Story:
|
After a traditional, successful career in large Corporations, achieving the title of CIO, I ventured into entrepreneurship with the creation of three companies that operated simultaneously: consulting and selling products and services to advertising agencies, consulting and selling products and services to retailers, and professional image consulting. The recession of 2000, the dot com bust, and 9-11 created too much turmoil. We closed the technology businesses in 2002 and moved to our native land of California after 30 years in the wilderness of the Mid-West. Consulting and employment led eventually to learn about the horrendous world of unemployment for older workers.

Job Referral 411 introduces a new paradigm in the process of
hiring high quality, experienced workers. A low finder's fee is paid when referred candidates are hired. The process relies on trusted third party referrals and a candidate introduction process that by-passes the electronic black hole of resume submission and the cursory, HR review of resumes that avoids experienced workers.
Our goal is to get the right people into the right job for the benefit of the employer and employee.

Difference:

By focusing on experienced, unemployed workers, we are reducing the pain these workers have of long term unemployment due to age age/seniority discrimination.

It must be since I've been at it for 25 years although I didn't plan to be an entrepreneur.

Over $15B is spent on recruiting through job postings. Our
service reduces the cost. Electronic recruiting and other
factors have introduced poor hiring practices which result in
hiring the wrong person into a job. Our service provides a
high degree of assurance that the person referred is highly
qualified for the job.
