ABOUT
ART AND THE WORK THAT ART DOES
ART is a U.S.-headquartered
executive search and recruitment company founded in 1987. ART
is a respected executive search firm that has placed senior-
and mid-level corporate executives with leading world corporations
and institutions. You might have come upon ART first via the
internet, but you should know that ART is not a dotcom, resume
posting service, jobs board or any other type of advertising
or marketing services company. ART is a professional headhunting
company whose income derives almost entirely from the placement
of its candidates. This firm has absolutely no intention of
ever selling or trading any candidate data to any party for
any purpose.
ART candidate data are
stored in our company computers offline, and this information
is not accessible to any party online. ART candidate information
is only shared with particular ART client companies for specific
search assignments, and this information is only shared after
the ART recruiter contacts that candidate and asks for his or
her permission to present this data to the specific client(s).
CANDIDATE
OPT-OUT POLICY FROM ANY E-MAIL MAILINGS
ART has never
maintained any candidate mailing lists or shared or sold any
candidate information, resumes or CV's to any party. ART has
never engaged in bulk mailing solicitations. Every personal
message from a recruiter to a person about a job has been personally
sent by the recruiter specifically for the purpose stated in
that letter, and the name of the recruiter is always stated,
along with his or her valid e-mail address. The subject lines
of messages from ART-derived emails are either replies to messages
sent to ART, or they clearly state language related to executive
search, referrals, positions with clients, jobs, etc.
The overwhelming
origin of ART's business comes from employers and candidates
first contacting ART. If you have received a message from ART, it
is likely due to one of the following reasons: (1) you are a client
of ART who has contacted ART to assist your company to find
candidates for your company, or (2) you personally had applied to ART for the purpose of seeking
career opportunities. ART is a headhunting company, and as such,
it is also possible that we also might have contacted you initially
due to
a friend, industry colleague or other source recommending or
identifying you
as someone who might be very suitable for a specific
client career opportunity or as an individual in the industry
who might personally be able to recommend qualified people who might be
urgently interested in the client opportunity mentioned.
Most candidates
contacted by ART
by e-mail or phone are normally contacted only a maximum of 1-3
times per year. Most non-candidates are contacted only that
one time for that one search request, unless they themselves
choose to become ART candidates, requesting that we maintain
contact regarding future client positions that might be of interest
to them. We do our best to only contact people about
the kinds of jobs that they personally tell us might interest
them.
ART deeply respects
the privacy of all parties whom we work with, and if you do
not wish to receive any further messages from ART to a particular e-mail
address, please reply to the party who wrote you, and simply
in the subject line, write "REMOVE." (Please note:
this request can only remove the single e-mail address sending
the request. If you wish other addresses to be removed, you
need to send the "REMOVE" message from those addresses.)
The sale or other
transfer of an e-mail address obtained through an opt-out request
is prohibited by U.S. law, and ART respected this request even
before there were such laws in effect. We are only interested
in building careers and good companies for people to grow with.
That is our only business model. We hope that we could be of assistance to your career either
now or long into the future. Whenever you need us, we hope to
be there for your needs.
RESUMES
or CV's and APPLICATIONS SENT TO THIS FIRM
It is
understood that resumes or CV's and applications sent to Atlantic Research Technologies,
L.L.C. by candidates become the property of Atlantic Research Technologies,
L.L.C., which is under no requirement to act upon receipt of said documents
or to work on behalf of said candidates. It is further understood that candidates
who send their applications or resumes or CV's to Atlantic Research Technologies,
L.L.C. are doing so for the purpose of seeking other employment opportunities
in their field and other fields, and that the nature of the hiring process
might possibly lead indirectly or directly to the candidate's employer learning
that the candidate is considering other opportunities. While under no circumstances
would ART ever directly or knowingly contact a candidate's employer to inform
them that one of their employees was seeking other positions through us,
ART cannot control the actions of its clients and the general human nature,
which sometimes gossips. Leaks through hiring authorities may occur and potentially
word might get back to a candidate's employer. While ART tries its best to
guard against such occurences, it should be understood that when a candidate
begins sending out resumes and applications for other jobs, either to search
firms or to companies directly, knowledge that the candidate is seeking to
leave a current employer might very possibly get out in one form or another.
This is particularly true among competing companies in the same industry,
but it can occur in any situation, even across large geographical distances
or international frontiers.
It is
understood that when a candidate contacts ART, that at no time is ART working
as that candidate's agent or representative. At no time does ART ever accept
any payment from any candidate for the purpose of acting as that person's
agent, and there is never any commitment by ART to secure a position for
any candidate. ART, like nearly all other executive search firms, is paid
by an employer to find candidates suitable for that employer's specific job
opening. The details and requirements of that job opening are not limited
to the specifications in a job description. In most cases, a written job description
may be absent, may be cursory, or its parameters may be changed by the employer
at any time during their interviewing, screening and hiring process. Commonly
in the middle of an interview process, an employer might either decide that
they drastically might want to change their original candidate requirements
or the job opening might be erased altogether. ART cannot bear any responsiblity
for such changes.
