getting hired pain point

Should finding a good job be difficult? We don’t think so, and that led us to create a unique experience for candidates. Here are a few core beliefs that we think most people share and would like to see within the recruiting process. If you agree and think that our approach makes sense, please consider joining our Career Network. If you have additional questions, please contact us.

People like to help other people

The Accolo Career Network is more than just a place to upload your resume and apply for a job. We help our members help each other by encouraging them to refer friends to jobs that they might find appropriate. Even if the jobs currently available are not what you’re looking for, by joining the Career Network you can automatically be notified of new positions that might be the perfect fit for you, or for positions that might be right for your friends and colleagues. This could be the best way to get your roommate off the couch, your son out of your basement, or help someone else you know.

It should be what you know, not who you know

Networking is consistently cited as the number one way to get the job you want.  Accolo’s online interview gets your foot in the door without a warm introduction.  By answering the job-specific questions built into our online interview, your specific skills, experiences, talents and knowledge go directly to the hiring manager and the Accolo Hiring Consultant managing the job.  When compared this way, it becomes obvious that an unknown candidate with the perfect background is a better choice than a co-worker’s brother’s cousin who is a “people person.” Ah, the joys of a level playing field.

Online applications don’t have to be a black hole

Accolo ensures that every applicant receives follow up and closure, regardless of the outcome.  Our online process isn’t just an application, it’s an interview designed by Accolo and approved by the hiring manager that gives you the opportunity to set yourself apart from the crowd.  We regularly receive thank you notes from candidates that didn’t get the job, but appreciate our thoroughness and follow through. Respect is contagious.

Recruiters should respond and follow up in a timely manner

Accolo represents hundreds of companies and interacts with thousands of individuals.  You are not just a “candidate”—you are a potential colleague, investor, customer, referral source and more.  We want to build a relationship with you that lasts decades, and our follow-up and communications reflect that goal. 

You should know which company you are applying for

The Accolo Career Network provides transparency. When most people apply for an Accolo supported job, they don’t even notice us.  You’ll see our client’s logo on job postings and learn why it would be great to join their organization. The ability to seamlessly partner with our clients is an important trait– for candidates, it means no hiding, no smoke and mirrors, no vague statements.

Job descriptions should be accurate

Before we craft the job description and online interview process, we conduct a detailed and thorough profile of the job with the hiring manager.  Not only does that give us a precise picture of what our clients are looking for, it ensures the job is specific and real.  The job descriptions we develop are more than just accurate—they are a personal communication to you of why the job is the right one for you, and what you’ll need to be successful.  You won’t see bulleted lists of what you “must have”—recruiting is a two-way street, and we want to convey why this is the right opportunity for you.
