What you can expect.

Your candidacy will be held in strict confidence and you will be thoroughly interviewed.

We want to fully understand your professional experience and background, what issues are important to you in regard to your current job search (why you are considering making a change) and your long-term career goals. We also want to know the more subjective motivators for you as a person. We realize these are of equal importance when determining a right "fit" in a new opportunity. The more we know about you, the better job we can do screening potential opportunities on your behalf.

We will make good use of your time.

We know your time is valuable and so is ours. We also know it can be difficult for you to take time off from work for interviews and to discuss career opportunities while you are at work. You will find that we respect your situation and will be as succinct and discreet as possible when we have to contact you at work. Also, because of our thoroughness in getting to know you, you will be presented only to companies whose values and culture closely match what you are looking to find.

We will always be straightforward and honest.

Although all fees for our services are paid by our client companies, we know that high-quality candidates are our greatest asset. We have always realized that today’s candidate is tomorrow’s client, and we are proud of the fact that a majority of our business is repeat business. This is a testament to the professional and ethical way we do business, and our goal is to have long-term relationships with both clients and candidates.

We will always provide you information about each career opportunity to prepare you for every interview with one of our clients.

We know our clients and have the details about the opportunities they offer. We will make sure you have all pertinent information to give you a competitive edge. We understand that very few people feel comfortable in an interviewing situation. A great deal of the anxiety about the interviewing comes as a result of a lack of information. We know if you are well-informed before you sit down with a hiring manager, you will perform better and be in a position to think clearly and make an educated decision about the opportunity.

We will have feedback for you after a client interview.

Your Houser Martin Morris consultant will be able to offer constructive comments, as well as encouragement, designed to improve your interviewing abilities. He/she also knows it is important for you to be advised in a timely fashion if you are a viable candidate for an opportunity, especially if you have other career opportunities you are evaluating.

We will play an important role in securing the best possible offer.

One of the most important benefits we offer you is the role of third party negotiator when you become a serious candidate for an opportunity with one of our clients. We handle salary discussions every day, and, as a third- party mediator, we are able to negotiate the fairest offer for both candidate and client.

What we expect from you.

Be straightforward and honest about your background and skills, your current employment situation, as well as your current desires and long-term career goals.

Houser Martin Morris’ clients trust us to locate the best and most qualified candidates for their opportunities, and we uphold that trust by thoroughly interviewing and screening everyone we represent.

Keep us informed of any changes in your job status (including change in title and/or compensation), as well as the status of your job search.

Often we have exceptional opportunities which become available with clients on a confidential basis. If we are aware that you are a serious candidate for another opportunity, or have an offer pending, we may be able to speed up the interview process with our client and give you another option before you make your decision. Finally, it is very important that you are candid with us about competing offers you may receive. You should view us as professionals who can objectively help you evaluate the several options you may have available.

During the interview process, keep your schedule as flexible as possible.

We understand job search is just one of several priorities in your life, and our clients will do their best to avoid schedule conflicts. However, you can help in the process by being as accommodating as possible.

Contact your Houser Martin Morris consultant as soon as possible after an interview.

We want to hear your thoughts and need to be able to give our client feedback on a timely basis. We will also expect to know your level of interest in the opportunity.

Be honest and candid with us about the opportunity presented to you.

If you become a final candidate, we will expect you to identify any issues that would prevent you from accepting a fair offer.

Let us obtain the best realistic offer for you.

We know that your major reasons for seeking other career opportunities go beyond compensation. Over the long-term, when you concentrate on career development, the compensation will automatically follow. We have a reputation for securing the best possible offer for our candidates and find that by acting as a third party, everyone wins.
