Subject: Referral -- Regional Sales Ex. Boston to Atlanta (70-80k base) =
Enterprise Solution Co.


=20

Currently, we are recruiting for a Regional Sales Executive for a =
growing, pre-IPO enterprise solutions company that sells programs and =
benefits to employees of Fortune 1000 and government agencies. The =
company has ~50 employees with only a couple of people on the marketing =
team right now. The company has already tripled revenues from last year =
and is on target to do $40M in 2004. The company is growing rapidly and =
needs someone with experience in a lean, distributed, team oriented, =
fast paced, start-up environment. The client must have someone already =
living on the east coast anywhere from Boston down to Atlanta. Client =
will NOT interview any candidates that do not already live in the area =
specified.=20

***** When you respond to this opportunity, please be sure that the =
subject line of your email states: "Regional Sales Ex Boston to Atlanta =
(70-80k base) Enterprise Solution Co" so that it can be processed =
correctly*****=20

If you are interested in this position, then please review the attached =
document. If you meet all of the absolute requirements, then please =
complete the form and email it back to me along with the resume that you =
would want me to send. I will begin benchmarking candidates in seven =
days, so please email me with your resume and completed questionnaire =
soon. (PLEASE NO PHONE CALLS AT THIS POINT. I PROMISE TO RESPOND TO =
EVERYONE WHO APPLIES FOR THIS POSITION.)=20

If you are one of the Top 10 candidates selected to be presented for the =
position, then I will give you the name of our client and ask for your =
permission to present you. When I present you, I will give our client =
your resume, contact info and completed questionnaire. I do not make any =
changes to your resume or answers when I present you. The client will =
review both documents before making any interview decisions.=20

In this market, our clients are setting VERY specific qualifications for =
their positions. They insist that we only present candidates that meet =
all of their absolute requirements. Many of our candidates tell us, "The =
best candidate for a job is not always the person that has done the =
exact same job before". However, companies that are making hiring =
decisions are asking us to find people who have done that exact job =
before. They CAN be very picky. We can only present up to 10 candidates =
for each position. Sometimes a candidate may qualify, but not make it =
into the Top 10 because there are other candidates that are more =
qualified. We wish that we were able to present more candidates to our =
clients who are a close match -- but our clients would discontinue their =
relationship with us if we did not follow their guidelines and =
requirements. If you think it is hard for people to find jobs in this =
market, imagine what it is like for recruiting agencies to find paying =
clients! We have to give the clients exactly what they want, or they =
won't hire us either. Our goal is to help companies grow and succeed in =
the future by finding them the talent that they are looking for today.=20

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW &/OR REVISE YOUR RESUME SO THAT YOUR =
RESUME CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE THAT IS =
REQUIRED FOR THE POSITION.=20

Feel free to forward this email to anyone you think might be a good =
match. I would really appreciate any referrals! Also, if you know any =
other executive recruiters who may be able to help us fill this =
position, please refer them to me. I would really appreciate the =
introduction. Thank you very much for all your time and interest.=20

Sincerely,=20

POSITION: Regional Sales Executive. This position is an individual =

ABOUT MATCHSTAR - OUR PROCESS:=20

1. If you or anyone you know might be a good match, then please EMAIL me =
soon. The best way to get the interview process started and moving =
forward is to reply to the email that lists the opportunity that is of =
interest to you. This enables us to quickly evaluate and facilitate the =
best candidate/client matches.=20

2. When you indicate that you are interested in being considered for any =
of our opportunities, we will send you a specific list of questions that =
we have developed with our client for that particular opportunity. In =
your answers to these questions, you can tell us why you are a good =
match and explain your experience that is relevant to each position. If =
you are a match for the position, then we will give you the name of our =
client and ask for your permission to present you.=20

3. When we present you to our client, we will give them your resume, =
your questionnaire, and your email address so they can contact you to =
set up an interview. I do not make any revisions to the questionnaire or =
resume that you provide to me. This process allows you to explain your =
skills and experience directly to our client. We have received GREAT =
feedback about this new process from our clients including the fact that =
they have been able to interview and hire more of our candidates in less =
time because of this new process!!!=20

4. Considering today's difficult market, I have had to spend the =
majority of my time developing new business-and it has really paid off! =
Plus, I have to travel often. So at this point in time, the best way to =
reach me is through email at connor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx=20

5. Feel free to forward this email to anyone, but please do NOT post it =
to it any job boards or websites. I am only accepting candidates if they =
can say who referred them to me. If you would like me to contact someone =
about an opportunity, then I can do that best through email. So, please =
send me their email address.=20

6. If you don't want to continue receiving emails about our new =
positions, then just let me know and I will take you off our list.=20

7. I know that that this process may not feel as "personalized" as the =
service we have given in the past. However given today's market, our =
goal right now is to maximize the number of opportunities to present to =
you and to present the most qualified candidates for interviews to our =
clients. So, I hope you understand why we have developed and implemented =
this new process. However, if this process does not work for you, then I =
understand.
