Extensive Business experience as an agency Executive Recruiter for the past 15+ years in the Energy, Construction, HVAC/MEP and Manufacturing industries.  Expert level knowledge negotiating with executive-level leadership, candidates, and decision makers.  
 
Like my friend used to say to me “all business is the same, some just have more zeroes attached to them.”  My process and knowledge allow me to work with clients in ANY INDUSTRY.

I have written Resumes, interview coached, negotiated offers with the usual suspects listed in  Fortune 500 and with those not .  From international common household name companies to a four-truck outfit fixing air conditioners from a suburb in Houston.
  
But first things first, let’s get the resume seen.

90+% of companies utilize ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to scan your Resume against the particular job you are applying for! Within these systems, companies will set their parameter at 80% to be considered “qualified”. 

Of the many Resumes I see on a daily basis, 99% during an initial scan score in the 40% range or lower! Submitting a Resume at this score will result in that dreaded “We have decided to pursue other candidates email” In my partnership with clients, we leverage these systems to our advantage to exceed the 80% target score! 

Resumes I see on a daily basis, 99% during an initial scan score in the 40% range or lower! Submitting a Resume at this score will result in that dreaded “We have decided to pursue other candidates email” 
In our partnership we will leverage these systems to our advantage to exceed the 80% target score. 

I am passionate about breaking down obstacles and overcoming challenges so we may achieve your professional and business goals with strategy and coaching.

        While looking for a job in college, Andrew was able to give me helpful tips for getting to the interview stage that eventually landed me several interviews. After attending several interviews, I was able to use the tips he gave me to land a job with my current company. I went through several semesters of not being able to land an interview and the tips he gave me got me over that hurdle. If you’re like me and struggled with landing a job while in college or even after you’ve had a few years experience, I highly recommend you reach out to Andrew for help.

        I was making a career a year and a half ago and Andrew proved to be a great asset throughout the transition. Andrew coached me through the process and allowed me to look at the bigger picture to help me achieve my goals. He helped me develop my resume and tailor it in a way that broadened my opportunities. 

Once I started interviewing Andrew helped me prepare so that I was warm going in. We strategized with questions & answers and went through a practice round which helped tremendously. This helped me do my homework on the roles I was interviewing for and also helped me find a right fit by having my thoughts prepared. This really set me up for successful interviews. 

Andrew has been a great mentor and is always happy to help when questions come up. I definitely recommend working with Andrew for your career developments goals.  Jeannine O'Deens
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I’ve known Andrew for 10 years and have been fortunate to have his counsel in my career, including my resume development and interview prep.  Every time I landed the job!  He has a distinctive and results driven style to his coaching.  He offers direct feedback, infused with an enthusiasm for maximizing results, a good dash of humor and genuine care.  With his long career in recruiting, he is attuned to the objectives of both employer and applicant and was able to highlight the authentic value I bring to the company.  Best of all his energy is contagious and he always leaves me with confidence that I’m putting my best foot forward.

        It had been a decade since I needed a resume to sell my career. The old resume had grown old, stale, and lacked the proper punch. Andrew did a wonderful job of bringing my old resume back to life. I received numerous opportunities that led to being able to select the best offer.

        I was introduced to Andrew over 5 years ago, while I was looking to make a career change. At the time I was struggling with my career. With Andrew’s coaching, assistance on my resume, and some perseverance, I was able to land a job in the commercial construction business. Andrew has seen it all throughout his career and is able to provide different ideas, and create a story that resonates with people. One of my favorite ideas Andrew provided me was listening to comedic podcasts before an interview, this allowed me to relax my thoughts and not get stressed out before an interview. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to work with Andrew, and now consider him a friend. Ed Cvelbar
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Andrew Alexander is unquestionably the most professional, resourceful career professional I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  I actually rejected a very lucrative offer that he worked hard to obtain for me in favor of a position (with another recruiter) that after several months did not work out.  Ever the consummate business professional, Andrew stepped right back in where he left off with no criticisms or I told you so’s and re-negotiated the original offer with even better terms!  Additionally, Andrew took the time to help career-coach my daughter who despite being in a field totally unrelated to Andrew’s specialty, benefitted enormously from his assistance and years of job coaching experience.  He worked with Jessie to craft her resume, prioritize her objectives, focus her job search, and prepare her for interviews.  Would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew for all aspects of career development, as well a just an all-around nice guy.  The world could use more people like him.

        I was a client of Andrew's in various leadership roles during my career.  Andrew was my "go to" resource for talent acquisition.  He is very adept at understanding his customers' needs as well as the culture of an organization and then finding the right candidates for the role.  Andrew's candidates were always well prepared for the interview.  They came with a professional resume and had been coached by Andrew so they could show the best version of themselves.  

Since being Andrew's client, we have become friends.  I continue to confer with him in my new role as a consultant and we collaborate often.  If you are preparing a resume, looking for career coaching, marketing yourself, or just need some good workout tips, Andrew is your man!

        Andrew is hands down the best recruiter that I've ever worked with.  He took time to get to know me and my goals/next steps for my career.  He introduced me to some amazing opportunities and then coached me through the interview process.  His long career in this field was very apparent as he gave me great advice on how to navigate my way through some very challenging interviews.  Andrew's knowledge, investment, and sincerity really paid off in helping to advance my career.

        Andrew is the guy you want running your people.  He's a smart recruiter, but an ingenius manager.  He comes off as brash, but he's got a heart for his people and his his business.
