Lander's success rate is astounding: more than 82%
of the candidates placed are still moving up within the companies where
Lander placed them five years ago.
Lander International understands the internal audit profession and its
related areas better then any other recruiting firm. President and Founder,
Richard Tuck, has passed the exam for certifying Information Systems
Auditors (the CISA), has taught the CISA review course, written numerous
articles, and traveled the nation speaking at over 350 conferences and
chapter meetings of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association
and the Institute of Internal Auditors.
The secret of success is matching people with appropriate corporate
cultures, making sure that the individual's personal goals are aligned
with the company's growth plans.
"Lander is a remarkable company that is attentive, reliable, personable, and
consistent. My experience with you as I was seeking out the "job of my dreams" was
one of ease, with the appropriate level of communication, and promising results. Lander
listened to me, my skills and my desires and provided me with the options that would
best suit me and the companies involved. I will continue to use Lander and their
priceless assistance in any future career endeavors."
"I started working with Lander in 2009 and was blown away by your professionalism,
expertise and enthusiasm. You were able to provide me with valuable insights as to the
company cultures and hiring patterns, as well as the current environment within the local
marketplace. When initially starting a job search across the country, I was not expecting
to find a recruiting firm that would have such a breadth of knowledge with Fortune 100
companies, and have such a proven track record with them. Lander is not only a successful
recruiting firm, but they provided personable and trustworthy career coaching. Your
constant enthusiasm, extensive interview/search preparation, and follow-up are
commendable. Without hesitation, I would recommend Lander to any colleague."
"I have now been in my new position for two weeks, and I just wanted to
throw out some initial impressions of my new position that I find really
attractive. No one on the team appears to be a self-centered egomaniac. Everyone
seems really cool and down-to-earth. Basically, I actually WANT to attend Happy
Hour with these folks. These folks actually have lives outside of work. When the
clock strikes 5 on M-Th or 4 on F, the laptops are CLOSED. I went an entire 3-day
weekend without a single e-mail! Not having to check e-mail every 2 hours on
a weekend? It's unbelievable and of course, my girlfriend wants to give YOU
the biggest hug and 'thank you' for not having to have a laptop on the nightstand
anymore. Thank you for placing me with a company that really appreciates what I
have to offer."
"Thanks again for all of your help! I really appreciate the time you have
spent coaching me through my job search. I had about 7-8 people helping me
in the beginning; and your firm was the only one that stayed with me
throughout. Going back to your analogy from yesterday pertaining to the
Warriors, it would have been easy for me to become complacent in approaching
my interviews, (and I was just about there), but under your leadership I was
able to maintain my focus and not underestimate the value each organization
brought to the table. I am looking forward to working with you for many years
to come as I continue to build my career in the auditing profession."
"I've recently had the pleasure of working with Caitlin McGaw and would like
to take the opportunity of complimenting her exemplary service and
knowledge of 'the business of' auditing. She truly adheres to Lander's
philosophy - providing candidates with the best career advice. It's no
wonder she was awarded Recruiter of the year."
"You scored the winning goal in sudden death overtime!!!!
"Thank you again for the great position you landed me. It is a perfect fit with my
background and skill sets. Plus I get to work in the greatest
city in the world, New York.
"Your services were above and beyond the call of duty and I am grateful to you.
Looking forward to seeing you in the Big Apple.
"God Bless you"
"From the beginning of my association with your company, I have been
consistently impressed with every member of your team with whom I've
dealt. I do not consider the Lander team just as recruiters, but rather,
I regard them as good friends, one of very few
sources on whom I can always count for honest and substantiated advice,
empathy when needed, and wise counsel in general. I have
referred several people to Lander for career assistance and everyone of
them has been pleased with the service they received."
"I just wanted to say a big Thank You! to everyone at Lander
International. All the hard work and dedication on your part has
really proven itself. I am so very happy to be back at work and am
even more heartened that I have a job at a terrific company working with
some very awesome people. I'm starting to feel stable with both work and home
and I have all of you to thank. You all worked so hard on my behalf and I truly
appreciate it. And you taught me a lot which means the world to me.
"I love my new job. I had told you that a healthy work-life balance
was important for me. You found me the perfect opportunity. Two weeks
ago my department was forced to take the afternoon off and go race
go-carts, play bumper boats and play laser tag. We're going to the
zoo in September. Yes, they expect us to enjoy our work, have fun,
play and play well with others. Just in the short time I've been here,
I can see the team building effect it is having. We're getting to
know one another, we're building trust and we're learning each other's
skills and abilities and how we can use that knowledge to enhance
our projects."
"I wanted to send you a note to let you
know what a positive experience I have had dealing with the people
at Lander International. As you may know, I have just been offered
two very good positions because of Lander, one in Delaware and the
other in Denver. I have accepted the position on the East Coast and
will be starting there as a Vice President - Information Security
next month."
"I have dealt with many recruiting firms
and Lander is, by far, the best. All of the people I have dealt with
at Lander have been exceptional. The Lander recruiter who handles
the Southern Region submitted me for the interview in Florida. He
provided assistance and encouragement that was second to none throughout
this process. He was instrumental in negotiating for a job offer that
was on par with the higher cost-of-living of the Northeast. He was
concerned that I made the right decision for me whether it was for
his job or the other. It was a difficult decision and I wish I could
have said yes to both job offers. When he learned that I was not accepting
his position, he did not make me feel like I had let him down. He
only congratulated me. He is an outstanding member of your staff."
