When you go to buy a house, do you just wander around looking at all the houses for sale and then just decide on one?  When you need a doctor, do you just go to one because their name popped up in a google search of doctors in your area?  When you’re looking for romance, do you just go out with whoever happens to express an interest . . . well, ok, don’t answer that one.  The point is, you have criteria, certain requirements, and you narrow your choices accordingly.

You want to find the job that will be right for you, not one that’s right for anybody, one that’s right for you.  Sometimes you may not have thought about what that is.  We can help you do that.

Land The RIGHT Job, Not Just ANY Job!

Today I spoke with an experienced Chef with high volume Kitchen Manager experience and high volume Chef experience.  She said that to be honest, she doesn’t think much of recruiters, because awhile back when she was a younger chef, a recruiter sent her on a job interview with a concept that doesn’t even “cook” their food.  And, she didn’t know who she was interviewing with until she got there.  She decided to interview with me because of Gecko’s reputation.  Period.

I opened by asking what she would most consider herself, an Executive Chef or an Executive Kitchen Manager?  She appreciated the question and talked about the differences and her preferences.  Ultimately, she wanted to look at positions with high volume, well-known brand concepts with from scratch kitchens.  Out of my 5 opportunities in her geographical area, 2 were a match.  I mentioned them, she was highly interested.  I mentioned one other concept that I could check with for her – she was interested in that one as well – and there we were.  She now had a targeted search.

Her resume will not end up in a computer database with hundreds/thousands of others.  Her resume will go directly to the person in charge of hiring within the organizations we discussed.  Nowhere else right now, and definitely nowhere else without her prior consent.  We are different than other recruiters out there, and our candidates feel the difference.  For us, it’s about relationships.  For us, it’s about the Targeted Search.  Both for our candidates and for our clients.

Could she have landed a job by throwing her resume out there and hoping for the best, possibly.  Would it have been the “right” job for her?  Possibly not.  Why take that chance?  You don’t with your home, you don’t with your doctor, and what you do with regard to romance – well that’s your own business.  Your career?  Let that be ours.

Targeted Search = The Right Fit.

Gecko Hospitality = The Right Recruiter For You.
