Director, DFBryant&Co. Executive Search
Kansas City, Missouri Area
DFBryant&Co is a specialized executive search firm based in suburban Kansas City. We work with clients nationally to recruit advertising agency professionals in media, account service, account planning, interactive, database management, PR, and creative. We also recruit client-side marketing professionals who work with agencies and/or internal clients in brand management, media, marketing communications, PR, and product marketing.
Since 1999 I have recruited advertising professionals for agencies across the country. I specialize in media, account service, account planning, interactive and creative within the retail and CPG sectors. Others within DFBryant&Co specialize in brand marketing, technology, telecommunications, product marketing, and agricultural marketing and communications. Call, email or visit us online at www.dfbryant.com anytime to visit with a recruiter who specializes in your category.
We advise candidates on marketing themselves as "Product You", how to plan their long-term career growth, and manage their expectations regarding salary, relocation and overall job satisfaction. We evaluate and coach resume writing techniques, presentation, and interview skills.
We educate clients on current hiring practices, interview techniques, and the concept of "Mutual Need Fulfillment"; How to use the recruiting process not only to hire the best people, but how to evaluate those potential employees in terms of their company culture, mission and goals, and how to solve the personal and career goals of those employees in order to maximize the best working relationship.
We do more than match resumes to jobs. We build relationships for growth.
