Answers to frequently asked
questions from Clients/Employers
Employers can engage our consultants to scan the market place for candidates
that meet their requirements by: Calling our office and providing our
consultants with a detailed verbal description of their requirements. Or
send printed position descriptions to us by US mail, email or by
completing our online employer search assignment form found on our contact us
page.
The answer to this question understandably varies with the degree and
difficulty of each individual search assignment. We typically can conclude
most executive search assignments in a timely manner coinciding with the desired
hire date set by the client.
We are a retained executive search and recruiting firm. All fees are
paid exclusively by the employers and there is never a cost to the
candidate. Contingency firms charge candidates and typically cannot
offer opportunities with premier organizations.
The Pailin Group has several professional search disciplines. We
typically are called on by employers to recruit middle to senior executive
professionals in the following areas: Accounting & Finance, Sales & Marketing, Legal, Health Care,
Engineering, Non Profit, MIS/Information Technology, General Management, Communications/Media Relations, Human Resources Management, and Organizational Design & Development. Minority & Bilingual search specialties.
The old fashioned way. We diligently recruit them! Although many
of our search techniques and strategies are customized and not shared with the
general public. We do utilize some of the standard avenues used in our
industry. Including relying heavily on the database of professionals we
maintain in-house that has been some ten plus years in the making. We also
have the trust and respect from our clients and candidates to alert us of super
achievers in the market place. And lastly we ethically infiltrate the
ranks of your competitors and others and present your requirements to only the
most qualified and receptive professionals.
Yes certainly! Our clients dictate the search criteria.
Employers can instruct our consultants to recruit only in your local
metropolitan areas or expand to national or even go global. As a rule we
start all searches by trying to save our clients relocation costs by recruiting
locally. The market typically dictates the necessity to expand the search
parameters if need be.
All fees are paid by the employers retaining our services. There is
never a fee for the candidate. Thus we are employed by the clients and
they dictate our search criteria.

Can
you conduct a national search for candidates that meet my requirements?
Of course we have national search capabilities. Our vast network of
consultants, researchers and associates will scan the national market place per
your requirements. We will then submit a hand picked selection of the best
for your consideration.

