CANDIDATE FAQ:
What searches is The EMAC Group currently conducting?
Some of the searches we are conducting are detailed in the Our Searches section of our website.
How do I submit my resume?
If there is a specific search in the Our Searches section that is of interest to you, click on the name associated with the search to email your information directly to the recruiter handling that search. You may also submit your resume for inclusion in our confidential database.
How do I talk to a The EMAC Group recruiter about my qualifications?
We are frequently contacted by potential candidates. While we would like to speak with each one, time simply doesn’t permit it. Generally, we contact potential candidates by phone or email when we recognize their qualifications as compatible with a search assignment we are conducting. Unsolicited resumes, while desired and welcomed, are reviewed and placed in our confidential
database until an appropriate search assignment develops.
Will you submit my resume to clients without my knowledge?
No. We will always contact you to see if an opportunity is of interest to you and to assess with you whether or not that opportunity is a fit with your background and career interests.
Do you work for me or do you work for the hiring companies?
Ultimately, we work exclusively for the hiring company. However, our ability to service our clients depends upon our rapport with you. We believe in maintaining ongoing relationships with candidates. Our goal is to become a trusted advisor to you on career issues and to lead you to the right client for the right opportunity at the right time.
Will you present me for multiple opportunities at the same time?
No. If there are concurrent searches that could be a fit with your background and interests, we will gladly discuss them with you. However, we will only consider you as a candidate for one search at a time.
Should I submit my resume to your competitors?
It is in our best interest to say, “No.” However, we do recommend that you get in touch with other top-tier recruiters. Every retained firm has a unique portfolio of searches that they’re conducting, and one of those may be your Ideal Job. We hope to be the firm that places you in your next position.
If I get a new position or am promoted, should I let The EMAC Group know?
Yes. The EMAC Group wants to keep track of your whereabouts and achievements. Please send us your updated information.
What criteria do you look for when assessing candidates?
While each search is unique, these are some common topics that we explore with candidates:
- Leadership skills
- Experience
- Accomplishments
- Track record
- Professional credentials
- Academic achievements
- Initiative
- Interpersonal skills
- Potential fit with our
client

Will I have to pay a fee to find a job through The EMAC Group?
The EMAC Group is 100% employer fee paid.
Are you an employment agency?
No. It is important that you, our Candidate, understand that The EMAC Group does not function as a traditional employment agency, whereas, their services are performed specifically for the job seeker. Traditional employment agencies typically “help people find jobs”, marketing your specific skills to employers, and where the major job of an “Employment Counselor” is to “find you a job”. The typical candidate for an employment agency is someone that wants to change careers, be trained, or who has limited work backgrounds and/or educations. And, the placement fee is almost always paid by the job seeker, not the company.
A Search firm (such as The EMAC Group),
however, works strictly on an “employer fee paid basis”, representing employer assignment needs and requirements exclusively. Our function is to only recruit, interview and represent hand-picked, hard-to-find candidates, specifically on employer assignments that almost always require very specific, sometimes hard-to-find requirements and job skills. The majority of our candidates are currently employed, for the most part, satisfied in their current position, and are typically not actively looking for a new or better job.
Local employers (typically) do not have a great deal of problem in locating (on their own) qualified candidates with general or traditional backgrounds and experience, and unfortunately, will not pay Recruiters to locate people that are “looking for a new or better job.”
