Not all employers move slowly! Today’s success story proves that picking up the phone combined with an experienced recruiter and a motivated employer can lead to remarkably fast results. Remember: the early bird truly does get the worm!
✧ ✧ ✧
Earlier this month, I received a call from an experienced Commercial Account Executive who had recently left her position at a National Brokerage. Despite her impressive tenure and track record, her employer had refused to accommodate her need for a more flexible work arrangement after she relocated 90+ minutes south. The commute had become unsustainable with traffic, yet her request to work fully remote was denied because they said if they made an exception for her, they would have to make an exception for everyone. Sound familiar?
Instead of just submitting her resume online and waiting (like so many candidates do), she took decisive action – she called me directly. Even though I was quite ill that day, within minutes of our conversation, I knew she was an exceptional candidate. We quickly arranged a Zoom meeting for the following day.
✧ ✧ ✧
Candidate Initiative + Recruiter Expertise + Employer Decisive Action = RESULTS:
Monday (5/5): Initial phone call then resume received
Tuesday (5/6): In-depth Zoom consultation with me
Wednesday (5/7): First interview with the Director of Commercial Lines
Thursday (5/8): References requested and checked, second interview with the team that day
Monday (5/12): Final meeting with the company President
Tuesday (5/13): Offer extended and accepted!
In just 8 days from first contact to accepted offer, she secured an excellent new position with the flexibility she needed. With me as her recruiter and coach making the right introductions and keeping things moving, there was no endless waiting, no long delays – just an efficient interview process with her new employer who recognized incredible talent and moved quickly.
✧ ✧ ✧
The RESULT? She received a fantastic offer that met her compensation requirements AND provided the work-life balance she sought. She starts her new role this month!
The moral of the story? The early bird absolutely gets the worm. Making that phone call instead of relying on online applications made all the difference!
