The company searches out the best candidates for clients, experts considered the best by their peers, not just the best available. Andrew Associates speak with people who know excellent prospects (who are likely not looking for a new job), and convince those qualified prospects to consider moving to our client's position.
Projects will be useful to the firm's decision to: increase the capacity to do recruiting, add one or two extra services to current capabilities, improve communications with clients and job seekers.
Although the intern positions are unpaid, they will enable students to get a sobering perspective of job market realities, get an advantage over other students in getting in front of hiring managers, manage the interview process from the student's perspectives, and manage relations with recruiters in the mid and later stages of their career.
