Courtesy: Always in Style
Courtesy should always be a component of any professional relationship. However, for professionals looking for scarce work in the current economic environment, the exercise of courtesy has become particularly important.

Continuiti Locates Interim Senior Benefits Analyst in Just Two Hours, Backfilling Key Team Member on Emergency Leave
TIME TO FILL: An on-target candidate submitted within 2 hours; hired within 72 hours.
INTERIM NEED: Our client is a Fortune 500 company. A key member of their HR team, a Sr. Benefits Analyst, unexpectedly required early maternity leave. Like so many companies in today’s economy, the client was already short-staffed and this early loss created a critical void in their operations. They needed an H&W and pension “maven” from a Fortune environment – yesterday! As a prior satisfied client of Continuiti, they immediately turned to us to swiftly locate the right talent.
INTERIM SOLUTION: Due to our nationally-known brand and on-going networking efforts, Continuiti attracts a continuous flow of new talent into our HR Community. In this case, a recently-downsized Senior Benefits Analyst - who performed virtually this exact position for her former employer (a company of similar size and sophistication) had just registered with Continuiti as part of her job search and been screened by one of our recruiters. In addition to a strong knowledge of ERISA, HIPAA and other pertinent laws, she also had solid experience in preparing regulatory findings, Summary Plan Descriptions and on-line content. Most critically, the candidate also had the required project management skills which would enable her to capably run the many projects already begun by the permanent staff member.
"Of all the benefits we offer our clients, perhaps our sense of urgency is most appreciated. We understand that when clients reach out to us for assistance, they’re often already hurting… someone has unexpectedly left… or a large project has just landed on their desk. Their need is very real and it’s typically quite critical. They need competent, ‘hit-the-ground-running’ talent – and they need it NOW! Because we have built such an outstanding network of HR Professionals, and because our branding and referral program continually attracts new talent, we are able to move at a speed that frankly outpaces the less-specialized staffing agencies. Of course, you might say this case was even “uber-fast” - as we had a resume in front of the client within two hours of receiving the job order! And yet, it is our “norm” to present 2-3 qualified candidates to our clients within 72 hours. Certainly, even that is a pace that ensures continuity of operations for our clients."
