Call me to talk about

Executive Advisor, Career and Search Coach

In speaking with a number of executives over the years, I have come to understand that most CxOs understand the basic concepts of conducting a job search but lack the bandwidth to provide the right level of resource and process to make it happen proactively. Additionally I have found that only the top 5% of all job seekers employ strategies for uncovering hidden job opportunities. Even today most executives rely upon a typical and out-dated “job board” search process. This leads to an extended search process where the job seeker is often discouraged by their lack of success in networking with the right people for their next opportunity.

In response to this market need and as a personal mission, we launched:

Talentric™ – Executive Advisor Services

In this fully engaged candidate representation model, I personally work one-on-one advising my client during their active or passive job search. During the initial stages of the process, I help to redefine their candidacy, and tailor their candidate presentation in a unique way to distinguish them from the overall candidate pool. Our candidate presentation process goes beyond the standard resume document and additionally incorporates leadership assessment, project/initiative experiences, and proactive reference data for a complete candidate profile. Aside from the electronic document creation, we also work with our client to improve their online presentation on social media sites such as Linked In and others. It is important to make these new mediums work for you and create consistency for you as a candidate.

Beyond this new and unique way to present candidates to the marketplace, I personally coach our client in creating a targeted company list. In a classic sales/sourcing approach, we work with the candidate to develop a list of companies that fit their desired industry, culture, and geographical profile for employment. Our in-house research team works to identify key executives within those networks and a targeted networking list is created. The mission at this point is to continually work the list and seek opportunities for the candidate to network with the appropriate person within that targeted organization. My personal network of over 1800 CxOs across the country provides us a platform for warm introductions into desired companies for my clients.

Finally, I personally coach our client both before and after each successful networking opportunity or interview. In the end accountability is shared and effort is required by the candidate to keep the search proactive. Both candidate and coach connect formally 2x per month with unlimited emails as required for ongoing coaching and motivation.

After the initial three month engagement, additional coaching services are delivered on a month-to-month basis during which the candidate may cancel at any time. The initial three month period is billed at $15000.00. (Alternatively – ad hoc/ongoing coaching sessions are available on an hourly basis at $400/hour with a two hour minimum per month.)

Granted this process requires not only a small investment – but also a dedication of time. As your personal coach – I will absolutely hold you accountable to a process that will put you into the top 5% person of job seekers nationwide.

Let’s get started!

CIO Partners is without a doubt the best recruiting agency I have worked with in my 15 years of IT experience. They know how to take pre-requisites for a candidate and then recruit them for your business. It is obvious when you sit down with a recruit on their first interview that CIOPOA has done their homework recruiting this person. The big difference between CIOPOA and other recruiting agencies is that they are actually a partner. They know if they place a candidate with you that they have a vested interest in the outcome of the candidate. I have enjoyed our ten year partnership.

The team at CIO Partners that we worked with was attentive and responsive at all times. I would certainly use them again.

I hired Mike Burgett and CIO Partners to lead a senior level technology search for our school. We appreciated their unique understanding of the market and their ability to present candidates in alignment with our needs in the education sector. I would highly recommend their work. Mike's integrity and work ethic around the hiring process and subsequent support made us feel confident that we had pursued the right service option.

Mike and the CIO Partners team really understand the technology industry and take the time to learn about the candidates background. Other firms tend to play as generic placement firms whereas CIO Partners truly understands the industry and the candidates. This differentiates Mike. He strategically matches the skills and capabilities of a candidate to the needs of the client. I am very comfortable recommending Mike.
