Career Movers Programme
The Badger Career Movers Programme
Looking for a new job can be lonely, frightening, stressful, daunting or any one of a dozen other scary and depressing words including scary and depressing. If you are out of work for the first time the feeling can be even worse. Now, at last, help is at hand with the Badger Associates Career Movers Programme. As East Anglia’s premier senior and specialist recruitment company we have seen the good times and the not so good times. We have agonised with candidates and waited anxiously by the telephone for news of interview outcomes and commiserated with the unsuccessful ones even when we can see where they may be falling short. We have watched as outsiders have won the race for a role and while nailed-on certainties were pipped at the post. We have listened to candidates and employers in post interview situations and analysed their rationale.
For some time we have been thinking long and hard about how we could help people who find themselves looking for employment. What was important to us from a selfish point of view was that we should recover our costs and still retain the integrity within the recruitment team.
Now, we have finally decided to document all this research and the result is pretty eye-opening. Our observations have been compiled by interviewers, consultants, occupational psychologists and, of course, employers. Here is a genuine insight into what makes a perfect application from beginning to end. No guarantees of course, but if you follow the principals properly and don’t cut corners you will improve your chances immeasurably. The publication is called “Secrets of the Job Seekers’ Queue – How to sharpen your elbows”. It won’t take you long to read through but you will want to re-reference it at each stage of the recruitment process.
Having written the definitive guide to good applications we looked again at where else we could help and eventually devised what we are calling the “Career Movers Programme”. All members of this exclusive new programme will receive:
- The e-booklet that can change your life and your career. Read it and follow the instructions, heed the tips and accept the advice and you are moving up the queue already.
- A personalised listing on our website in the “Featured Career Movers” Section for up to six months. This gives a 10-12 line summary of your skill set online and available to potential employers 24/7. Many employers reference this section when they have a vacancy to see if anyone is immediately available without the need to advertise. Your listing puts you at the front of the queue for six months.
- A monthly newsletter quickly and concisely advising you about the current state of the recruitment market in East Anglia. What sectors are on the up. Who’s employing. What sectors are suffering. How salaries are moving. What are the latest prospects. You will continue to receive this for 12 months from date of joining or until you are gainfully employed.
- All suitable candidates are listed in the “Featured Career Movers” weekly publication which goes out weekly to over 1,600 senior executives and HR Professionals in the region. Members will receive a second listing in the publication two weeks after the first and another at 3,6 and 9 month intervals (but you’ll have a new role by then!)
- Option to purchase a psychometric profile of yourself at cost price. For just £49.99 you will receive a personalised profile based on your preference responses to forty-four sets of statements about yourself. This report will be invaluable to you in assessing your strengths and weaknesses and recognising them before a potential future employer does! It is also an impressive document to produce in support of your application.
- Access to a consultant to discuss your application methods and where you might be falling down.
So what doesn’t membership of the programme give you? Well, quite simply, it doesn’t guarantee you a job. It doesn’t give you any priority or undue influence over the recruitment side of the company other than the advantages that following the guidance in the e-booklet gives you or the increased exposure that your details will receive. Please don’t embarrass both parties by seeking priority treatment on the recruitment side of the business because you have joined the Career Movers Programme. It is very important to us to retain our independence and integrity in the recruitment team.

So what does all this cost? In truth it should cost a whole lot more than we are charging. On the one hand we want to be certain that we are not seen to be exploiting the current recruitment situation. At the same time we must be commercial. Traditionally candidates do not pay recruiters, like house buyers don’t pay Estate Agents. But candidates often need the extra advice and guidance that can only come at a cost. We have put a lot of work into this package and will need to continue to do so as it develops and expands. We all know that unless something has a worth it is perceived as worthless. So there needs to be a cost. We have decided to set this as low as possible at just £50.00 + vat for a full year’s membership. To make us fee better we have also decided that if anyone believes that our advice and guidance have indeed been worthless then we will offer a full 100% refund after a year. Now, we can’t be fairer than that!
