FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Body Count List? The list contains a technical disguised summary of a candidate’s background?
Why is the summary disguised? There is a chance that someone at your current employer may see your summary. If you are currently employed and trying to maintain confidentiality we disguise the summary. This is very confidential service. The companies do not receive your name, address or any other contact information. Through our newsletter the hiring managers only see a synopsis of your background and personal interests. If they are interested in your skills we will contact you and then forward a resume to the client.
How much does it cost? Currently there is no charge for candidates, but as costs and handling arise we may charge a nominal fee.
Who gets the summary? The Body Count List is sent to Hiring Managers and Human Resources by regular mail and email.
Why does the Body Count List work? It is unique, easy to read, contains personal information, and does not get mixed in with thousands of other resumes.
How do I get an interview? After reading the Body Count List, if the client company is interested, they request a copy of your resume. At that point we either schedule an interview or forward your resume.
Will my information be included in the Body Count List? Due to volume not all candidates can be listed in the newsletter but will still be part of our job search service and actively supported.
How often is the Body Count List sent to client companies? We currently send out the List monthly. As the market changes and becomes more robust we will change to bi-weekly and so on.
When do companies call you? Companies usually contact us immediately after reading The Body Count List, but may also call about a candidate, months later. If this happens we will contact you and ask if you are available or interested in new opportunities.
Why is it called the Body Count List? It’s a name clients remember.
Why do I need personal information? You do not have to include personal information. Personal information is not included to discriminate it is intended to stimulate interest. When companies hire it is easy to ‘tech you out’. Either you have the skills or you don’t. After that it gets personal. Do you fit in or not? Remember you are asking the same thing. Do I want to work at this company? The personal information is used to make you stand out.
