CANDIDATES
The saying goes, “There are three kinds of people in this world…those that make things happen, those that watch things happen and those that say, “what the hell happened?”. With that in mind, we believe that the most talented and successful professionals are those who take an active approach at building and managing their careers. Effectively managing one’s career can be daunting. It requires a pragmatic and realistic analysis as to where you are, where you’re headed and what your options are. As search consultants we network with thousands of top professionals in the AEC market and thoroughly enjoy the relationships with those who place their career development as a top priority.
Therefore we encourage individuals at the Project Manager level and above to contact us about where you are with your career and how you can leverage your experience to achieve your next milestone. If we have connected with you in the past feel free to update us on any recent changes so that we can stay in touch.
Selecting a Search Consultant
The key to selecting the right search consultant is getting to one who is a specialist in your field. The longer the consultant has spent recruiting in your niche the better for you. At PH&A, we seek out and select those candidates who want to develop a collaborative, partnering approach to the process. Therefore, asking the question, “Are we right for each other?” is essential.
We are the right firm if…
• You are serious about improving your position and leveraging your experience.
• You are willing to have an open and candid conversation with us regarding your interests, qualifications, history, strengths and limitations.
• You are open minded about the market and understand that there are no perfect companies.
We are not the right firm if…
• You can not make a decision in a timely manner.
• You are just testing the waters.
• You have unrealistic expectations as to your worth in the market.
• You are open to considering a counter offer from your current employer.
