For Employers

Hiring is on everyone’s top ten list of least favorite activities because regardless of the economy and the state of the job market, finding good people is difficult. It’s time-consuming, frustrating, and making the wrong hiring decision is expensive and disruptive.  

We provide search services that match your budget but yet mirror those of a more expensive retained search firm.  There are no sales quotas here - just the desire to help our clients find good people that meet their needs.  Our fees are reasonable and we offer longer guarantees than most of our competition.  Ask about our fixed fee search option.

It's time to think about attraction and retention in a post Baby Boom environment.

With 70 million baby boomers starting to exit the workplace over the next few years and being replaced with significant fewer eligible workers, the war for talent will only intensify as we go into a 25-year labor shortage.  Every job cannot be offshored to China or India.

At Marketing With Distinction, LLC we don’t have any magical solutions but we do subscribe to good business practices and a disciplined hiring approach. We recommend companies:

	Focus on succession planning. Identify the key positions in your company and determine who could fill those shoes and what training they might need.
	Develop an employee retention program. Know why people like (or don’t like) working for you. Regularly survey your employees and conduct exit interviews.  Hire an outsider to conduct an objective analysis of how working at your company compares to other firms in your sector or geographic location from a cultural, compensation and career tracking perspective.
	Seek out new employees from multiple sources…referrals, job fairs, colleges, high schools, your own Web site, dedicated job sites and specialized recruiters that are experts in the particular field or industry.  Make sure you are always looking for top talent not just when you have an opening.
