Worth every penny

After an unexpected layoff I felt pretty overwhelmed by job search process (something I had not been a part of in over a decade). Find My Profession was worth every penny. My reverse recruiter was incredible. She really got to know me personally and sorted through the noise to find and apply to tons of jobs based on what I was looking for and even some that she thought would peak my interest. She also expanded my network so now tons of professionals in my industry can find me in the future. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the process with her, but after only a very short time I now have a new job I'm starting with a great title and salary! I could not recommend FMP enough and THANK YOU [Reverse Recruiter]! Looking forward to catching up with you after I start my new job 🙂

5/5 Stars

Highly recommend – if I could give over 5 stars, I would. [Reverse Recruiter] was incredible to work with – she made it a priority to find me opportunities that fit my career goals. I never felt the relationship was transactional at all — she personally was interested in my success and it showed through her demeanor and dedication. The networking effort she drove was the key differentiator I needed to land my new job and was not something I could have done myself. Not to mention how priceless it all is for my future career. [Reverse Recruiter] always made herself available to coach me through any career-related issue, helped me prep for and ace interviews and provided guidance on negotiations. This service is worth every penny — it’s one of the best investments I’ve made for my career. If you’re even remotely considering it, give it a shot. The return on investment is high!

Looking for a job?

I think one of the best decisions that I made in my recent job search journey was to use a reverse recruiter. For those that don’t know, a reverse recruiter proactively finds you a job vs. a traditional recruiter who finds a specific job for a specific company. If you need this kind of help, I highly recommend Find My Profession especially if you are navigating the “new ways” of finding a job in today’s marketplace. For me, the results speak for themselves… indeed, a new job! A quick shout-out to [Reverse Recruiters] who made the magic happen. I could not have done it without y’all.

I really loved how…

I really loved how this worked – FindMyProfession took the heavy lifting out of my search for my next role. My Reverse Recruiter was professional, experienced, knowledgeable and also warm, supportive and an absolute joy to work with! Many thanks! My onboarding specialist, was superb, making everything really easy and also staying sharp on the details. Both – you were what I needed at the moment I needed it and I appreciate you greatly! I have to admit I was challenged with letting go of control, but [Reverse Recruiter] was so quick to build that trust that I was over that in a day or two. Many thanks team!

Outstanding Experience

My experience with Find My Profession was outstanding. [Reverse Recruiter] was a pleasure to work with – professional, knowledgeable, flexible and hardworking. [Reverse Recruiter] was invested in my success and was willing to work with me to advance my career goals. I did not know what to expect from a reverse recruiting process especially after being out of the work world for a while. From reviewing and revising my resume, finding job opportunities to apply to and getting me ready for interviews, [Reverse Recruiter] was amazing to have as a guide.

Great service for busy…

I am so pleased with my experience with [Reverse Recruiter] at FMP. I was looking to change industries, but too busy and overwhelmed with my day-to-day to embark on the journey on my own. No only did he do the heavy lifting with applications, but was a readily available resource in coaching to ensure I nailed interviews and marketed myself in the best way possible. He was helped to give me realistic expectations without short-changing myself or my skills to get the job I wanted. Thanks to him, I was able to secure a great role at my dream company within 6 weeks!

My reverse recruiter

My reverse recruiter was fantastic. She understood what I was looking for and set a plan in motion to achieve my desired results. As a result of her efforts, I am in negotiations with a firm for an executive position that I believe fits my experience and next steps in my executive journey. I highly recommend [Reverse Recruiter] as her networking skills are exceptional. Thank You.

I wholeheartedly recommend

I wholeheartedly recommend Find My Profession! The entire team was exceptionally professional and a pleasure to work with. My Reverse Recruiter helped me secure my dream job in under a month. Without her perseverance and strategic thinking, I wouldn’t have been able to land an interview!

How Do Winnipeg Staffing Agencies Work?

Staffing, or employment, agencies fill open positions for the employers they contract with. The agency is paid by the hiring company, so it’s a free service for the job seeker.

Staffing agencies can hire for temporary, temp-to-hire, and permanent positions.

Here’s what we recommend when working with a staffing agency:

  1. Browse the website to see if you find any jobs you are interested in.
  2. Whether you find an ideal job or not, contact the staffing agency.
  3. Provide information about yourself and the type of work you are looking for.
  4. If you found a relevant job on their website, mention it.
  5. The agency will take down your information and reach out if they find a relevant position.

Make as many staffing agencies as possible aware of your search. It’s simply more eyes and ears out there helping with your job search.