What
resources are utilized while conducting a search?
People are your greatest asset. When it comes to finding experienced professionals, there is no better resource than the Pailin Group Professional Search Consultants. We are a specialized executive search and recruiting firm with some major differences from other recruiters. These differences produce superior executive search consulting results. Professionals experienced in their particular industry staff each of our divisions. Our exclusive National Candidate Referral Network enables us to locate the best qualified candidates throughout the country. The net result? The fastest, most efficient executive search recruiting firm ever developed.
Your company can benefit from our
specialization
Our company is composed of independent divisions, each with its own staff and operations. At the Pailin Group you will never find a data processing consultant recruiting for an engineering position. Or the reverse! We utilize only the best qualified consultants and researchers for each valued search assignment. That means consultants who can understand your specific requirements and can communicate them in the market place with diligence, influence and enthusiasm.
In the search business timing is everything! Using our powerful database of resources, your industry specialist search consultant screens every potential candidate. For length of experience. Specialties. Salary requirements. Education. Geographic preferences and even less obvious compensatory factors.
Our recruiters will target your competitors or other organizations where top talent will be ready to hear of career opportunities. We personally interview the top candidates and then present you with a hand picked group of the best to consider.
Will
your consultants verify candidate backgrounds and education prior to submitting
them for my consideration?
Using our powerful database of resources, your industry specialist search consultant screens every potential candidate. For length of experience. Specialties. Salary requirements. Education. Geographic preferences and even less obvious compensatory factors.
All verifications are fully completed prior to candidate submissions to our
clients.
Back to Top
Do
you guarantee the performance of the new employee hired through your
efforts?
Yes we do provide employers with a service
guarantee. If any employee hired through our efforts leaves your firm or
is terminated with just cause within the first thirty (30) days of employment,
we will replace the employee upon five (5) days written notification. For this
guarantee to be in effect all fees must be received within ten (10) days from
the new employee’s original start date. It is understood that the Pailin Group
cannot guarantee the performance of the candidate. Our responsibility is to
present qualified applicants for your review and consideration per the
requirements issued by your organization. The formal extension of an offer of
employment is the responsibility of the employer. However, as a service to our
clients, Professional Search Consultants can extend offers to candidates upon
authorization from the employer.
Do
you use your current clients as sources for locating candidates for other
employers?
No, never! In our industry there are two types
of distinguishing characteristics given to all organizations in the market
place. They are simply, client companies or source companies. We
would never break the trust we have we earned and jeopardize the business
relationships with our clients by recruiting their employees for
others.
Answers to frequently asked
questions from Professionals/Candidates
Will
the consultants call or write me every week to inform me of my candidate status?
Although we would love to talk with you
everyday! Unfortunately our consultants frankly are so totally consumed
with research and locating the best talent in the market place per our clients
current requirements time constraints won't allow this practice.
However when you do get a call from our offices.
Responding immediately could be a career decision. Therefore please never
assume that because we cannot call you everyday that we have discarded
your information. On the contrary! We realize how busy you are and
respect your time by only contacting you when we have substantive information to
report.
Additionally you can rest assured that each assignment
begins with an internal review of the background of every qualified candidate in
our database. Therefore if your information is housed in our confidential
files. You will get first consideration regarding all opportunities that parallel
your credentials.
We have found that most professionals appreciate this
posture. They fully understand that we do in fact work for the employers
and cannot conduct personal employment searches for individuals.
How
can I send my resume in for a confidential review?
It's easy! You can mail your hard copy
information complete with cover outlining salary, geographic preferences and availability
to:
email to: Pailin Group PSC
info@pailingroup.com (inline, no attachments and our name only must be in the
to: address line) (We will not accept mass mailed information) to Submitresume@pailingroup.com
I've
never heard of the Pailin Group. Is this a new company? Are you some
type of employment agency?
Last question first. We are not an employment
agency and want to make this distinction clear at the outset. We are a
retained executive search consulting firm listed among the nations' best.
In operation since 1989. We are based in Dallas Texas with regional
offices in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. We serve premier organizations that
can't afford to compromise in securing their greatest assets, their people.
Perhaps one reason why you have not heard of us is because
we typically do not do a lot of advertising. We are called in by organizations
primarily after traditional advertising, other avenues including internet, and
after our competitors have failed. We see no reason to duplicate their
advertising efforts. Our experiences have shown that the most productive
professionals in the market place today are not regularly looking through the
classifieds.
Thus organizations have spent hundreds of dollars on
adds but their best targets will never read them! They are happy and productive
where they are and can only be reached regarding opportunities confidentially
by recruiting professionals armed with assignments that will leverage
their careers.
Therefore you will probably never see our name
plastered across the classified page. We bank on our recruiting strategies
and a national network that has time and time again produced the results desired
by our clients.
What
size and type of employers list their requirements with the Pailin Group?
Our client base consists of Global and National
Premier Organizations. Fortune 500 firms, Major Non Profit Organizations
and high potential small and private concerns engage our services.
Just to name a few - AMR Corporation, Exxon Mobile Corporation,
Occidental Chemical Corporation, IBM Corporation, Phillip Morris USA, Mutual Of
Omaha, Hoechst Celanese Corporation, Siemens Business Communications Corporation,
New York Life Insurance Company, Oracle, Dell, Nortel, The American Heart
Association, Praxair, Methodist Hospital, Central % Southwest Corporation, SBC,
Microsoft Corporation, Black Enterprise, Cole McDonald Corporation, Intel
Corporation and many more...
Our client listings proudly dates back to 1989.
The Pailin Group is uniquely qualified to meet the needs of your
organization. Contact us today at info@pailingroup.com!
Can
you provide me with client references?
Of course prior to any engagement we can provide
industry related references for perspective client organizations.
Does
the Pailin Group publish any type of candidate help guides? Any Seminars?

talents and abilities The Pailin Group guides
are comprehensive and designed to meet the needs of today's high caliber fast
track professionals. Authored by seasoned executive search, compensation,
contract negotiation, and organizational development professionals that have

to be successful with all of your career endeavors, even if we are not the
recruiters that have the opportunity to present you with the ideal position you
have been dreaming of securing. Our series for professionals
contains essential techniques, scenarios, and strategic winning approaches to
make your new or future career search a success.
Today's competitive professional environment means that everyone needs to
take control of their own career and advancement. Tangible skills,
education, and experiences are always key but our experience in executive search
has shown that truly the intangibles are what separates the good from the
best.
Our executive workshops and publications focus on the essentials of
interviewing with confidence, professional etiquette, appearance and more. We provide valuable tips and proven strategies to answer seemingly impossible
interview questions; how to ultimately take control of an interview and stay in
the drivers seat.

