Al Smith "The Hired Guy" work experience

A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.

President-Founder Career Counselor

Current

Marietta, Georgia, Us

Al Smith has earned the reputation as "The HIRED Guy" by constantly researching hiring methods, understanding the tools recruiters (Talent Acquisition Managers) utilize to find qualified candidates then reverse engineer them so clients can get found. Al's "Words-to-Work" methodology moves clients to page-1 positioning when Talent Acquisition Managers conduct Boolean searches. Al consistently creates unique methods to differentiate clients from typical candidates, such as with his multi-use Value Proposition decks (Initial contact for informational interviews, keeping recruiters and hiring managers on the client's profile longer and as the most remarkable interview tool ever). Marketing Plans are recommended for post-networking contact. Al's designs resumes with specific purposes in mind: First, one to get through Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software to get more often into the recruiter's hands and, second, one that will impress the human eye. The Hiring Manager will focus on the material the clients want them to see. His Cover Letter template dramatically increases one's chances for getting through the "Black Hole" of online submissions.Al's interview training is second to none. Clients need to see both sides of the interview process which is why all members of his coaching groups attend and participate in the practice sessions of other clients and invited guests. And when the offer comes, clients get coaching on how to negotiate a sweetened overall package. In sports, amateurs practice until they get it right, professionals practice until they can't get it wrong. All clients go through extensive interview training with numerous small-group mock interviews.• “Words-to-Work” LinkedIn Page-1 Positioning• Value Proposition decks• Resumes that get through the “Black Hole” of online submissions AND impress human readers• Extensive interview training• Package negotiation (more than just salary)• Client differentiation • Personal Brand creation

Hired! Every Employment Method

Here's what one reader, a job Career Counselor (Career Coach), says about HIRED!:"As a practicing career coach, I am one who continuously buys job search books. I can say that this one is unique.I was initially eager to read this book since I first encountered one of the authors (Al) in a shared LinkedIn group. His ideas and citations initially intrigued me to investigate his book, but the Table of Contents' chapter titles piqued my interest to the point of making a purchase. I was very pleasantly surprised by the original and exceptionally comprehensive content. Ironically, I found out that I was the first person that purchased the book.HIRED! covers the entire subject of job searching from all angles. It has current and relevant information. It is written is a style which is easy to read. In fact, almost like a novel, I kept reading and reading because I did not easily find a point to stop.Many similar books talk about the traditional job search, but this one talks about the future and for what (and how) employers are actually looking for candidates (you!). It has a very realistic approach to contemporary job search and I ended up reading it cover to cover, page by page.Bottom line, I highly recommend this book by Al Smith and Jeff Sheehan to everybody who is in transition, contemplating a job change or seeks to enhance their professional positioning."

Executive Leadership Counselor & Career Counselor (Career Coach), Founder

Marietta, Georgia, Us

100% of clients are positioned LinkedIn Page 1 (guaranteed) when recruiters conduct Boolean searches for their title after going through my proprietary "Words-to-Work" keyword discovery methodology..."If you don't have the right words in the right quantity, you won't find work." Clients note dramatically increased profile views.I have a passion for helping people to find great positions months more quickly. I believe in adding non-traditional methods of contact (Marketing Brochures, Value Propositions, Marketing Plans, SEO, etc.) to all the traditional methods (resumes, cover letters, recruiters, etc) to clients' "Marketing campaign." If the "Rule of 3," ATS requirements, NLP, Marketing Brochures, SEO, Professional Branding, and Keyword Discovery read like a foreign language, not only will the chance of interview failure increase, but the chance of getting an interview is greatly diminished. The Hidden Job Market has many times the number of positions than the Posted Jobs Market. I position clients to get found! Let's take what "they" use to find people like you so they can find you.
