Many thanks to the entire SC&C team for how they all helped me learning so much more about myself, my faith in God and my capabilities through my beliefs in both God and myself. I became involved with SCC back in 2016. I was looking at taking what I saw as potentially a significant financial downgrade with my relocation from the US mid Atlantic region in the Baltimore/Washington area due to what turned out to be the beginnings of a booming region of the nation. The ROI (Return on investment) with what I paid SC&C to mention those that hate and refuse to recognize, accept or understand the personal gains that Capitalism, can and/or will provide, has more than exceeded what I paid for their services. I owe many thanks and a great deal of gratitude to Fred and his his team. I am eternally grateful for aligning me with Mr. Bill Temple as my couch. He helped provided me life lessons which enabled me to better understand myself and my capabilities that have significantly help me in my career and personal matters. I owe a great deal of thanks to the SC& C team for helping me personally in many ways James D. McGowan II

I am not a client of this firm I am not a client of this firm, but after reading the mostly positive reviews, I thought it might be helpful for some of those job hunters out there to hear my experience. I just received an email from Stewart, Cooper and Coon presenting me with a 7-question questionnaire, presumably to screen me as a potential client. The one that caught my attention was the last question - "As truthful as you can be, what will be the biggest reason companies may incorrectly/inadvertently "pass over you"? In my case, this question is really the crux of my entire job hunting experience. I believe that I can offer a high degree of value to an employer - value that is not readily translatable in a resume or cover letter. So far I evidently haven't been able to effectively project that value to potential employers, which leaves me nowhere thus far. I have employed the services of 2 other firms, both requiring money from me, and I have to say that I'm done shelling out money and getting no results. If I had encountered Stewart, Cooper and Coon earlier in my job hunting journey, before I paid a lot of money to these 2 other firms, I would probably pursue the possibility of working with SC&C. But I'm done paying money to find a job and that's how I intend to respond to the emailed questionnaire. What happened to the traditional model of recruitment firms getting their money from the hiring employer? I know that those percentages are high and companies are tired of paying what could amount to be exorbitant fees. Maybe those fees should be reduced across the board. Bottom line for me is, if a potential employer truly sees long term value in me as an employee, they shouldn't hesitate to pay the fee. If I'm going to provide long term value, then that fee will pay for itself many times over.

Snake oil folks Snake oil folks. A legit recruiter will never charge the client (you) for their services. I've worked with recruiters for years, successfully securing most of the positions I've had and guess what? Not once was a fee discussed. I've also worked in technology for many years and I can see a good online review marketing campaign when I see one. Zero companies have almost a 5-star review, they don't exist. These reviews are left by employees through their real accounts or by creating fake ones. Save your money, leverage LinkedIn, Indeed and Glassdoor. Update your resume and start job hunting. If you're well qualified a legitimate recruiter will reach out to you and work hard on your behalf to secure you the right position. In addition, most mid-large companies have internal recruiters that will reach out to you directly. Don't get suckered into paying your hard earned money for an unnecessary and ineffective service.

A Great Partner After exhausting several months of looking for an opportunity in my field through on line searches, I decided to invest in myself by partnering with Steward, Cooper & Coons. It was a true partnership throughout the process. Through a detailed approach of worksheets and discussion, my career campaign coach got to know my skills, experience, career successes and career goals to help me create tools to promote myself. I truly had a partner that understood my strengths and the value I will add to my next position. I consider myself with above average interview skills, having an HR background and being in a position to interview and select upper management talent. By using the tools we created I enhanced my interview skills and found the feedback from my coach to be both on target and specific to further elevate my skills. My career coach is professional, detailed, knowledgeable, and truly a great partner! I am happy my career search led me to Stewart, Cooper & Coon to create a partnership that kept me focused, detailed and aggressive in my search to finding a position and company that I am very excited about.
