Why Cecil Baker

Cecil Baker realizes the critical nature of their client’s needs and because of that they take a different approach to the recruiting process:

  • Cecil Baker is a true cold calling and networking search firm. This gives our clients access to a different candidate pool, one that is not found through job boards, internet postings, or resume databases.
  • We take the time to not only understand our clients needs, but what some of the intangibles are, their internal company culture and the type of individual they are looking for so that both parties can find the ideal match.
  • We have a history of a 5:4 submittal to interview ratio, meaning the candidates we scrub and present to our clients are on target for their needs. This also keeps them from wasting valuable time on subpar resumes.
  • Because we work with candidates who often times are not actively looking this gives our clients the opportunity to evaluate the individual for the right position. These are often the individuals who have a much more stable job history in comparison to the average candidate on the market. Our current average tenure for our candidates is 4.6 years.
  • 92% of delivered offers are accepted.
  • Cecil Baker prides itself on being able to identify the top 20% in the candidate market, meaning our clients have a higher acceptance rate and higher award fees.

Our goal at Cecil Baker is to partner with our clients and to become a trusted advisor. We do not attempt to be our clients only recruiting resource, but to be a key component in their plans for growth. Here is what some of Jeremiah’s clients and candidates have said about him in the past:

“Because of his existing relationship with the potential employer, Jeremiah provided a great deal of first hand information about the company and it’s people, reputation and values” – Jason, Systems Engineer QNA

“As a small business, our overhead budget is extremely limited. We do not carry a bench of employees and, therefore, require a quick response by Jeremiah in order to fill open positions. Rapid response is crucial to our success and Jeremiah always delivers.” -Chris, Director of Business Development Pinnacle CSI

“Jeremiah has provided us with access to a candidate pool that is substantially different from what we see with other search firms.” Karen, Director of HR McDonald Bradley

“Jeremiah has a great deal of patience and is willing take the time required to find the right opportunity rather than trying try to push you into an unsuitable position simply to make a “sale”.” – Charlene, Sr. Systems Engineer, Dynamic Research Corporation
