Catherine Lang-Cline, President

It's Too Late to Start Your Search

By Chris Cochran, Director

Clients come to Portfolio Creative seeking help for their open role when they either don't have the time for a thorough search or the people power to dedicate to it. Ultimately, money can be saved by having us find you that perfect person when you add up all the hours that it costs to identify, pursue, engage and hire. However, companies feel they save money when they don't use a search firm. The problem is that they haven't done enough preparation for when the time comes to hire (that's what we do here at Portfolio Creative - spend our time finding people for when you'll need them). It's too late to start your search when you need someone. A company should have already identified candidates of interest and even have interviewed people throughout the year who could be the perfect fit for that unexpected need. 

  

Candidates come to Portfolio Creative seeking help with finding a new job. It's a good idea to have people looking out for you and sharing open jobs with you. The situations that people find themselves in vary and everyone has their own unique story that has resulted in this need for a new gig. Often, we hear candidates tell us that they're unexpectedly out of a job or that they didn't think they'd be looking now, but they are. When one does not have a job or any prospects lined up, it certainly feels like it's too late to start the search you should have already been conducting. We can help. We can be that boost and that aspect of your network that comes through for you.
