Companies are using ancient methodolgies to staff their businesses and workers are left to use these archaic, outmodedand faulty employment tools and practices to navigate the employment marketplace.  There should be little wonder that about 3/4 of the U.S. workforce are considering career changes or that about 50% strongly dislike their job and the methods needed to find one that is better suited to them.

 

We founded Upwardly Me to help change this by providing companies with a new employment program that eliminates the inefficiencies and provide sparkling results...

Our system is based on creating opportunities for engagement and interaction between company employees and people interested in their business.  Our pre-application communication tools are so effective that both get to actually "know" each other, leading to much more successful career and hiring decisions!

Key Elements:

          - Talent Neighborhods & Communities 

- Professional Brand Assessments

- Engagement Events

- Short List Creation and Cultivation

- Employee Shout Outs

- Guaranteed Hiring

Combined these system components provide a solution for career consumers that don't include job ads, resumes and screen outs.  Consider it the UN-recruiting method based on sharing ideas and engaging in enticing, fun and thought provoking interactions that lead to successful outcomes...the best hires you've ever made - we Guarantee it!

 

What CEO's Look for When Hiring?

 

“I don’t believe that any one-two hour interview can let me figure out, “Yeah, that person is going to be really successful.”   

                                             Lawrence W. Kellner, CEO, Continental Airlines

 

 “I ask...“Tell me what you’re passionate about.” That’s it. I’m looking to see if there’s anything inside...how involved could they be?”  

                                             Joseph J. Plumeri, CEO, Willis Group Holdings

 

"…more important, are they going to be good for the culture? Is this someone we would choose to have dinner or drinks with?”  

                                             Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos.com
