A Letter From The President


YOU PAY FOR OUR SUCCESSES – NOT OUR ATTEMPTS

Recently I read an article about recruiting on the Internet. The statistics were appalling. Of over 5,000 recruiters and hiring managers contacted, 92% reported being inundated with irrelevant responses to their job postings. Most participants indicated that they received hundreds of responses per online job posting. In addition, 71% of the resumes did not even match the description of the posted job.

Jacobs Management Group, Inc. is not the Internet! Our goal when working with you is more than simply delivering candidates. It's managing the process at the professional level you deserve. Let's start with numbers. As of August 1st we have:

147,179 candidates in our database, all in the healthcare field.
• 12,499 managers in our database, all in the healthcare field.
• 91.2% of our business is repeat business. This comes either from managers in their current positions, or from those who move on to new roles and continued the relationship with JMG because they were satisfied with our services.
• 9.8% of our business is from a continuously growing client base.

Only 5% of our placements have come from utilizing the Internet in the last 24 months.
The balance comes from recruiting, leads, referrals, past relationships and our current database. As a contingency recruiting firm, you only pay us for our successes not our attempts.

Why might a search assignment go awry? There are many reasons. Two primary stumbling blocks are an inability of the search consultant to communicate with the hiring authority, and the hiring manager not being aware of important issues from the candidate's side. Typically, this occurs when a company prevents contact with the direct hiring authority, and limits crucial business information that enables us to manage the search process. Candidates will speak candidly with us and communicate concerns or issues they may never raise with you, the prospective employer. As the recruiting expert and a third party facilitating the process, we can sense when there is resistance from a candidate. JMG, Inc. can relay any hidden issues to you, and we (you and your JMG, Inc. consultant) can then determine an appropriate resolution that is in the best interest of your company.

Going forward, we are here to earn your respect the old fashioned way--one placement at a time.

Our hope is that you have a magnificent fall season of growth and prosperity. And as your needs arise, please call us with your assignments so we can help you achieve your success. We welcome your thoughts on how we could improve our services.

 

 

 

Warm regards,

Laura F. Jacobs,
President