Will
you write or update my resume for me?
We are sorry but we do not offer in-house resume
writing services. We do however provide publications that will allow you
to craft a professional resume suitable for presentation to our clients and for
submission to other organizations. Please see our guides & seminars
pages for a complete listing of expert self help candidate marketing and
interviewing strategy publications.
I've
sent my resume in but have not heard back from your consultants after receiving
the acknowledgment of my submission. Why?
First of all thank you for submitting your information
for our consultants review. We are pleased that you have selected our firm
to help further leverage your career. We sincerely hope to present you
with a career opportunity in the near future on behalf of our clients. However
as a rule unless we do in fact have an opportunity currently to present, our
consultants will not contact you again until we have a search assignment that parallels
your credentials. We will maintain your information in our database and
will not mass mail or present your information to anyone without your expressed authorization.
Back to Top
I'll
be in Dallas or Philadelphia next week. Can I just stop in and interview
with the Pailin Group consultants at anytime?
We wish we could interview everyone at their convenience
however our interviews are only conducted strictly by appointment. Please
call our offices first and if you qualify for any of our current search activity,
our consultants will schedule you in accordingly.
I
live in Utah and the Pailin Group has presented an opportunity in New
York. Who pays for my interview transportation and lodging expenses?
Most of our clients will assume all travel and
relocation cost associated with securing the winning profile per their
requirements. All compensation, benefits, relocation, and interview
expense information is thoroughly covered with candidates in advance by our
consultants for each assignment. Also in our active search
assignment & current recruiting listings, relocation assumption status is
indicated within the search criteria outlined.
How
long will the Pailin Group keep my resume on file?
A minimum of one year or until removal is requested by
the candidate.
Will
the Pailin Group send my resume out to hundreds of employers without notifying
me first?
Never! Unlike some of our competitors, we pledge not
to mass mail your information only to hope and wish there is a match. You and
our clients deserve better than the scattershot failed tools of recruiting
utilized by other firms.
Do
any of the Pailin Group's clients require physical exams, drug testing, credit
or background investigations?
Most of our clients do require some form of
verifications of education, physical health, credit, and other. Frankly
some are more stringent than others depending on the level of the opportunity
and the type of organization. All verifications are presented to each
candidate during our recruiting process for their approval. The choice is
solely up to the candidate if he or she wishes to agree and sign off on these
verifications or not. Please note that declining mandatory verifications
imposed by our clients may end further candidacy consideration.
The Pailin Group at a minimum, will require
citizenship, education, employment and reference verification prior to
submission of all candidate information to our clients.
One
of your consultants called me but would not release the name of the employer
that wanted to recruit me. Why?
Many of our executive level assignments are conducted
in a highly confidential manner. Although we will be representing an
actual opportunity with a viable organization. In some instances for
security, competitive and other reasons. Our clients have requested that
their specific contact and other related information be shielded from all
candidates until there is a true mutual interest. In these instances all appropriate
information will be shared only after our client has selected a qualifying pool
to release all pertinent information to including location, salary, position
responsibilities etc.
It sounds secretive but in today's competitive market
place it is not uncommon and a large percentage of our assignments fall into
this category.
Should
I call your consultants every week to check my candidate status?
Please do not! Although we would love to talk
with you. We probably will not have the time to do so. We welcome
you updating our files with new contact information, position changes,
promotions and the like. However if everyone in our database did the same
we would not be able to effectively recruit for candidates that meet our clients
needs. Which is truly the essence of our business. Thus please trust we
will contact you when we have substantive information to
report.
If
I see a position advertisement from a company can I call to have your
consultants present my background to the employer?
It depends on what company the position is with.
If we have a relationship with that organization surely it would be in your best
interest to have a trusted Pailin Group consultant present and represent
you.
If not we would recommend that you pursue that great opportunity
on your own with our high hopes and best encouragement that you get it.
Then call our consultants later on to help when you start cleaning house and
staffing up with persons that will respond to your management style and your
high productivity levels.
Where
can I find a listing of current search assignments that are being conducted
world wide?
This can happen in a few different ways. You may
hear of Pailin Group search activity from a colleague, friend, or family
member. Our consultants may tract you to personally present our clients
requirements. Or you can visit our home page at www.PailinGroup.com and
click on our "Active Recruiting" section for a full listing of every
search we are conducting world wide.
What
is the preferred method to get my information to your consultants?
There are many ways to send information to our
firm. However the preferred method is over the internet by email.
Please send all information inline with no attachments. Also the Pailin
Group or one of our consultants must be in the to column. Mass mailed, courtesy
copied, blind copied or sender undisclosed messages are not acceptable. It is simply the
fastest least expensive manner for professionals to submit and receive a quick confirmation
from our offices. Resumes & inquiries should be sent to submitresume@pailingroup.com
Of course you are welcome to use US mail,
but the preferred method is by email. Please see the facsimile number and
our mailing address on our "contact us" page.
I
understand that all fees are normally paid by the employers but can I still send
in a check and have your consultants act as my personal recruiter?
No. Our services are exclusively retained by
employers and we will not accept funds from candidates to conduct individual
employment searches.