WORKPLACE
PRIVACY
Candidates
should be respectful of their employer's policies concerning personal use
of company computers, e-mail and other internet systems and policies. Viewing
jobs sites and websites of executive search firms on the internet might not
be considered acceptable company policies at your current employer.
Atlantic
Research Technologies, L.L.C. can bear no responsibility for any unforseen
or other incidents that might ensue. Some employers might consider personal
use of their computers and e-mail as grounds for dismissal.
It is
possible that in initially contacting headhunted candidates who had not previously
contacted ART and registered with ART, the ART recruiter might have made
contact with that person by telephoning the person at his or her workplace,
or that the recruiter might have contacted the person by sending a letter
to the person's business e-mail address. When making such presentations by
phone and especially by e-mail, the ART recruiter makes it clear that the
person was recommended to ART, and not that the person had any prior contact
with ART for the purpose of searching for a new job. By such a presentation,
the person can never be said to have had his or her company loyalty compromised
or status compromised by an ART solicitation.
If
you are concerned about your own e-mail security and privacy at your place
of work, use a private e-mail account to contact headhunters. ART will assume that if it is sent
e-mail from a particular address it is safe for ART to reply to that e-mail
address, unless you state otherwise. If ART contacts you, initial contact
may be by e-mail, telephone or by surface mail. Responses tend to be fairly
quick if it appears to us that a candidate's background may match our client
companies' needs. Please make it clear on your resume or message what phone
numbers, e-mail addresses or other addresses are safe for us or any of our
client-companies to reply to and which are not. It is preferable that such
contact information be mentioned in the body of the message, even if it also
appears in a resume.
CANDIDATE
RESPONSIBILITY TO ART
It is presumed
that all information provided ART by the candidate about work history, education,
career interests, goals, requirements, etc., have been presented by the candidate
accurately and completely. It should be expected that any and all information
provided to ART might potentially be discussed with the ART client company
that the candidate has given permission to be presented to.
Candidates
who present their resume, CV or other statements about their
work history, educational credentials, work permits, etc., should
assume that any and all claims might be questioned or investigated
by an employer or other parties utilized by the employer. It
is therefore highly recommended that candidates avoid the practices
of misstating dates of employment, of embellishing their achievements,
of stating deceptively valid sounding educational degrees
sold by non-accredited companies ("diploma mills"),
etc. It is possible that either false statements or deceptive
statements of this nature could cause an employer to either
not interview or even to terminate an employee who was found
to have made false statements prior to being offered a position.
It
is not ART's responsibility to verify or validate a candidate's work
history, employment details or other information that a candidate provides
to us. But candidates should understand that if ART does
discover falsification or embellishment by a candidate, that
such a person might be asked for clarification or explanations by
the ART recruiter, and if the candidate's response is unsatisfactory,
the candidate might never be presented to an ART client for
any position.
GENERAL
DISCLAIMER
UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES DOES ATLANTIC RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES, L.L.C. ("ART"), OR
ANY OF ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS OR EMPLOYEES BEAR ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY
-- FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE-- FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF ITS CANDIDATES.
ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS ARISING FROM A HIRE OR HIRING PROCESS ARE PURELY
AND EXCLUSIVELY A MATTER BETWEEN THE CANDIDATE AND HIS OR HER EMPLOYER OR
PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER. ATLANTIC RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES, L.L.C. PROVIDES
REFERRALS OF CANDIDATES TO CLIENT-COMPANIES, BUT IT IS UP TO BOTH THE CANDIDATE
AND THE EMPLOYER TO EVALUATE EACH OTHER'S SUITABILITY FOR EMPLOYMENT, AND
FOR THE EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE ALONE TO ASSUME ALL POSSIBLE RISKS AND REPERCUSSIONS
OF AN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT.
GENERAL
ADVISORY TO CANDIDATES
Atlantic
Research Technologies, L.L.C. tries to the best of its ability to only accept
job searches from firms that it believes offer good career opportunities
to our candidates. (Approximately 50% of all employer search requests
made to ART are rejected by ART.)
The issue of "what is good for one person" might
vary greatly from person to person or situation to situation. In matching
candidates to client-companies, ART recruiters seek to balance information
provided by candidates in their applications and resumes or CV's with information
provided by client-companies. Sometimes, however, candidate-supplied or company-supplied
information might be incomplete, insufficient, incorrect or just "wishful
thinking." Or in the event of sudden economic changes or downturns, yesterday's
"hopeful expectations" might be suddenly turned into "today's shock." In
the case of prospective employers, issues regarding company sales volume,
company finances, company prospects, and issues regarding the management
style of company officers and their business plan, among other important
matters related to the candidate's career, must be evaluated by the candidate
himself or herself prior to taking an offer of employment .
ART is unable to investigate these matters or their validity on behalf of
the candidate at any time, although if requested by the candidate, we may
assist in requesting such data from the client-company for the review of
the candidate.
During
an interview process, certain details about a candidate or client-company
might surface, which could suggest that either the candidate might not be
suitable for the company or that the company might not be suitable for the candidate.
