I’m interested in getting
more information on a search that JWA is currently conducting.
Where do I go?
Each search has a detailed "position profile" that is available
by e-mailing us at admin@jwasearch.com.
We also encourage candidates to visit our client’s
web site, where the position profile is usually posted.
JWA does not post the client position profiles on its own
web site.
How does JWA develop a potential
candidate list?
We begin by establishing a close working relationship with
the client organization and, specifically, with the individuals
within the organization who will be making the hiring decision.
Frequently, there is a search or selection committee involved.
These discussions give us a solid understanding of a client’s
needs. Next, we draft a detailed position profile that clearly
outlines the candidate requirements.
Our actual "search" begins with a search of the JWA database,
in-depth discussions with our extensive network of sector
contacts, proactive telephone interviews, and a review of
specialized directories and reference materials, both hard
copy and electronic. We frequently advertise positions in
relevant national or international media to widen the scope
of interest.
What are some of the criteria
that JWA looks for in evaluating candidates?
While each search is unique, there are some common qualities
that JWA uses in assessing candidates:
• Educational and/or
professional credentials
• Administrative and management
abilities
• Leadership qualities
• Communications skills
• Personal qualities and
style
• Potential "fit"with
our client’s organization
Where do I submit my résumé?
Please submit your résumé to:
Janet Wright & Associates Inc.
174 Bedford Road
Toronto, Ontario
M5R 2K9
tel. (416) 923-3008
fax: (416) 923-8311
e-mail: admin@jwasearch.com
If I send you my résumé,
can I expect a response and will you keep my résumé
on file?
Because we receive so many résumés every
week, we cannot acknowledge them all or keep all of them
on file. If, in our view, a candidate’s résumé
may be suitable for an existing or future JWA search assignment,
we will send a written acknowledgement of its receipt. We
will not present a candidate’s résumé
to a client without that candidate’s consent.
