Candidate Services

The Kidder Group, Inc. provides the following valuable services to our candidates free of charge. Our clients will cover all the costs associated with advancing your career.

Personal Relationships

We spend time with our candidates building personal relationships with them so that we are better able to learn and promote their strengths.

 

Opportunities for Career Advancement

Our knowledge and networking base as recruiters often allows candidates to advance their careers at a faster rate than staying with the same company would. Our job is to match candidate interests and career aspirations to the positions with our Client Companies. The selection process of our confidential search saves time for everyone.

 

Professional Presentation

The Kidder Group, Inc. professionally reformats resumes in a manner that our clients have found to be clear and concise. We may consult candidates and add additional information to their resumes that may be relevant to the position. Since we feel that professional references are the most qualified people to comment on professional performance, we personally call professional references and often transcribe their comments onto our cover letters. In addition to resumes and references, we may also ask candidates to complete a questionnaire on professional experience or document a few projects with detailed accounts of their involvement. We are striving to present a package of information to our clients that gives a clear picture of the candidate as a person and also includes enough details regarding professional background that they can see where the candidate can become a valuable team member.

Interviews

The Kidder Group, Inc. will also help prepare candidates for the personal interview. We will send out publicly available information on the client company. We will apprise candidates of the company’s preference for dress and etiquette during the interview and coach them on interview procedures. We can suggest what information could be valuable and worth mentioning during the interview and remind candidates to send a “thank-you” note afterward. We then discuss the interview with our client and provide honest feedback to the candidate shortly after the interview. If an offer is pending, we will assist in negotiations and provide statistics on salary ranges for the position and geographical area. Once an offer has been accepted, we will help candidates draft a letter of resignation and relay information on counter-offers. During the next several months, we will follow up and ensure that everything is going well for the candidate and continue to build a long-term relationship.

Relationships Between The Kidder Group, Inc. and Candidates

This information is to help you understand our relationship and the services that we are providing to you free of charge.

While we wish that we could place everyone we work with, the ultimate decision to hire is completely up to the discretion of our Client. We will represent you and convey the information you provide to us in the best light possible. We expect that you will be completely honest with us in all regards. We do check references, and do verify employment and education as a service to our Clients.

Information that you provide will be used for the purpose of finding employment. Confidential information shall be treated accordingly. We do not post resumes on the Internet. All information granted to The Kidder Group, Inc. becomes the property of The Kidder Group, Inc.

There are no monetary charges for your representation to the employer/client. All fees will be covered by the employer/client.

Representations about the duties, probable length of employment, hours, benefits, and salary of prospective positions will be forthright and to the best knowledge of the recruiter. We insist that our clients offer you a written offer on company letterhead with the specifics for the position. Only after you have a written offer in hand will we advise you to give your notice.

Candidates shall be referred to Clients for interviews only on job openings for which at least verbal authority has been given by the employer/client.

We strive to work with companies that are the leaders in their respective fields. We will not work with a company that is known to engage in illegal or questionable business practices, or with a client who is known to be in financial distress (according to the best knowledge of the recruiter).

This is a professional relationship based on mutual trust. We feed our families by earning a commission from our Clients. If we share information with you about a Client, we respectfully ask that you keep this information confidential. If you tell a friend, and they go directly to our Client, we will not earn a commission. We would be glad to work with your friend, and they can just give us a call.

We strive to return every phone call, phone message, and e-mail in a reasonable time. Sometimes we may fall short of perfection, but that is our goal.

We look forward to establishing a long-term relationship with you and helping you advance your career.
