Atlantic Research Technologies, L.L.C.: Global Executive Search for CXO, VP, Director and Manager-level Recruitment

Sending a Resume or CV to ART?

If you are new to ART, please connect to us on Linkedin.Your profile will be reviewed and if we believe that we might have a current client search that fits your experience, an ART recruiter at that time will request that you send him or her your updated resume or CV.

Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting candidate resumes or CV's via the ART website.

So that we can best understand your experiences for possible ART client searches, we recommend that your Linkedin profile be clear about:

the companies you have worked at
the products or services that you have dealt with
the titles that you have held
the achievements that you have made
relevant skills or technologies in which you have competence
the level of your language skills in English or in other languages

What We Do With Your Information

Please read below our policies and recommendations regarding resumes and CV's.
You may also review our data protection and other policies here.

OUR REVIEW PROCESS.

Shortly after we receive notification of your connection to the ART Linkedin page, your Linkedin.com profile that you had posted will be reviewed by an experienced senior ART recruiter. That person will be a person who is in charge of recruitment for your industry, region, and job function. The goal of this early review and analysis by an experienced and industry-knowledgeable recruiter is to maximize the likelihood of matching you with a suitable ART client opportunity when it appears.

We strongly recommend that you make sure that your Linkedin.com profile gives a reader as complete as possible a sense of your employment history, achievements, product or service familiarity, education and relevant skills, such as foreign language abilities or computer skills.

WE ASK YOUR PERMISSION BEFORE PRESENTING YOU.

If we do see a possible match for your career, an ART recruiter in charge of that client search would contact you and tell you about the job. S/he might at that time request that you send us your current resume or CV for further review. If there then appeared to be a suitable fit, s/he would identify the name of our client-company and then s/he would ask your permission to present you to that company.

WE ONLY PRESENT YOU TO SPECIFIC FIRMS ABOUT SPECIFIC POSITIONS.

We only work with companies that have first contracted with us to help with a specific search need. We do not send candidate resumes or CV's unsolicited to employers.

WHEN YOU WORK WITH ART, YOU WILL KNOW WHOM YOU ARE PRESENTED TO.

With regard to the candidate search and identification process, ART does not partner with any other recruitment firm anywhere. We never have, because we only accept searches if we believe that we alone could recruit suitable candidates for our clients. We also do not partner with other recruitment firms in the search process so that ART can control the quality, ethics and time lines of the search.

Your data is only to be shared with our client companies or with certain parties assigned by those firms that they might have contracted to work on their side of the search and evaluation process. If we contact you to ask if you would like to be presented for a certain job, we will tell you who our client is. If there is an intermediary recruitment partner working with us in the presentation process, we will identify to you the name of that firm, and you will be asked by us for your permission to make a presentation to the employer through such a party.

When you are contacted by an ART recruiter, that one person will be your contact, and it will be s/he who will ideally present you to the ART client-company, provide you with feedback as it comes from the employer, and help with your interview and offer negotiations if necessary. With ART you will not be passed from one person to another to another, from office to office, to be left adrift. Your ART recruiter will understand what you do and what you prefer and require from potential employers. There will be no need to keep explaining yourself to new recruiters.

Your ART recruiter will have a minimum of ten years' experience in executive search, most often with experience in your field, industry, discipline, market, and geographical region.

WE WILL NEVER SELL YOUR DATA.

ART, which was founded in 1987, never has sold candidate information to any third party. We never will! Our business model is entirely related to the placement of candidates with our clients.

WE REMAIN MINDFUL AND VIGILANT OF YOUR DATA SECURITY.

We are very proud of our long-standing respect for candidate data since our founding. For additional details about ART's privacy and data security policy, we strongly encourage you to please read here.

WE HAVE LONG MEMORIES OF GOOD CANDIDATES.

You only have to apply to us once to be considered eligible for all ART jobs now and in the future. There is therefore no need to skew a resume or CV to fit a particular job listing. If we know who you are and what you are looking for, then we all have a better chance of success.

ABOUT JOB LISTINGS ON THE ART WEBSITE.

Most ART website job listings have been shortened for space limitations. As a result, sometimes what looks at first glance like a "perfect match," might not be one, after full examination of client compensation limits, client relocation policies, and other key criteria.

Some online postings might have been filled. Also, most confidential jobs listed with ART are not posted online. It is best to consider our online postings as indicators of past searches or typical searches that we normally conduct.

The ART recruiter assigned to review your data determines your suitability for all current and future client opportunities listed with ART.

WE CONTACT YOU WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING GOOD TO TALK ABOUT.

If you do not hear from us immediately, that does not mean that we have forgotten you! It just means that a client job matching your skills, requirements and preferences is not currently available.

What We Need From You

BE PROUD TO DESCRIBE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS WELL.

As far as your CV or Resume is concerned, we want to understand what you have done, in what context, and with what successes. A clear description of your employment history could help us understand what positions might be good for you. The quality of your resume or CV, as well as the clarity with which you state your true career preferences and requirements, will best help us make good matches.

A VAGUE RESUME OR CV YIELDS POOR RESULTS FOR EVERYONE.

Please never think that with ART, you will be considered for a wider variety of opportunities if you describe your employment experiences vaguely. Quite the opposite is likely. Our recruiters are well trained to understand the complexities of many industries and occupations. From experience, we know possible applications for your skills within your sector and beyond it.

But if you do not tell us what kinds of products you have worked with, what kinds of customers you have served, how then could we properly match your skills to incoming ART client searches? We cannot, and it is impractical for us to contact a candidate to ask what s/he has done over a career. You have to tell us, just as you would have to explain to an employer.

FULL NAMES PLEASE.

Candidates from all countries are advised to state their full legal names in the resumes and CV's sent to us, in order to ensure proper filing. Nicknames, first names only, or abbreviations are not recommended. Candidates who commonly use for business purposes two sets of names (English and Chinese personal names, for example), should state their legal names and English name in the name order that is customary for business purposes in their country.

Please understand that there might be many people in our records who only identified themselves to us as "J.Smith," "W. Lee," "J. García," "Kumar S.," etc., so it is very advisable that you please identify yourself to us according to your full legal name. This extra care could avoid problems of misfiling, etc.

PROVIDE CONTACT POINTS THAT YOU CHECK REGULARLY.

Please ensure that your e-mail address, phone number(s) and addresses are current. It is preferred that you do not use your current employer's e-mail system for correspondence. Your job search is your private business, not your employer's. Please make sure that the e-mail address that you supply us with is one that you check daily, even months after sending us your resume or CV.

AVOID MISSTATEMENTS OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT HISTORY.

Please note that many companies conduct checks on their applicants' and current employees' employment and educational history.

Candidates who have been discovered during a hiring process to have stated false or misleading qualifications should expect that these facts will be reported to the ART client company. Candidates who have stated false or misleading qualifications yet have been hired by an ART client company, might be subject to dismissal based on their having falsified their educational or employment history, as expressed in a resume or CV.

It is therefore very important that your resume or CV should accurately state your full employment history, with correct dates of employment, job titles, duties and achievements.

AVOID MISSTATEMENTS OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS.

Please always state your educational qualifications correctly. It is important that you state the course of study, degree(s) earned, dates of study, or other relevant details clearly and accurately.

If up to now you have successfully claimed that you have been awarded a "degree" from a company masquerading as an educational institution ("diploma mills") it is IMPERATIVE that you never make any such claims in any application to ART and that you do not make any such claims to an ART client company. ART recruiters will not knowingly present anyone stating diploma mill "degrees" to an ART client. If your resume or CV has included diploma-mill degrees, please remove such mention.
