Testimonials

Working with Curtis as a Coach was a unique experience. He was able to help me to communicate my skills
and experience in my interview, so that I could convey my accomplishments in a precise and professional manner.
He helped me to tell my story and I have just accepted my new position.”

“Curtis is a amazing professional that would help anyone with very high standards of morals, ethics and is a real go getter. Curtis is a team player all the way. I am very fortunate to know Curtis and had the opportunity to work with him and he has my highest respect. His integrity is above the call of duty. I would definitely want Curtis on my team."
Deepak M.

“I've used Curtis on numerous occasions in the past to fill my open positions. He took the time to understand my business needs, performed in-depth interviews with his candidates and delivered us top notch qualified individuals. Curtis is the only recruiter I would rely on to provide qualified candidates. He not only takes the time to understand your business, but works to build long-term relationships and help you grow your organization. I'm fortunate to know Curtis and always look forward to working with him to fill staffing needs. Curtis has grown from a business associate of mine to a true friend and partner in the business world.”
Chris C.

“I've worked with Curtis in the talent search process and I can't speak highly enough of his work. He consistently produced the best candidates for the positions for which I was recruiting. Curtis listens well, understands your needs and does not stop until his has found the right fit for you. I've also had the pleasure of working with Curtis with my own career management and I found him to be a trusted advisor with great experience in career coaching. I highly recommend his firm to find the best candidates for you.”
Jeff R.



“Curtis is a hard working and dedicated recruiter. I have engaged his services for both my own personal job searches and for finding qualified candidates to add to my staff. Curtis is extremely personable and really listens to his clients to ensure that the candidates he presents are a good fit for the positions he is engaged to fill.”
Rosemary L.

“Curtis' guidance proved invaluable as I was making my career transition. I was devastated when my former position was eliminated due to mass layoffs, but Curtis gave me the encouragement I needed and helped me land a job that I feel is an even better fit than my former one. His advice was detailed yet easy to understand and it really helped to take the guesswork out of the interview process. I truly feel I wouldn't have had as much success -- especially during such troubled economic times -- without his exceptional coaching skills. I would recommend this workshop to anyone looking to accomplish the next step in meeting their career goals.”

Being Too Casual
Ever wonder why interviewers talk casually in an interview? Sometimes they talk about things they like to do with their family. Then you start talking about things you like to do with your family. You feel like you are gaining rapport by your exchanges, especially if you seem to have things in common.
I had a candidate who loved her interviewer, said they had so much in common. She said she felt like family when she left the interview. Well, let me tell you something. That was family that turned on her!
By the time the interviewer got finished with her, she told him about her divorce, her three children she had to rush home to every evening, her on-again-off-again boyfriend who liked to sit around the campfire until wee hours of the morning, her grandmother who was dying of terminal cancer she was spending a lot of time with. Need I say more? The interviewer passed on her and I could not tell you why, but could have guessed.
Good interviewers will get information out of you without you even knowing it. My point, do not talk about anything in your personal life. Interviewers will definitely pass judgment on you. People want to hire role models of society, no baggage, no personal issues, no obligations other than work, no personal history, no sorrow, no fatigue, no sensitivity and no emotion. They want a robot that can perform with a smile.
If you talk about your accomplishments you were commended for in your previous positions (the ones that related to the job you are interviewing for) and nothing else you can get the job. Don’t take part in idle conversation, just acknowledge it and lead the interviewer back to the subject. You must know how to control the interview.
Team Player vs. Loaner
I realized early on in my recruiting career I couldn’t send out candidates to interviews without properly coaching. I had a great candidate with an excellent background, an Accountant, who I sent to one of my clients for an interview. When he reviewed her resume he wanted to meet her right away.
After the interview I asked the employer if he would like to make this candidate a job offer? He hesitated and said, “We really liked her, but I’m not sure she would work well with the group”. When I questioned his response he said, “When I asked her if she worked better in a group setting or by herself” she replied, “I am not one who needs a lot of help. I can work on my own. With my experience I can accept assignments and get them done with minimal supervision”. The client felt this candidate would be a loaner.
I asked if I could contact the candidate for clarification, knowing it would be nearly impossible to change my client’s mind. The candidate said the employer talked a lot about how inexperienced his team was and he really needed someone who could hit the ground running.
I personally spent 1.5 hours interviewing this candidate before recommending her. She was a lovely lady, someone everyone would enjoy working with. I called the employer back and explained the candidate was trying to convey she could work on her own without requiring much of his assistance. The employer still refused to hire her.
When asked if you work better in a group or by yourself I recommend this answer, “I do well in both settings. I don’t require much supervision but really enjoy working with my colleagues in a group project setting”.
