Clients
The first step for a successful hire through The Spencer Group is to set up a meeting where we can meet you, the hiring manager. We’ll want to see the company in action first-hand, observe the culture and ask lots and lots of questions. This information helps give us a good idea of what you’re looking for in the candidate you’ll eventually hire. From there, we’ll map out a plan to find the best candidate suited for your position.

With 19 years in the business of recruiting advertising/marketing professionals, we have a pretty good idea where to find the best and the brightest. Consequently, we make every effort to personally interview each candidate to evaluate their experience and decide if they’d be a fit. Then we will present, on average, three to four candidates of whom we will work with you to set up all interviews.

We provide feedback and expertise on the securing of the preferred candidate such as: relocation, salary negotiation, offer, interview tips, start date, benefits and the ill-effects of accepting a counter-offer.

Pretty easy huh?

Candidates
The first step is getting in contact with us by emailing your resume as either a Word document or PDF and if you’re a creative then send us your portfolio too. Then, we’ll schedule a call to get to know each other. Sometimes we might meet over lunch or a cup of coffee. We’ll talk about what kind of job you’re looking for, and what kind of business environment would be ideal.
When a position becomes available that sounds like a good fit, we’ll be in touch to tell you about the job and the company it’s at, plus answer any questions you have about things like benefits, corporate structure or even the brand of coffee served. If it sounds like a match to you, too, then we’ll schedule an interview with the prospective company. After that interview, we’ll touch base again to relay feedback from the people doing the hiring about what they thought and how the interview went.

When an offer is extended, if needed we’ll help negotiate a salary. And don’t worry, it’s understood between us and your new employer that The Spencer Group’s compensation for your placement won’t affect those negotiations.

And now you’re ready to show the world what you’ve got!
