Sanford Rose Associates® - Minneapolis

What We Do
Sanford Rose Associates® -Minneapolis works on behalf of client companies to search for and recruit highly qualified professionals; all fees related to the search are client-paid. In every search we establish a solid working relationship with the client company. We develop a thorough understanding of the position specification, organizational structure and company culture, as well as, the client's expectations for the prospective employee. We then search for the best candidates, using our extensive network of referral sources and our central candidate database.
Our job at this point is to determine whether a person's qualifications, interests and objectives are consistent with the opportunity and to brief the prospective candidate on the position requirements. If we determine that there is a clear match of candidate interest and qualifications, we will discuss the candidate's credentials with the client and arrange for an interview.
Once a mutual interest is established between the client and candidate, we become facilitators. Your Sanford Rose Associates® -Minneapolis consultant will brief you thoroughly on the client company and the interview process. We will assist in negotiating all aspects of an employment offer and will help identify and resolve any problems that may arise. Sandord Rose Associates® -Minneapolis is not an employment agency, outplacement firm or advisor on career strategies. We counsel only on the opportunities associated with our active search assignments
Your Career
Most of the people we approach are not actively in the job market. Frequently, they are qualified professionals in satisfactory situations interested only in having exceptional career opportunities brought to their attention for consideration.
If you are going to leverage your career to its maximum, you will likely make several important job changes over the course of your working career. In order to do that effectively, you need to give careful thought to your professional goals and what you must do to achieve them.
You and your family, if appropriate, need to define your values with respect to your work and desired quality of life. If we are aware of your qualifications, goals and values, we can approach you with those opportunities that are consistent with your objectives.
In this era of corporate restructuring and downsizing, anyone can lose a good job with little notice. Therefore, it's a good idea to establish an early relationship with Sanford Rose Associates. If you should unexpectedly lose your job, you'll be ahead of the game by already knowing the types of opportunities that will be attractive to you.
How to Work with Us
Career development is a serious process. In exploring a career opportunity with your Sanford Rose Associates® Search Consultant, you should keep some important points in mind.
  • You should be honest with us - share not only your values and career aspirations, but also any obstacles that might affect your consideration for an opportunity.
  • Send requested material promptly.
  • If you have concerns, tell us in a timely manner so we can deal with them promptly.
  • Listen and respond to our counseling; we know the client and his/her needs.
  • Provide us with solid professional references who are familiar with your work.
  • Fulfill your commitments; a call to us right after an interview is an important part of the offer development process.
  • Give us a complete description of your work experience.
You may be assured that we will be sensitive to your personal needs for confidentiality as we address your questions and concerns. Our ongoing relationships with our clients often give us continued contact with the candidates we place; therefore, we want only to make good matches. Encouraging an inappropriate career move would be contrary to our philosophy and counter-productive to maintaining good client relationships.
We will ask for your time only when a genuine opportunity exists.
