SC&C Helped Me Effectively Organize & Manage My Job Search After searching for over 18 months I have found employment in the chemical industry and wanted to express my gratitude to your company for helping me organize and manage my job search so effectively. My search begin when my previous employer restructured and my position as Vice President, Sales, was eliminated and I was back in the job market without a coherent plan of action. I found Stewart, Cooper & Coon, six months into my job search and, after speaking with your staff, I decided to utilize SC&C services. It was the best decision of my career. Their processes of evaluation, SHARE story creation, my WebFolio, the great coaching, help in preparing for interviews, and help and support during negotiation was invaluable. I was then focused and fully prepared for my job search. My Campaign Director was a constant source of inspiration, motivation, solid advice, and tremendous assistance during the entire search process, truly dedicated to helping her clients any way at any time and a true professional in every sense of the word. I recommend Stewart, Cooper & Coon highly and am happy to act as a reference.

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.

I hired Stewart Cooper and Coon to … I hired Stewart Cooper and Coon to assist me with my transition to the civilian world after retiring from the Army. They did a great job of preparing my resume, helping me focus on interview preparation and thinking about my next move. The work of actually finding a position was left more to me than I had anticipated. While I did not find a position through their firm, the preparation for interviewing was definitely well-done and improved my poise and self confidence in the interview.

My introductory experience My introductory experience with Stewart, Cooper, and Coon was exemplary. I was contacted by a Senior Executive Consultant shortly after posting my resume online. He took the time to review my resume and contact me to gauge my level of interest in using an Executive Search service. During our first call I found that my consultant asked thoughtful questions regarding my background, experience, desires, and interests for the future of my career search. We scheduled a follow-up call during which my consultant said he would provide me with a courtesy review of my resume and some tips for my career search, all being gratis. I left the first call feeling rather impressed. Our second call was a real eye-opener. My consultant lead me thru some of my resume deficiencies, and furthermore tested my interview preparedness. I was surprised to see that there was so much to learn about how to market and brand oneself. I found the introductory and review sessions conducted by Stewart, Cooper, and Coon to far exceed my expectations. They weren’t just a sales pitch. I took away some fantastic insights and advice from my time spent with them thus far. I would recommend any individual looking to further their careers to reach out to Sterling, Cooper, and Coon in an effort to learn more about themselves first, and then make a decision to utilize them for additional services.

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.
