PMG - Executive Search & Recruiting

As a financial professional, with a carefully cultivated network and a track record, I engaged Paul Mitchell Talent Management Group (PMTMG) to help me: 1) focus my job search; 2) sharpen my professional profile online; and 3) coordinate my job seeking activities. My goal was to ensure that mine was a coherent approach that would enable me to secure an appropriate position, given my experience and expertise. I am happy to report that Paul, Drew, Mandie and the entire team exceeded my expectations and helped me realize my goal. I therefore heartily recommend PMTMG to any executive-level professional, looking to reinvent themselves and step up to the next level!

I had a great experience with the Paul Mitchell Group. I initially connected with Drew Siler who helped assess my skills, aptitude, and attitude to see if we would be able to partner together to run an effective campaign to find my next role. He clearly explained the roles, responsibilities, expectations, and benefits of our partnership in a way that helped me decide to engage PMG's services. Once enrolled, I had the pleasure of working with Mandie Benavidez on my career transition. Mandie uses a highly effective combination of marketing, project management, networking, and coaching skills that enabled me to better hone my approach to the search for my next opportunity. She is consultative and encouraging and really digs in to understand the individual, his/her personality, and interests. She then pulls out the most important elements and helps one craft a coherent message that potential partners can understand. I also very much appreciate her thinking not only about the next opportunity, but also how that sets up future possibilities. I can truly say that her partnership through this process helped me land an opportunity that aligns well with my skills, interests, and growth potential. I highly recommend working with PMG and Mandie - they create value and you'll have friends for life!

I had a great experience working with PMG and my advisor Bob. He’s extremely knowledgeable in the area of resume writing and LinkedIn optimization. In addition, he’s up to speed on latest trends that drive successful searches. His role play interviewing is top notch. He gave me immediate feedback on my responses and helped me improve in that area tremendously.

While transitioning to a new career opportunity, I discovered the Paul MItchell Talent Management Group. Working with my adviser, Jason; I was able to prioritize my objectives and review my opportunities more critically. I secured an ideal position and am thriving. Thank you Jason and the Paul Mitchell Group!

I highly recommend this group, everyone I worked with was amazing. It IS ACTUALLY WORK - you do have to do things, this isn't "Hire them and they magically find you a job." I was going nowhere in my job search for 8 months. I submitted hundreds of applications online and had reached out to many companies. Even though I have 10 years at a fortune 500 company my job skills (apparently) did not line up well enough to get the courtesy of a call back. Pamela at PMG was awesome, she and the team made my resume better than it had ever been. I had previously (in the 8 months) paid two different companies to create my resume - there was no comparison to what they gave me, and what was created through the PMG. I then learned new ways to go about managing my job search - with the weekly check-ins and coaching I was kept appraised of job opportunities PMG had been presented with or had gained through their contacts. One such opportunity almost resulted in a job, but the company switched directions last minute and did not move forward with my position. This job would have been 100% the work of PMG, I had never applied or heard of the company prior to them. During the weekly check-ins I would go over the work I had done to try and find a job, while Pamela would coach me. Once I received feedback that I would have a job interview the team went into overdrive. They would research (or use the intelligence they already had), and I would go to a mock interview with them. In one such case (for the job I eventually got), Pamela asked me 4 questions during the mock interview based on what she thought they would ask (which was based on my history, the industry, and job description). During the interview I was asked 3 of the 4 questions almost exactly as she had asked them. During the mock interviews you respond to the questions in full as if you were in the actual interview. Once responded, Pamela would then dissect what I had said, refine it, and then allow me to respond again. It was awkward, it was painful, but it was a great preparation for the actual interview. I highly recommend this team and group - even though the costs are high, based on their advise during the negotiations of pay, I more than made up the difference of what I paid PMG versus what I would have accepted in the position. And another thing of note - I think I got hired 1 - 10 months sooner than I would have if I had not hired PMG... Well since they cost me 1 month pay, any way you slice it, using them is a win-win. You should not use them if you are not going to do the work necessary after they give you the tools and training. If you do use them and then don't do the work and then don't get a job, don't post about how they didn't magically put a job in your lap. This is not what they do.
