    Searching for your dream executive career

    Dominating the
    Digital Job Search

    An effective job search strategy relies on understanding the digital platforms used by companies to hire executive positions.  It is important to create a digital presence targeted to the role you are seeking and ensure that it is aligned with what the hiring managers and recruiters are looking for in a strong candidate. This CAP will guide you in creating an effective and efficient job search plan with an attractive digital presence to maximize your opportunities.

    “The hidden job market allows employers to avoid the lengthy and expensive process of open online applications. Instead of posting a job opening, employers can choose alternatives such as hiring internally, using a recruiting firm or headhunters and relying on current employees.”