"The Lander team worked really hard for me. When I received the actual
offer, I almost fell out of my chair. I never felt like anyone was pressuring
me in any way to accept the offer. The Lander recruiters were always concerned
that I made the decision that was right for me. This is a quality that is rare
among recruiters."
"Lander is very fortunate to have people of this caliber working for
them. I feel like the recruiters at Lander are friends that I can count
on. I will definitely recommend Lander to friends that are in the job
market, and will contact Lander first the next time that I am
looking."
"In April of 2003, I started a new IT Audit Manager position with one of the
nation's most renowned research universities in a location well known for scenic
beauty and a fitness-oriented culture. This "dream" position would not have
been possible without the assistance of Lander International and their fine
team of recruiters.
"Lander is truly a nationwide recruiter. Each recruiter is assigned
a different region of the country. They get to know the companies
in their regions and the particularities of the region itself. To
leverage their nationwide presence, the recruiters communicate regularly
with each other about the opportunities and the candidates they are
working with. Since I was considering many regions of the country,
I had the pleasure of working with many of the recruiters.
"Even though 2002 was a slow year for employment opportunities,
at least one of the recruiters at Lander would call me on occasion
just to touch base, or help me revise my resume for better impact.
No other recruiting firms I worked with kept in touch as often or
provided me with as many potential opportunities as Lander. Many of
the other recruiting firms were "one opportunity wonders." When I
didn't get past the phone interview, I never heard from them about
any other opportunities. I usually never heard from them at all! After
first contacting Lander, it wasn't very long until I realized the
futility of intensely searching the web for opportunities. Lander's
recruiters were calling me with more and much better opportunities
than anything I found on the Internet. Lander really distanced themselves
from the other recruiting firms and the online job banks because of
their coordinated, professional approach, their exciting opportunities,
and their ceaseless dedication to finding the right position for me.
"The position that I did accept was not easy to secure because
of the specific requirements that the client was looking for. If not
for the dedication and insights of the Lander team's experience,
I would not have this position. They were familiar with the client
because of previous placements and understood the qualifications and
unique type of person that the client was looking for. My Lander recruiter
believed that I had the proper professional qualifications and that
I possessed the personal traits that the client was seeking. However,
it took him several phone calls, a few even on the weekends, to coach
me and help me to be able to articulate who I really am and what motivates
me. When the phone interview came, I was prepared. I was even more
prepared for the on-site visit. The end result of all that work and
preparation was a great job offer that I accepted.
"I really can't thank the fine recruiting professionals at Lander
enough. If it weren't for their hard work and professional dedication,
I wouldn't have had this opportunity in the first place, and if I
did, I wouldn't have been prepared for the unique interview style
of the client. I highly recommend the services of Lander International."
"This last January I was laid off and began immediately doing everything I
could to return to the world of the employed. My efforts included contacting
several recruiting firms, placing my resume on Monster.com etc., scouring corporate
websites and sending out my resume like mad.
"One of the byproducts of my efforts has been an increased understanding
of how different recruiting firms operate. Some firms act solely as
resume shoppers, some use candidates just to find other job seekers,
and a very few show a real interest in the people that they are trying
to help find jobs.
"However, my experience with Lander International has been a
wonderful exception to the norm. Lander is the only (and I mean only)
recruiting firm that performed the job as I feel it is meant to be
performed balancing the needs of the hiring company with the
wants of the job seeker. There were several things my Lander recruiter
did that no one else did. These included: spending a lot of time up
front getting to know me so that she could not only identify companies
that I would consider working for, but to be better able to tell those
companies who I truly am and what I have to offer. This effort to
ensure a mutual interest showed a respect for both sides of the hiring
process that I have not experienced anywhere else.
"My Lander recruiter also put together a suite of references
for me that were detailed and comprehensive. Not only did these references
help paint a better picture of me to potential employers, it taught
me a few things about myself that I didn't know. And finally she became
a friend to me, adding a little bit of sunshine to the challenge of
finding a new job. If everybody in other recruiting firms put forth
the effort that she does, doing the job the way it should be done,
I wouldn't be writing to single her out. Lander International is wonderful."
"The bottom line is that Lander International was successful in finding
employment for me; I started work in May. Lander handled everything exceedingly
well. The Lander recruiter found the employer and coached me through a
tough, long, trying process. When I wavered and was thinking of taking another
position, he convinced me to stick with it. I'm now glad I did."
"I will be forever grateful for the manner in which Lander handled
my job search process. You made the whole process less stressful, a
notable experience, and fun to say the least. You have an excellent
team and you should be proud of them."
"Through your initiative, foresight, proficient guidance, and
untiring efforts to achieve perfection in all phases of the interview
process, I was able to land the job of my dreams. Your team inspired me
to such an extent I was able to handle any interview with ease and the
ultimate goal of getting the job. My association with your company
is one that I will cherish for a long, long time."
