ABOUT THE EXETER CONSULTING GROUP


Open Jobs





THE EXETER CONSULTING GROUP (TECG) is an executive consulting and search organization focused on the financial services industry.

At TECG we believe executive consulting and search are neither an art nor a science although they reflect aspects of both. Our view is that consulting and search are strategic processes that have significant implications for a business unit and the entire organization. Mutual success depends upon the strength of the partnership between the client organization and TECG, and how effectively relationships and team participation develop. The ultimate goal is not the process itself but, the output of the process: successful candidates or applicable strategic methodologies that meet the expectations of the client.

This is how we have built extremely successful relationships with our clients over a combined 96 years of human resources and talent search experience.

Rule #1 For Getting That Job: You Got To Believe!

I had candidate who I thought was a great get turned down this week. That is frustrating for the client, candidate and myself. I really thought that he could do a great job and was ready to take a leap up to this firm and opportunity. And so did the client,,, initially. That was the problem. We thought he was ready, but he did not.

He did not say it outright to anyone. But, over time he showed us that he lacked the confidence he needed for this job. He looked ready and in many respects. But he knew he was not and it eventually showed.

If you want to move up; you got to believe in yourself. If you don't it will show in the interviews and subsequent screening. Or worse yet, 90 days into the opportunity we will all be sitting around scratching our heads wondering why we got it wrong.

Bottom line, only you know if you are ready. And if you are, you got to believe in yourself. If you don't believe, don't bother.
