| Consider this You are a highly prized employee at ABC, Inc. You're happy in your current position. Like most, you will not be actively reading the job boards or classifieds for any situation. It is highly unlikely you'll attend a job fair any time soon. Study after study has consistently and overwhelmingly revealed these facts. Moreover, even if you did decide to test the market, carpet-bombing Internet job sites with your resume or sending your credentials to a blind mail box could be an unwise career decision. These maneuvers are high risk. Simply ask yourself, "would I want to create employer problems by telling the world I am checking out the competition ?" " Do I want to set myself up to possibly fall victim to identity theft or possibly worse ?" If you are not aware of these real and potentially harmful risks to your privacy, and maybe your career, you must visit our Perils of High Tech page. 
Job Fairs  These are labor intensive and costly to a company. On the (employed) candidate side, they risk being noticed by their HR department or being confronted by their supervisor if caught. Is this something you would do ?
"The Fairs" are largely a haven for the inexperienced, unemployed, the job hoppers and disgruntled employees unconcerned as to who may see them in attendance. Is this the "talent" you want to place in hard-to-fill positions ?
The Recruiting Realities
First and foremost, Real Time NetWork understands the love/hate relationship some companies may have with outside recruiters. In short, organizations love the service, results and guarantees, but hate the fees. The second reality is that many companies, whether they engage the services of a Recruiter or not, find it almost impossible to avoid them. One way or the other. You can bet your competition is using one or more outside recruiters. These hired gunslingers are a major weapon in (their) Talent War to win over your key people ! The final reality is the fact that Real Time NetWork engages the battle daily in behalf of our clients. In the behalf of our clients, we are in surreptitious contact with the passive candidate who is a prized employee. It's a fact... Many of the most noteworthy companies in this country, you would know them by name, partner with outside recruiters. Chances are some of the most successful people in your organization have advanced their careers with the help of a Recruiter.
The Talent War is far from over If you are short staffed in key positions, you need every tool, ethical tactic, method and talent scout on your side. Who is going to win, you or your competitor ? If you are already working with outside recruiters that is great; but if shortages still exist, abandon the "we have preferred vendors" mindset. That may be convenient, but it does not benefit your organizations war for talent. Real Time NetWork will more than supplement your recruiting war plan. We'll put "A" Players in front of you. People you will want to hire. Our circle of influence is not merely local or regional. Our network of over 650 independent affiliate offices spans coast to coast and into Canada. We are selective... Real Time NetWork cannot work with every company. That would be inconsistent with our high standards and methods of recruiting; we can only work with a limited number of organizations in a given geographical area. Furthermore we do not recruit away from our valued clients. Real Time NetWork is fastidious about the candidates we agree to represent. Our candidate referral process is thorough and demanding. Moreover, the individual must be first rate, fully qualified, a corporate fit and not employed with one of our clients.
