Even very good candidates sometimes fail at resume writing, particularly when in a hurry. An experienced search consultant will have the knowledge of a wide variety of industries and be able to spot the small details that can mean the difference between passing over a resume and giving it extra attention. Because of its remote location, we were having difficulty filling a COO position in a narrowly focused, hi-tech industry sector. The resume in question, at first and even second glance, lacked the details of specific experience that we were looking for, except there was one company name - a somewhat obscure European company in the aerospace industry - that signalled experience we were looking for. We pursued this candidate and he was selected. A year later he is a star performer in this multi-division U.S. corporation - and he and his family are enjoying the location!
