Executive career management

Sites such as 6FigureJobs.com and theladders.com, and 6figurebootcamp.com are examples of career marketing firms specializing in the development of Executive profile Enhancement. Firms vary in their approach and service levels, ranging in anything from simple resume re-writing to full blown Marketing campaigns that help to target the decision makers directly at Fortune 500 companies. Some companies work directly with downsized corporations such as the recent distressed Ford Motor Company. To minimize the litigation from disgruntled Ex-employees, the corporation will hire ouplacement firms to help displaced employees develop a new job strategy. In such cases the process is paid by the corporation, therefore the corporation is the client of the Career Management Firm. Most Career Management Firms however, work with private individuals that pay the Marketing fees themselves to RESOLVE their Career Transition issues.

Career Marketing companies just like other Advertising and Marketing firms come in all shapes and sizes. From the Publicly traded corporations like Workstream/Allen and Associates to the small boutique Creative Shops like 6figureoffers.com.

In the last couple of years the industry has come under fire for unscrupulous business practices and predatory tactics by some long standing firms. Well known firms like , Bernard Haldane and Mckenzie Scott have Law Suits pending across the country. Bob Solis, a Career Marketing Specialist say's "For as long as I could remember, the un-employment sector has always represented a wonderful opportunity to connect with people when they are at their most receptive to the marketing messages of Continuing Education and Job Search Strategy, Unfortunately they are also at their most vulnerable. To the savvy marketer, it's alway's been a Cashcow."

Services at Career Management companies range anywhere from $1,000 - $30,000.

For many busy executives that do not have the time or resources to do a thorough Job search on their own, Career Management Companies still pose a valuable alternative to doing the legwork themselves. To them Time is more important than the money spent.
