Frequently Asked Questions

What is my “Candidate Summary” for?

Applications

We have found that a 2-3 sentence summary of your experience and qualifications is more effective at selling a candidate than a cover letter. Think of your “Candidate Summary” as your generic elevator-pitch to employers about why they should want to hire you.

Your bio will be pre-filled into applications, and you can edit/customize it before submitting. Submitting a bio with your applications is not required, but highly recommended.

What are referral inquiries?

When our recruiting team launches a new role, we often reach out to relevant contacts for any referrals they might be able to share.  We generally reach out to you for referrals when we are searching for a role in your market that you have previously managed. We try to ensure we don’t do this more than once a month at most, but will probably do so much less frequently than that.» Read More
