Explains how to build good business relations between a job placement agency and the companies with which the agency works.
This paper provides a job placement agency with a road map for building good business relationships with companies that would be most promising as potential employers for the job seekers listed with the agency. The paper examines companies in three U.S. market sectors: finance, the food industry, and hi-tech. The candidates for employment, the business climate, and the companies that offer potential employment are each reviewed and analyzed by this paper.

“Many of the candidates served by this agency are a lot like a woman profiled by the Wall Street Journal last year. Morgan Hezlep, 31 at the time, graduated from St. Leo University, a small school with both a campus in Florida, and a well-regarded online degree program. While flying 200,000 miles in two years as a computer consultant, Hezlep earned a degree in computer information systems. Instead pf watching the in-flight movies, she “attended” class by downloading lectures by St. Leo’s faculty and completing homework assignments. While Hezlep wanted the degree so she could attend law school, in the usual fashion, many of our candidates earned their degree in similar non-traditional ways, but want traditional, but better, jobs. St. Leo’s is not a “correspondence” school, but a real university with a real football team, as the Wall Street Journal article points out. (Grimes, Feb. 20, 2003) That accords with the backgrounds of many of our candidates. While they may have gotten degrees at non-traditional life stages, perhaps after working for a few years and going to school at night, or in an accelerated 2-plus-year business administration course, very few earned their degrees in a completely correspondence-based college. This is useful information to have in presenting these candidates to the employers; some prefer candidates whose degrees are from “bricks and mortar” colleges, rather than online ones.”
