Second Round Interview


	Once a position IS available that matches your qualifications and career goals, your Deacon Professional Recruiter will contact you for a more in depth interview to discuss your goals as well as to brief you on the position. If you and your Deacon Professional Recruiter feel the opportunity would be a wise career move, the recruiter will schedule an interview and give you some helpful interview tips. Make sure to ask for a business card from your interviewer so that you may follow up that same day with a thank you card. Check out our resources page for help with writing a professional post-interview thank you note.

Debrief


	After the interview, you will need to contact your recruiter to discuss the results of the interview. Your recruiter will give feedback to the Client and help in coordinating future interviews if they are needed.

Offer


	When the match is right between Client and Candidate, an offer is made for you to accept…and it is all at no charge to the Candidate!

Something to think about…


	Your recruiter can be a very valuable contact throughout your career, not just during the job search. You know your doctor, your lawyer, and your hairdresser and they know about you! Your recruiter should be the same. Keep in touch with your recruiter, tell them about your promotions and job experiences, tell them about your friends and co-workers that are looking for new opportunities, and then when you are ready to make a career move, they will know your history. You become more than just a Candidate; you become a Most Valuable Candidate.

We stand behind our commitment to deliver the best process, best candidate, and best experience in order to save you time and money!


	There will be one single point of contact for you. All recruiting requests from you will be maintained by one dedicated person, providing efficiency, consistency and continuity. A team of recruiters and researchers will assist your contact in utilizing all available resources to find the talent for your positions.

Screen


	Prior to presentation to you, all candidates will be screened based on a one-on-one interview by a Deacon recruiter. To the best of our knowledge, all candidates presented to you will be qualified and competent. After meeting the Candidate, should you be interested in moving forward in the process, a professional recruiter will check all references and debrief you on the results.

Offer


	Your point of contact at Deacon Recruiting will serve as your consultant throughout the offer process. We will be in constant communication with both Client and Candidate to ensure that issues like salary, benefits, and start dates are all negotiated through a neutral party.
