The Advantage is a career marketing firm providing executives and senior managers with a single source for job search planning and execution including resume and cover letter writing services, targeted resume distribution, career assessment, transition planning, and job search resources.

The Advantage has partnered with leaders in the careers community to offer our clients a suite of premier job search resources. We then add our unique expertise of how to effectively use these tools to create customized job search campaigns that get our clients’ information “out on the street,” in front of the right decision makers and maximize their efforts in finding the “right” opportunities.

Programs focus on the resources that are best suited to each individual’s personal and geographic objectives, not a “mass” approach that wastes time and produces little or no results. Highlights of our services include:

The Advantage uses the highest quality database resources from top industry leaders including Dun & Bradstreet, Info USA and Kennedy Publishing, and custom lists comprised from the “Top 100” published by Forbes, Inc., Business Week and Entrepreneur Magazines. Complementing our company resources are extensive databases of 10,000+ Executive Search Firms and Placement Agencies, and 3000+ Venture Capitalists, Investment Bankers and M&A Firms.

We offer online search and selection capability as well as full-service research and selection, which gives our clients the advantage of virtually hand selecting the organizations that are most valuable in meeting their personal and professional objectives.

The Advantage has developed partnerships with several targeted online publications including Exec-U-Net, Netshare, Bluesteps, Chief Monster, 6FigureJobs.com, HeadHunter.net and other industry or function-specific resources.

We can make our clients’ resumes available online to 8000+ Recruiters, Corporations and Venture Capitalists that are actively seeking senior management candidates. The distribution is by invitation only from the registered firm, or can be conducted through a Keyword search. There is no blind distribution.

DISTRIBUTION METHODS

EMAIL

We convert resumes and cover letters to an electronic format, select the appropriate audience and distribute the information using the Internet. A copy of the client’s resume is also available in a private website.

This approach is targeted specifically to Recruiters who like to receive documents from candidates electronically. In turn, they can 1) place the candidate in their database and 2) easily distribute to a prospective company. Since Recruiters typically do not get paid until they place a candidate, they use the Internet and email as the most expeditious means to communicate.

FAX

Clients can achieve “instant” distribution by contracting The Advantage to fax their resume and cover letter to all contacts that meet their industry, geography and salary parameters. The entire mailing is out within a matter of hours instead of days.

Like mailing addresses, virtually all target audiences will have a fax number. However, faxing is only beneficial if the organization receiving the information is small and a candidate addresses the documents to a key decision maker (e.g., Human Resources, President/CEO, Division Head).

PRINT MAIL

We will conduct the research and produce individualized letters and envelopes that are sent to the client for signature and mailing. This method is fast and efficient, allowing clients to focus their energy on networking and other more productive job search efforts.

Print mail is the most recommended method for targeting companies and the investment community. Our service would be equivalent to a “mass mail house,” however we allow our clients to hand select their audience and industry avoiding the need to send out thousands of letters.
