Seth:
Agency Owner Seeking a New Opportunity
Seth had been an agency owner in the Pittsburgh area for several years. While he had built a successful business, he felt it was time for a change. Seth wanted to leverage his skills as a manager and recruiter in a new role that offered better growth opportunities and work-life balance. Unsure of where to start, Seth turned to WayPoint Consulting Partners, a career placement firm specializing in the Financial Services Industry, for guidance.
The Challenge
Seth’s journey was not without its challenges. Despite his impressive track record as an agency owner, he found it difficult to identify opportunities that matched his aspirations. He needed a role that not only utilized his managerial and recruitment skills but also offered a better work-life balance, competitive compensation, and a supportive company culture. Navigating the job market alone seemed daunting, and Seth was unsure of how to position himself to potential employers.
Kari, understanding Seth’s unique situation, took a comprehensive approach to his job search. She started by conducting a thorough assessment of Seth's skills, experiences, and career goals. Kari recognized that Seth’s extensive background in management and recruitment made him a strong candidate for senior roles in the Financial Services sector. She also knew that finding the right cultural fit was crucial for Seth's long-term satisfaction.
The Solution
After several weeks of diligent searching and numerous discussions, Kari found a promising opportunity for Seth: an Agency Manager position with a prestigious financial services company known for its supportive culture and growth opportunities. This role perfectly matched Seth's experience and aspirations, offering him the chance to manage and recruit talent while contributing to the company’s objective of expansion.
Seth’s preparation paid off. He impressed the interviewers with his extensive experience and vision for the role. After several rounds of interviews, Seth received an offer for the Agency Manager position. The offer exceeded his expectations, both in terms of compensation and the career growth opportunities it presented. The company’s culture and values aligned perfectly with Seth’s own, making it an ideal fit.
"I couldn’t be happier with the outcome," Seth says. "The position is everything I hoped for and more. I’m excited about the future and grateful to Kari and WayPoint Consulting Partners for helping me find this amazing opportunity."