In such an event, ART reserves the right to advise either party or both
parties of what this firm might see as a potential mismatch.
Atlantic Research
Technologies, L.L.C., its members, managers or employees, bear no liability
to either candidate or client-company for ART's not knowing or not being
informed of certain relevant or critical facts which, if known, might have
suggested the match would not have been an appropriate one. It is therefore
the full responsibility of the candidate to learn as much as he or she can
about the prospective employer, and it is the full responsibility of the
client-company to learn as much as it can about the prospective employee,
prior to a job offer, resignation and commencement of employment, but in
offering and accepting an an offer of employment, both the employer and employee
mutually accept full responsibility for any and all risks and repercussions
that might follow from their choices.
NONDISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES
Atlantic Research Technologies, L.L.C. matches candidates to client jobs based only on non-discriminatory business and career criteria related to candidate job experiences, candidate job performance, candidate statements of achievements and market familiarities, candidate statements of their requirements and preferences, employer statements of their company goals and business objectives, employer statements of the vacancy's budgetary limitations, etc.
Atlantic Research Technologies, L.L.C. is a U.S. based firm that is in full compliance with U.S. federal, state and local laws concerning equal opportunity employment and non-discriminatory hiring practices. We at ART believe that ART exceeds these existing laws and regulations, because we believe that any form of hiring discrimination based on race, color, gender, ethnicity, religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, sexual preference or other subjective and nonessential criteria is immoral, unethical, and illegal.
ART bases its searches solely on the specific nondiscriminatory job qualifications of its clients' openings and upon our understanding of our candidates' experiences and abilities to perform those qualifications.
ART will not accept any search assignment in the U.S. in violation of U.S. law and/ or our higher standards. Furthermore, ART will not accept search assignments outside the U.S. whose job descriptions are expressed in nonessentially limiting or discriminatory language. Being a U.S. based recruitment firm, we are in full compliance with U.S. laws related to employment non-discrimination. We do not ask for, nor do we take into account when considering candidates, any personal information that is irrelevant to job performance. We therefore do not ask or take into account a candidate's gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, etc. We do not work with any company in any jurisdiction that requests such information for what appears to be for the purpose of employment discrimination. Even if employment laws in that country differ from U.S. laws, ART proudly follows the same global non-discrimination policy when recruiting for candidates in all countries, for all positions.
LINKS TO THE ART WEBSITE, LINKS FROM THE ART WEBSITE, ILLEGAL NAME THEFT PRACTICES
Atlantic
Research Technologies, L.L.C. does not bear any responsibility for the accuracy,
validity, or claims by companies or parties whose websites
might link to the ART website, or that might be linked from
the ART site. ART does not receive any income from any website
or company for providing web traffic to them, and ART does not
pay any other company for listing the ART website in their directory
or by providing a link to the ART website. In some cases, ART
has voluntarily registered its website with several reputable
search engines or directories, but today, there are hundreds
of links to the ART website that have been made unilaterally
by various companies and websites without the permission or
knowledge of ART. It is not the responsibility of ART to seek
out these links or to investigate the validity of the companies
or websites that might happen to have put a link to ART on their
website.
No
website that lists a link to the ART website is in any partnership
or business relationship of any kind with ART, and Atlantic
Research Technologies, L.L.C. absolutely does not authorize any such linker
to specifically suggest that ART promotes or validates their
products, services or claims.
Disreputable or misleading firms
or individuals who misuse ART's good name and reputation in any way shall cause Atlantic Research Technologies, L.L.C.
to track them down and to bring criminal or civil action against them in the jurisdiction(s) of our choosing. Any such activities, including but not limited to email address spoofing, shall be fully prosecuted.
E-MAIL SPOOFING OR OTHER FRAUDS VICTIMIZING ART
ART, like most companies and individuals, is a frequent victim of email spoofing. We do
not have the capability of preventing most random attempts by spammers that steal or guess legitimate email addresses and then use those email addresses to disguise their true email addresses for sending SPAM. The best way for an individual to determine if an email from ART is real or not is simply to read it and see if there is any logic to the sending of such a letter. If, for example, a sales director at a semiconductor company receives an email discussing a job opportunity in semiconductor sales, it is possible that ART sent it. If, however, the same person received an email supposedly sent from an ART email address, but the letter is a solicitation for a loan, a rolex watch, etc., then the person can be 100% certain that that email was not sent by an ART recruiter. ART is in the business of placing serious people with serious companies. Nobody will ever be sent a frivolous solicitation from ART. If there is any doubt about an email from ART, write the recruiter sending it and you should receive a proper reply if the email is from ART.
ART never charges any fee to our candidates for any reason, and if you are approached by a person claiming to be employed by ART who charges you a fee for any reason, that person is not an ART employee, and this person is committing criminal fraud, victimizing our firm and attempting to victimize you. Report this party to the authorities and never pay money to this person.
Atlantic Research Technologies, L.L.C. bears no liability for any damages caused by such criminals who illegally use our name, email address, or any other company property for the purpose of committing crimes.
