If you are one of the 7.6 million recently unemployed individuals scouring the job market for employment opportunities, take note! A FREE, technologically advanced tool which will give you the edge required in this competitive market is now available to you from JTL Services, a national executive search & job placement firm recruiting quality talent for more than a decade.
MyJobCast.com
is an online communication tool that strategically places your resume before interested and appropriate hiring mangers. This secure application allows you to track your resume, which is your lifeline to companies seeking individuals with your credentials. The system also permits you to control and observe who is viewing and receiving your resume, and assists with interview scheduling, as well as reference generation and storage. Perhaps most pertinent, MyJobCast.com provides valuable interview preparation tips and feedback which will enhance your job landing opportunities.
After your interview, MyJobCast.com keeps you in the hiring eye of the company decision maker by guiding you through the preparation of a meaningful thank you letter. In addition, twelve hours after your scheduled interview, you will be reminded to send out an interview feedback request to the individual(s) with whom you interacted, a critical step to evaluating and/or adjusting your ability to present your best attributes. Finally, the site can send all process updates via SMS, directly to a member’s mobile device.
In a few short months, during its beta launch, nearly 1000 members have joined MyJobCast.com. And while the application has been effective in its current state, implementation of new features is ongoing. “At the present time”, says Jeff LeFevre, co-founder, “we are tweaking the system to include companies and recruiting agencies’ profiles and available jobs.” This will allow you to search for open jobs and send your own profiles to those companies seeking employees. Conversely, those hiring will have the ability to seek out potential candidates, and open a digital connection using the system’s tools, thus expediting and advancing the entire process.

MyJobCast.com is an
online application to
help job seekers.
Features include secure
resume transmission and
tracking, an online
reference generator
system, interview
feedback system, and an
online calendar system
with reminder service.
Q. Why did you start
your business and what
niche does it fill?
A. We saw that there was
a need for people to
better understand the
process of getting a job
and helping them through
that process. Being in
the executive search
business, we understand
that there is only a
hand full of candidates
that we ultimately help
with their careers. The
reality is that most
people that come across
our desks are not
necessarily individuals
we can ultimately place.
It is the nature of the
business.
As a company our mission
includes helping connect
people with jobs we felt
we could do more to help
fulfill this mission. We
spent a year creating a
team and via focus group
meetings, we created a
firm objective with our
new endeavor.
Q. How did you
finance your business?
A. Private investment.
Q. Who are your
customers?
A. Anyone who is
actively seeking a new
job is a great customer
prospect. However since
the system can keep your
resume private and have
your references at the
ready, even an employed
individual not in search
of a new job can be a
customer. The reality is
that, as we understand,
being prepared is half
the battle.
Unfortunately, people
can quickly become
unemployed, and having
your resume updated,
references ready, and a
tool to track who is
looking at your
countless resume sends
can become a pivotal
tool.
Q. What are the most
critical things you have
done to grow your
business?
A. Though I feel there
are many things a
business owner can do to
pave the way to success,
I typically tout the
following three
foundational items.
1.) We created a team of
great individuals.
Employing professional,
trustworthy people who
genuinely care about
others was important to
me and has paid great
dividends. A company’s
greatest asset is its
employees!
2.) Another critical
item is to stay
creative. Like most
businesses, we realize
that we cannot get
complacent and that we
must change with the
times. Our openness to
change has also paid its
dividends.
3.) We invest back into
our company
continuously, and on
many levels.
Q. How have you used
social media tools like
LinkedIn to grow your
business?
A. Yes absolutely.
Though there are several
very interesting and
worthy online social
media networks.
Currently I feel that
LinkedIn is one of the
best.
Q. What are three
pieces of advice you
would offer
entrepreneurs starting
out today?
A. In no particular
order….
1.) Have a dream and
believe in it, even
during the strenuous
periods. Most successful
entrepreneurs have been
through very stressful
financial periods of
reassessing. Owning a
business has great
rewards, but is not
easy.
2.) Be fiscally
responsible.
3.) Do what’s right. In
business, as in your
personal life, you
should always do “the
right thing”. It is very
easy and sometimes very
tempting to make bad
decisions. It is those
bad decisions that
almost always come back
to haunt you. And
conversely it is usually
those “right” decisions
that pay back rewards.
Q. How does your
business "give back" to
the community or to
society?
A. Well I think its
taking what I have
learned over the course
of 10 plus years and
getting that knowledge
out there for people to
utilize. In the
executive search
business your inventory
is limited to the best
of the best. In order
for me to have a
successful business we
can only work with the
candidates that clients
will compensate us on.
Not everyone will have a
fee associated with
them. A lot of people
don’t realize this
reality. Just because
I’m a recruiter doesn’t
mean that a company will
pay me a fee for
everyone. Believe me I
wish they would.
