Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Resume Distribution Work?

First, we develop a Recruiter Letter that accompanies your Resume during send-off. This letter is intended to communicate your objectives and the context of your situation to capture interest from recruiters. Developing your Recruiter Letter includes unlimited revisions to ensure your full satisfaction with the letter prior to sendoff.

Next, we tap into a database of 42,000+ contacts at staffing and search firms across the country and narrow the field based on your industry and/or functional expertise.

Finally, your Resume and Recruiter Letter are emailed to third-party recruiters at staffing and search firms across the United States. After sendoff you receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with a list of all recipients and their contact information.

Why is Resume Distribution Beneficial?

The reality is many jobs are never published online. Instead, these roles are filled through headhunting and/or word-of-mouth referrals.

Some refer to this phenomenon as the hidden job market.

Resume Distribution taps you into the power of human connection by delivering your Resume into the inboxes of recruiters at staffing and search firms. It’s a simple and convenient way of trying your luck at connecting with individual recruiters.

How Many Recruiters Will Receive My Resume?

Most distributions are in the range of 1,000 to 6,000 recipients. It depends on a few different factors, including your occupation and industry specializations.

If your goal is to reach as many recruiters as possible, just let us know, we’ll run multiple queries to find the largest number of recipients possible.

If your goal is to take a smaller and more targeted approach, just let us know, we’ll selectively identify the best recipients that align with your background.

What Kind of Response May I Expect?

Responses vary depending on many factors including your background, qualifications, timing, and luck. Interested recruiters typically reach out via phone or email to connect.

In some cases it results in immediate interviews for specific assignments. In other cases, it lays the groundwork for getting noticed by recruiters for future opportunities.

May I Use My Current Resume?

Yes. If you have an existing Resume that doesn’t require edits, we’re happy to use that.

You are not required to work with us on your Resume in order to use this service.

If you’re on the fence about getting help, consider the budget-friendly Resume Refresh (starting at $195) to give your Resume a visual makeover.

How Does Geographic Location Work?

Resume Distribution is a nationwide sendoff because recruiters often work in multiple markets. For instance, a recruiter in Omaha might have openings to fill in Chicago.

Therefore, the recruiter’s location is not representative of where they have vacancies.

The important thing about your geographic preferences is to make them clear in your Recruiter Letter. That way recipients understand your geographic parameters.

How Do I Know Who Sees My Resume?

Shortly after sendoff, you’ll receive an Excel spreadsheet listing all recipients and their contact details.

The spreadsheet includes each recipient’s job title, their firm, phone number, email address, and geographic location.

What Are Staffing and Search Firms?

Firms like Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Christian & Timbers basically serve as an intermediary between employers and job seekers. These firms help companies find qualified employees to fill a variety of different roles.

Your documents get emailed to individual recruiters that work at these agencies.

What Are Private Equity and Venture Capital Firms?

For those targeting the startup ecosystem, we offer distribution to venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms (substitute for recruiters).

We send your Resume to VC & PE firms like 5 AM Ventures, CVC Capital Partners, and Lexington Partners. These firms are on the cutting edge within the startup ecosystem in providing capital to startups and rapidly growing small businesses.

The VC & PE option is best for C-Suite leaders as well as entrepreneurial-minded professionals that are specifically targeting opportunities in the startup ecosystem; such as running a portfolio company or joining a company’s board.
