There are a few ways you can submit yourself to a company. But the only way to get absolute attention and follow up is to submit your resume through a qualified EDA recruiter that has the relationship and tenaciousness to continually follow up. That is what we do; we continually monitor the progress and follow the process all the way through to hopefully hire. We help both the company and the candidate to come together on scheduled meetings, terms, position and so much more. In effect, we are the interface to make the transition smooth and easy. The interviewing process can be tenuous and arduous. We help and get answers so that the process never stops. We say and hear the things that sometimes are best heard and said to a buffer; We are that buffer.
Frequently candidates tell me “they know someone there”. My answer is always the same. I say, “that is a good thing, but do you want them involved in your negotiations, be it salary or position”. Will they fight your battle to make sure you get the attention you deserve”? And the answer is almost always “NO”. We, on the other hand will fight that battle for you!