My new endeavor is a
very calculated attempt
to fill that need. The
things that we have
learned over the years
are extremely valuable.
Job boards and resume
boards try to replace
the recruiter. However,
they are only helpful
for the candidate that
has the keywords that
companies are seeking.
Another thing is that
these boards don’t have
the best of the best and
not everyone wants their
personal information out
there to be seen by
everyone.
Career coaches work with
people who can afford to
pay them thousands of
dollars. This is not an
option for the average
job candidate. So, all
of these tools are niche
for a small amount of
people. Something that I
learned a long time ago
was that there is a job
out there for everyone.
I thought why not take
what I have learned and
create a tool that can
benefit the people that
fall outside of these
other traditional tools.
Q. How and why was it
important to base your
business in the Triangle
area?
A. I opened an office in
Cary about 2 years ago.
Things have gone very
well and my family and I
have now relocated from
Connecticut last year.
It is a great place to
raise a family.
On more of a business
level, I think that
overall, there are a
number of great things
for my type of business
to be around in the
Triangle area. There is
a great supply of highly
educated and extremely
friendly people making
great candidates to work
for and with. There is
also a great supply of
entrepreneurial and
technical savvy business
individuals that I am
rather excited to
continue meeting. In my
first year here, I am
extremely elated at the
quality and caliber of
people in this area and
I think there is
tremendous business
opportunity.
Hiring Managers -
Finding Quality Job
Candidates Just Got
Easier
JTL Services, Inc., a
leading job recruiting
company with offices in
Connecticut and North
Carolina, has just
launched a service to
help its clients find
top quality candidates
Southington, CT (April
9, 2008) -- As many
hiring managers will
attest to, finding
high-quality job
candidates for an
organization is not
always an easy task. And
there lies one of the
main reasons that
organizations both small
and large are flocking
to job recruiters for
their help.
But for a job recruiter
with over 10,000 resumes
and a growing network of
potential candidates, a
high-quality candidate
does surface quite
often. And when a good
job recruiter does come
across a high-quality
job candidate, they
typically place them
very quickly. In fact,
they can sometimes be
placed within a few
days. Many times they
are placed even where a
job opening didn't
exist. Many hiring
managers realize the
rarity in top quality
candidates and grab them
when they are available.
"The new service will
focus on quickly
connecting high-quality
job candidates or MPCs
(most place-able
candidates) as we refer
to them in the industry,
with our valued clients
- the operative word
being "quickly". This
year, in our continuing
efforts to grow and
separate ourselves from
the rest, we have
decided to focus a great
deal of energy and
resources on the
Internet and new media.
We strive towards
finding and using the
most effective methods
of communicating with
our clients. We realize
just how important that
line of communication is
for every party
involved: the client,
candidate and JTL", says
Jeff LeFevre, Managing
Partner of JTL.
Using the services is
easy. JTL has created a
web page within their
website showcasing MPC
candidates. To receive
an email notification
whenever this page gets
edited, simply fill out
the short online signup
form at http://jtlservices.com/mpc-email-notification.html.
If a client has interest
in any of the MPC
candidates, they simply
click the link "I Want
More Information on This
Candidate", and a JTL
recruiter will send out
a packet of information
to the client. The
emphasis is to
streamline the
communication in an
effective and quick
fashion, making it very
easy for a client to
keep tabs on MPCs at JTL.

JTL Services, Inc.
Offers a $1,000.00
Referral Fee in North
Carolina and Connecticut
Managing Partner of
JTL Services, Inc. an
executive search firm is
sharing the wealth with
their candidates
Southington, CT
(November 21, 2007) --
Executive Search Firm
offers $1,000.00
referral fee for anyone
that refers a candidate
that they place with one
of their clients.
JTL Services, Inc.
Founder and Managing
Partner Jeff LeFevre
decided to implement a
program that allows
friends, family members
and coworkers to benefit
by referring them to his
search firm. They are
offering $1,000.00 for
referring a candidate
that they place with one
of their clients.
"Today the power and
ability for networking
has never been stronger.
What hopefully this will
accomplish is to educate
the job consumer that
the best way to get a
job is by being referred
to one. What my team is
truly great at is
promoting a candidate.
Instead of your resume
sitting on someone's
desk for the purpose of
being disqualified or to
find out that the job
has already been filled,
why not try your luck
with a professional
recruiter? A
professional recruiter
is one that is going to
interview you, so that
he or she will
understand what it is
that you're looking for.
They will also guide you
throughout the interview
process by preparing you
in all aspects and
finally negotiating with
your future employer on
salary. JTL Services,
Inc. represents all of
our candidates in a
professional manner and
you can be confident
that your resume will
never be sent out
without your
pre-approval."
