Treeline Client Success Story – The Bulfinch Group

April 27th, 2010 by Danielle Good Pryor, Marketing Advisor

Supplementing the Recruitment Process with Highly Qualified Candidates

The Bulfinch Group is a comprehensive financial services firm committed to helping individuals improve their long-term financial success. They offer unmatched expertise and world class service to their clients primarily across the United States. They are focused on understanding their clients’ dreams and deliver comprehensive strategies to help them build and preserve wealth.

Founded by Seth Medalie in 1994, a career with The Bulfinch Group is a unique opportunity to combine an entrepreneurial spirit with extensive training, sales and marketing support. Given that this role requires specific skills, Seth looks for individuals presently in sales or other “people-oriented” professions. And as most organizations know, ideal candidates are hard to find.

“For many years, we had our own Director of Recruiting here at The Bulfinch Group to find our candidates,” said Seth. “When she retired, we didn’t initially think about working with a sales recruiting firm until one of our management members met Dan Fantasia, owner of Treeline Inc., at a networking event.”

After several conversations with Dan at Treeline, Seth and The Bulfinch Group were so impressed with the Treeline recruiting process they decided to engage with them to supplement their flow of candidates.

“I liked that the Treeline team took the time to get to know about our business and who our ideal candidate is,” said Seth. “Both organizations share the same values as well. We focus on being selective and finding the right people for the culture.”

The Bulfinch Group has worked with Treeline for nearly 2 years and has supplemented their candidate flow seamlessly. Treeline has become an extension of their team to deliver the most qualified candidates based on their skills for this unique role and culture. What’s more, The Bulfinch Group vows that Treeline has always delivered solid, quality candidates. In fact, the last training class The Bulfinch Group held, Treeline placed four of the five candidates.

Treeline has built an organization of professionals who know the industry inside and out. Also, finding the right people is a full-time job. But with Treeline’s focused consultants and cutting-edge search techniques, they can find the quality candidates for a specific client easily and quickly.

“We strive to assist our clients while saving them time and money,” said Dan Fantasia, owner, Treeline. We reduce the time between interviewing and hiring by 75%. And with our latest innovation, DADO, clients can learn more about a pre-qualified candidate through photos, videos, sales statistics, resumes and professional recommendations.”

Whether an organization needs to build an entire sales force from the ground up, or simply looking for a top performer, Treeline can help. Treeline is an award-winning recruiting firm known for building best-in-class, high output sales organizations.

Katie Johnson, Runs the Boston Marathon and Inspires the Treeline Team

April 20th, 2010 by Amanda Musto, Social Media Marketing Representative at Treeline, Inc

Click Here to watch the video of Katie after completing the Boston Marathon

Katie Johnson is Treeline, Inc’s Public Relations Representative. This was her second time completing the Boston Marathon. We are very proud to have her on the Treeline Team. Her determination, motivation, and competitive nature inspires us to work hard and strive to be the best executive sales search firm in the nation.

Katie finished the race in 5 hours 1 minute, with an 11 minute 28 second pace.

Katie’s motivation for running the Boston Marathon:

“I had a wonderful experience training for and completing the 2009 Boston Marathon as a member of Team Eye & Ear. Thank you again for helping me raise almost $6,000 for the Infirmary!  These funds will help find treatments and cures for diseases of the retina.

During the spring and summer, I thought a lot about joining Team Eye & Ear again, but wasn’t 100% sure until I attended MEEI’s ‘Light Up the Night’ dinner in November.  At this dinner, Drs. Evangelos S. Gragoudas and Joan W. Miller received the Reynolds Society Achievement Award in Research. It was their pioneering research that led to the first-ever treatment for the wet form of Macular Degeneration. These two doctors laid the foundation for subsequent successful treatments that have saved and restored the vision of more than a million people worldwide. Including mine. I made my decision that night. I am thrilled to be part of Team Eye & Ear once again.”

Tips for Using Social Networks While Searching for a Job

April 13th, 2010 by Greta,

Searching for a job has become more difficult than ever. With hundreds of candidates with similar backgrounds competing for the same job, employers are seeking alternative ways to evaluate their pool of candidates.  One of the most frequently used tricks is to Google them.  A potential employer’s first impression of you is more often than not based on that Google search.  With a simple search on the popular search engine, potential employers will uncover multiple sources of information about you including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.  This means that your status update on Facebook, or latest tweet on Twitter could be the deciding point on whether or not you get the job.  So how do you make sure that your “Google-able” information is appropriate?

Here are 6 Social Networking tips:

  1. Have a profile picture that exemplifies a person a potential employer would want to hire.
  2. Make sure your status update is appropriate and is something you do not mind sharing with a room full of CEO’s.
  3. Don’t include any links to websites containing inappropriate content.
  4. Be careful what your friends post on your Facebook wall.
  5. Any pictures tagged of you should be appropriate and portray a mature, responsible person.
  6. If you have a blog, steer clear of controversial topics or personal problems that could be perceived in a negative way.

Do you have a story of an employee passing on you because of your Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn profile? Are you an employer that has hired, or passed on a candidate after finding something about them on the web? Do you have a tip that’s not on the list and we should add? Leave us a comment and let us know!

The Richest Man in Town

April 7th, 2010 by Lauren Moreau,
“In a precious few moments, what we say and do can be lasting…even life changing.”

Meet Marty, someone that went above and beyond his job and made a difference. He is an inspiration to all of us at Treeline and reminds us who we are and what we are striving for. Like the trailblazers quest to experience the rush and excitement of ‘climbing above the tree line,’ our ultimate goal is to climb to the top of our industry.

“It’s not your position in life that matters, but choosing to do what matters most in life that counts.”
