This executive had significant experience developing large communities and master-plans in the Southeastern U.S. His position was eliminated when his company was acquired by a large, public company. Although he came to us with a broad set of skills in the areas of home building, development, and construction, our thorough evaluation determined his skills were even broader.

How We Compare

We are often asked, “ Why not just use an outplacement firm?” The answer is easy. Outplacement firms cannot do what we do. They do not have the network of contacts, the expertise to advise you, and will not market you. Most important, outplacement does not represent you, they represent your former employer. With 20/20 Foresight Executive Marketing & Job Finding, you get a team of experts working for you. We provide expertise, marketing, speed and, in most cases, multiple job offers. What about conducting your own job search? This may have worked at the beginning of your career, but at the executive level, the process is more challenging, and the stakes are higher. You will be left on your own to prepare your resume, practice for interviews, and contact companies. Even if you have an impressive network, you will not uncover every opportunity. You may be an expert in your field, but you are not a job finding expert. With us, you don’t have to be. Here is how we compare on the key metrics you care about:
With 20/20 Foresight

We assign you a dedicated Senior Consultant & Researcher

Your dedicated team does the work for you -- uncovering job leads, targeting recruiters, and researching hiring managers. Using our industry contacts, we make calls on your behalf to market your skills and schedule interviews. You can track progress on the Executive Power Center, 20/20’s job-finding portal.

VS Outplacement

Depending on the level of service, you may receive an outplacement consultant. But they won’t be dedicated to your search, and they lack industry expertise. You won’t have a Researcher dedicated to your job search either

VS Doing it Yourself

Managing your own job search is a full-time job. You are on your own to write an ideal resume, research firms, prepare for interviews, and more. Most people do not have the time or expertise to do this correctly.
With 20/20 Foresight

Our experts provide career coaching, counseling & guidance

With 10+ years experience in your industry, your Senior Consultant truly understands your skills and experience. We take time to get to know you and what you want from your career.

VS Outplacement

Your outplacement consultant isn’t an expert in your industry—so they don’t understand your skills, experience or career. Any guidance you get isn’t specific or relevant.

VS Doing it Yourself

You can seek out career advice and articles, but most are written in general terms for the general market.

A 360-degree approach to your job search

Other providers might offer a la carte services like resume writing or career coaching. But 20/20 Foresight puts it all together in one proven process. We have the industry experts, technology platform, and extensive network to find your next job. We know—about 40% of our clients come to us after trying other job finding services. Our full-service platform includes the following services:

Coach, Guide & Counsel

You receive a dedicated career consultant – an expert in your field with extensive experience – plus a dedicated researcher. Whether you are in transition, seeking career advancement, or want to pivot to a new field, our career counseling will help you develop a strategy. This begins with an in-depth and structured evaluation process which includes one-on-one interviews, a review of your career history, skills questionnaire, personality profile and psychological assessment.

After evaluating this data, we develop an action plan. We have the experience to know where your skillsets will fit best and are able to outline career paths that you may not see on your own. Additionally, we perform extensive due diligence on your references to ensure they add to the positive picture you want to portray.

Resume & E-profile

We are experts in the art and science of resume writing. We know what hiring managers are looking for, so we know how to make your resume compelling. In many instances, we create multiple versions of your resume to help market you for different positions in different industries. Additionally, we develop a high impact e-profile to be sent digitally to targeted recruiters and firms.

Social Media Branding

In today’s digital world, a LinkedIn profile is a must-have. We create a polished social media presence which communicates your accomplishments and aligns with your career goals. A well written LinkedIn profile will give you credibility and will establish you as a trustworthy potential candidate. LinkedIn also offers you an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals in your field, connect with former colleagues and clients who could open the door to new opportunities.

Personalized Marketing Campaign

We craft your story and market your skills and experience to leading companies and organizations. Most clients have ten or more interviews with highly desirable firms within the first ninety days. How do we do this? We have the most extensive real estate, financial services, and professional services database of contacts in the business, curated over the course of 25+ years with the help of our inhouse team of researchers. We perform data mining and updates daily, so it is always current. Using this information, we contact 300-500 recruiters per week and 200-300 companies per week on your behalf.

Interview Coaching

No matter how experienced you are, interviewing is a stressful process. Our interview coaching helps take the fear out of interviews and prepares you for anything that might come your way. First, we ensure that you are well-versed in the organization so that you can align your skills with their needs. We arm you with background information on employers including key executives, financial data, organizational structure, and in-depth profiles of the person(s) with whom you will be interviewing. Second, we prepare you for potential questions and conduct mock sessions to get you comfortable. Third, we develop strategies to address potential liabilities in your job candidacy (e.g. gaps in your resume, terminations) .

Negotiation Strategy

One of the most challenging aspects of a job search can be negotiating the best offer. What is the average market compensation of similar positions? Is their offer reasonable? Should you compromise on a particular point? 20/20 Foresight has direct contact with actual candidates in identical roles. As a result, we have precise, real-time data on candidates’ base, bonus and long-term incentive compensation. There is no guessing involved. We use this information to help you negotiate the optimal compensation package.

Post Placement Ongoing Support

After you begin your new role, we continue to work with you to ensure a seamless onboarding and integration. In fact, we like to consider ourselves your career advisors for life. Whether a year later or ten years later, we are always available and happy to help guide you in small matters and large.
