placement firms will insist that their Personnel Consultants earn their C.P.C. designation as soon as they qualify. They must have a minimum of two years experience in a private placement firm, subscribe to the National Association of Personnel Consultant’s Code of Ethics, and be prepared to pass an extensive examination administered by a sanctioned testing association on employment agency law and personnel consulting practices. A. Taylor is proud to participate and support this program. |
|
| How
much training do you offer your Personnel Consultants?
We pride ourselves in setting training goals and letting our consultants know what is expected of them. Our training requirements are both flexible and demanding, given the strength of the individual and the subject matter. The C.P.C. requirements is an example of the rigorous demands placed on a consultant who seeks a C.P.C. designation. |

|
| Do
you test your candidates?

| What
is our responsibility as a Placement Firm? Our primary responsibility is to perform our searches carefully from inception to completion, always supporting our integrity and clients' interests first. Our objective is "principal before personality." We focus on your needs for a "quality connection" for candidates and clients alike. In testimony to A. Taylor's services, referrals from clients and candidates are ongoing. |
|
| How
can your outplacement program help existing clients?
Relocation, layoffs and terminations are often
costly and delicate issues to both the employer and employee. Once
notified by the company of the impending removals, A.
Taylor arranges in-house interviews with the affected
employees. Timing is critical, so we work hard to expose the
employee to the outside market immediately giving them every opportunity
for placement with another client. |
|

types of temporary assignments do you handle?

does your "Talent Scout" program work?

Once a referral is placed with one of our clients, the “talent scout” receives a prize or cash equivalent for his/her efforts. Satisfied customers are our greatest source for new business. Hundreds of excellent candidates have been added to our roster as a result of this outside recruitment bonus program. |
