To guide professionals involved in the processes at E&G Partners and provide insight into the reliable operation of these processes.
Viewing our research, the relationships we build with professionals and clients, and the value we create as merely ‘filling a position’ would overlook the depth and significance of our work.
The executive-level positions we post on LinkedIn naturally attract interest from many valuable senior executives. Occasionally, using tags in announcements or my visibility when E&G Partners is searched results in direct messages to me. My inbox fills quickly, causing delays in providing the quality responses I aim for. Therefore, I decided to share frequently asked questions and helpful information in this post.
Using a standardized reply on social media could speed up my response time. However, that’s not my approach to work. I review each profile that sends a message, regardless of where it’s from—some in more detail. Understanding the career paths and experiences of senior executives with 15-20+ years of experience takes time. Afterward, I respond to each executive individually (some professionals who have received my replies will understand what I mean). Time is valuable for all of us, so naturally, I prioritize specific conversations. With the support of my team, I organize introductory meetings in alignment with my work plan. This schedule doesn’t solely depend on my work plan; it also considers the availability of the professional I want to meet and the location/region where we’ll conduct the meeting. In short, we aim for mutual availability.
After an introduction, another skill comes into play: Relationship Management, or as it’s commonly known, Networking.
Generally, the messages I receive fall into one of the following categories:
I value all the messages I receive, and since my responses can be delayed, I’d like to share the following information in advance.
If you are reaching out about one of the topics above, the following recommendations and additional information may be helpful.
At E&G Partners, we place great importance on crafting our announcement texts. When you review them, you’ll notice no unnecessary details and fully understand what we’re looking for. Data shows that most of this process is spent reviewing and filtering out applications that do not match the position. To use our time efficiently, we invest in technologies to streamline these processes. Please review the job announcement and follow the guidelines for a smooth application process. Submitting your application through our applicant tracking system ensures it is securely processed.
After completing your application, a confirmation email is sent to the email address you provided, confirming that we have received it. Since this email may be in your spam folder, please check this confirmation to ensure your application has reached us.
Suppose this is your first application through our system. In that case, a message requesting GDPR consent will be sent to the email address you provided right after your application. Please use the link in this email to view the GDPR text on the linked page and ensure you consent at the bottom. Suppose you have previously applied through our system but did not provide GDPR consent. In that case, our team will ask you to give this consent before any potential meetings. E&G Partners does not conduct meetings with candidates who have not granted GDPR consent.
As mentioned above, we at E&G Partners take great care in preparing our announcement texts. Occasionally, specific criteria may not be clearly stated in the announcement but could influence your decision to apply. For faster responses, you may contact us using the messaging feature on the E&G Partners LinkedIn Page.
I want all senior executives who reach out independently of a specific application to know that I review, evaluate, and take notes on their profiles for future reference. Don’t think, “They haven’t even looked at my profile”—I don’t intend to reveal all my professional secrets As my schedule allows, I organize introductory meetings with professionals in this group. For understandable reasons, I can’t immediately contact everyone or conduct introductory meetings. Still, your profile is noted for future consideration for suitable positions.
You can access all the positions we handle at https://eg.partners via the “Openings” link or visit E&G Partners’ LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/egpartners. Following our announcements will help you stay connected with us.
At E&G Partners, the process begins with conducting a profile study tailored to our client’s needs. This study helps clarify the experience required for the position and our client’s priorities. Specific criteria may be critical for the position but cannot be clearly stated in the announcement. Afterward, our research team, led by project managers, starts identifying senior executives who perfectly match the defined profile and evaluating applications if the process involves an announcement. The entire process is managed electronically.
Project managers prioritize executives who closely match the profile and structure introductory meetings with them. Occasionally, prioritization is coordinated with the client.
Over the years, we have focused on this process the most to identify senior executives who perfectly match the position and avoid wasting time in meetings. The MUSE (Mutual Suitability Evaluation Process) software we use at E&G Partners was developed solely for this purpose.
Applications that do not fully match the profile are retained in the system for potential future opportunities.
I would like to emphasize once again to all professionals that the candidate evaluation processes at E&G Partners are meticulously managed. Every message and application we receive is carefully reviewed. If it aligns with current or future opportunities, it is duly evaluated.
I can’t respond to LinkedIn messages with the quality I’d like.
For this reason, I shared all the information I consider essential in this article.
