David came to RL Stevens for help in moving to a new career. Although highly successful and well paid, he was blocked from further promotion. He wanted to move into an area that was less stressful and would afford him greater opportunity. In addition, he wanted to be in his new position before fall so his children would not have to change schools in the middle of the session. This meant a executing a rather high-energy search strategy while he continued to work. This gave the RL Stevens consulting staff a challenge.

His primary consultant and his consulting team put together a very aggressive strategy that included a widespread target list of organizations in a growth mode at the time. A marketing strategy was developed that included a contact development component very different from anything David had done before.

In less than 10 weeks, David had generated enough activity to put him in a hiring situation. Several organizations were interested in him, but two in particular stepped forward and put offers on the table. David negotiated back and forth between the two companies with help from his consultant. In the ...
... end, he selected one that promised major opportunities for growth and a 23% pay increase by virtue of the lower cost of living in the new area. David calculated that he would double his pay within a year in addition to having many other advantages open to him.

Ron was caught "between a rock and a hard place". He badly wanted to make a job change, but worked in a company that, within a year, would dissolve. In the meantime, he was working 60+ hours per week and had a jam-packed private life as well, which he did not want to relinquish. He knew that he needed to conduct a search-which he hadn't done in nearly two decades-but had no idea how he was going to do it with his heavy schedule.

His consultant worked closely with Ron in putting together a very comprehensive, but relatively slow-paced marketing action plan. Time was not deemed an issue, but time management was. Ron had to use what free time he had wisely. In addition, because Ron had to conduct a very discreet campaign to protect his present job, his consultant connected Ron with a network organization that provided excellent opportunities.

Ron was able to secure an offer that genuinely appealed to him. Getting into a "right" culture was another key criterion for Ron and, supported by his consultant, he did a thorough background check on the organization to determine if it would be the right "fit." It was! "It's a pure joy to go to work every day and wonderful to know that my future is secure again," says Ron.
