OUR SUCCESSFUL FORMULA IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, BUT HARD TO DUPLICATE.
OUR SUCCESSFUL FORMULA IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, BUT HARD TO DUPLICATE.
Let us introduce ourselves
Meta-Find was started 45 years ago by Michael Heineman, who had previously worked as a Metallurgical Engineer.
When we see the specifications for a position, we understand the language. When we see resumes, we can identify strengths and weaknesses on the technical level and the career path level.
THE HUMAN FACTOR
Our pride and our national reputation is based on placing the best engineers in the best positions for the best companies.
We do not accept searches outside our areas of expertise.
By doing this, we don’t waste your time and we maximize our efforts to complete searches in a timely manner.
Most of our clients rank in the Fortune 1000 of companies and our smaller client companies have reputations for stability and growth. After 45 years in the business, we know the danger signs of questionable companies. We don’t work with them.
The last thing we want to do is place a good engineer in a doubtful situation.
Some resumes turn out to be part fiction. When you know the right questions to ask you can see through smoke screens. And with our longstanding national network of contacts we pride ourselves on thorough reference checks.
By doing this, we don’t waste your time and we maximize our efforts to complete searches in a timely manner.
We average 40 research and recruiting calls a day and update our computer files daily. Our files contain nearly 9,500 resumes and another 14,000 employee profiles, in addition to over 3,000 employer officers, human resources directors, and department heads. Through phone calls, personal referrals, advertising and our mailing program we receive 20 to 30 new resumes every week.
This multi-sourcing and original research provides us and our clients with hundreds of superior candidates not on file with any other search firm.
Some search firms drop out of trade press advertising when the economy is slow. We maintain our advertising schedule to supplement our personal research.
The fact is, in tough times there are often highly qualified and experienced engineers available precisely because of a slow economy. On-going advertising combined with our other activities help us uncover many excellent candidates who haven’t considered a job change in years.
In many cases, Meta-Find has an exclusive on the availability of these exceptional engineers.
When an employer has to do a major reorganization or make sensitive replacements, premature disclosure can demoralize a department, disrupt productivity, and sometimes cause valued employees to leave.
For employees seeking a change, early disclosure can jeopardize your position.
We respect both sides. We are committed to discretion and built our reputation on it. We cultivate ongoing relationships with our blue chip employers and receive exceptional recommendations from satisfied engineers rather than just fill job searches.
Our calls and memorandum are short and focused.
We not only listen to what you say, but we hear what you are saying. If you compared us to a laboratory, after 45 years we would be analogous to a quality control lab rather than an experimental lab.
We treat placement as a science, and on average, searches are completed within 60 days.
