Dear Candidates,
Thank you for taking the time to review our website in your job search. We recommend a thorough review of our clients and engagements.
If your experience fits with our practices we want to know about you.
You should be aware that our work is driven by client demand (specific mandates) and doesn’t always match executive candidate supply.
Please send us a copy of your current resume with information on your compensation history, ability/interest in relocating, size and stage of company you are looking for and anything else you think we should know about you.
If your skills and experience match any of our current or near term engagements we will be in touch with you directly and personally to discuss the situation.
We will strive to:
- Keep the discussion confidential. Ours is a business of discretion. We will not expose anyone beyond our direct client without their prior consent and we will remind our clients as often as is appropriate, to do the same.
- Tell you what we really think about the situations we are representing. We strive to represent compelling companies and opportunities but every situation has its flaws, and we try to be candid and open about these, constructively. We'll give you a solid industry overview, our thinking about how our clients will succeed vs. the competition, and how the role you are exploring will impact that process.
- Interview you against the job description and be thorough in our evaluation. You won't waste your time interviewing for the wrong job or situation, just so that we can "keep clients busy." If we don't think you're right, we'll tell you early on.
- Provide feedback that's meaningful. We don't coach candidates. We need them to succeed or fail in the interview process on their own merit. But to the extent that we can be helpful in providing useful feedback, we will do that and we try to be constructive every time.
- Follow up with you. We won't let you sit for weeks between events or meetings not knowing what's happening.
- Make this a painless process. We try and keep every engagement with a candidate to 30 to 45 days from start to finish. It won't drag on for months and months and with endless meetings. We know you have a "day job" and are a busy, engaged executive who doesn't have a lot of time to waste.
Whether the end game is making you an offer, or telling you we went a different direction and why, we won't leave the dialogue open. We will close the loop properly and professionally.
You will not be treated unfairly based upon race, creed, gender or any other factor other than professional achievement, fit factors and technical qualifications. We are proud of our commitment to diversity, and enthusiastically celebrate the hiring of minorities and women into senior executive roles.
If you ever have a negative experience with our firm, we invite you to contact Hale Cochran at hale@polachi.com to discuss the problem.
We'll do everything we can to correct the problem and will be sincere in this effort.
Very truly yours,
The Team at Polachi
