Mark Newsom, is the author of this blog and the Co-founder and CEO of FiveChairs.
FiveChairs is an innovative and highly-successful Talent Sourcing and Talent Recruiting firm, based in Franklin, TN – just 15 minutes south of Nashville. Some call us executive recruiters, others affectionately call us headhunters. Whatever your favorite term, I believe you’ll agree that we’re extremely different from any you’ve ever run upon.
While our website is the best place to go for the full story, I’ll highlight a few things – just in case your curiosity might end here abruptly.
• Our placement fees are earned from employers – not you.
• We have several different ways to represent job candidates – from people who are aggressively looking for their next position to the person who is currently employed and confidentially looking for a better situation.
• Our specialty is based on a geographic market (e.g. the Nashville-area) – not an industry or vocational focus.
• Most of our placements are in the mid to senior level professional ranks, however, our placements range from $200,000+ Presidents to the $35,000+ Administrative Assistants who support them.
• Nearly 95% of candidates have a 4-year degree from an accredited college and at least three years of experience.
• All of the positions we fill are for permanent placements. We don’t do any temporary or contract placements.
• Our fees to employers are some of the lowest in the nation. And you can be sure that there are far more employers who are willing to pay our 9.9% fee – versus the 25-35% fees charged by full-fee recruiters.
• There is no contract or exclusivity required by FiveChairs. You’re welcome to use every recruiter on the planet.
