Did you know that according to surveys, as many as 85% of job openings are unadvertised? Employers can be too busy to advertise,  or find that it’s not cost effective for all the work that goes into posting jobs, dealing with incoming resumes, interviewing, and following up.

LIGHTSHIP RESEARCH has come up with a new approach they call “Reverse Search Philosophy”. They help you identify the specific people who have the power to hire you for the jobs you are interested in, then coach you on how to get your information to those people.

Can Lightship Research really help find people jobs? Read this testimonial:

I got laid off as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing of a new media company in the Bay area. I was recommended by a recruiter to call Lightship Research to help me with my job search, as I wanted to relocate to New York City. I was a little skeptical at first, as I had always used traditional recruiters in the past, but they were not producing any interviews and I needed a job quickly. I spoke with a reference that had used their services and decided to give them a try. Their strategist was very knowledgeable and came up with some good ideas. They really know how to get under the radar and find companies, that you would never have thought of and then find the direct hiring authority. I got four interviews and an offer in 30 days (yes in this economy), which I accepted. Lightship Research http://www.lightshipresearch.com you rock!
