Joel Payne Associates - An Introduction

In today's business environment, attracting, hiring, and retaining top talent has become more time consuming, more challenging, and more costly than ever before. While classified ads and Company web sites may produce a number of resumes, candidates generated by such traditional methods are already looking for a job, and as such, are very likely not the very best candidates for your Company. In almost 90% of all cases those candidates who we will present as the most viable candidate, for your particular opportunity, are not even looking for a job, and will not initiate a dialogue with a prospective new employer. This candidate, the one who is both happy in his present position and who is already performing at an optimal level is the ideal candidate. Ironically, he or she is the very candidate you know nothing about. He is unaware of your opportunity because he or she isn't looking, and you aren't aware of him or her, because they are not actively seeking another opportunity.

That's precisely where we at Joel Payne Associates (JPA) come in. We are specialists at
putting top caliber candidates who aren't looking together with top employers who are looking.

JPA is in the business of discovering top talent that otherwise would not be available to you. We follow an intensive, carefully orchestrated and targeted recruiting program according to the needs of the three key industries we serve - Legal, Construction, and Accounting/Finance. We work closely with our Clients to define the exact skills, experience and credentials required of the successful candidate, and conduct a proactive, systematic executive search. Once qualified candidates are identified, we pre-screen each candidate to ensure that the candidate's own career goals, family and environmental situation, professional references, and personal needs mesh as closely as possible to the Client's own Corporate culture, as well as the specific requirements of the particular executive search assignment. Further, we stay intimately involved throughout the entire process, from initial review of the candidate's CV, to phone interview, to on-site interviews, to the reference check process, to the offer and acceptance of an offer, and through and after the candidate begins his or her new career.

In short, we measure our success in the total mutual satisfaction felt by both the Client and the candidate upon the start of employment. At JPA, we realize that our long-term success is intimately related to the long-term successes of the matches we engineer between Client Company and candidate, and we do whatever possible to maximize the customer satisfaction of both parties.

Five words personify the hallmark of our Mission at Joel Payne Associates - a firm defined and identified by Honesty, Trust, Partnership, and Teamwork, with quality recruitment services provided in an environment characterized by the highest moral and ethical standards. Our Mission can be further expanded to include supporting our employer Clients' own Mission of attracting, hiring, and retaining top talent.
