Q: Is there any cost to me?
A: No. Your costs will include travel to and from the Client, parking (if free parking is not provided) and the normal business expenses of your business. 

Q: How will I know if I have been selected for the job?
A: The Client will screen the resumes for those that meet their requirements in terms of skills and experience. The selected resumes are placed in ascending order starting with the one with the lowest requested rate. Candidates are interviewed in that order. The first candidate that meets the requirements successfully and completes the technical phone interview is hired. We are given one day's notice to schedule the interview with the candidate. If they want to interview you, we will call you immediately (please include all the phone numbers where we may reach you). 

Q: Can I send now the information I have available, and the rest at a later date? Can I send a partial or incomplete reply?
A: We can only process your application if it is complete, precise and unequivocal. All others are discarded. We are unable to contact you, to request you complete your application. You may consider that your ability to understand our questions and your disposition to respond fully will provide us with an initial impression on your fit for this project and Client. 

Q: Who are your Clients?
We have numerous Clients nationwide in different industries. They are small to large companies. We develop strong trustful relationship with internal recruiters and Hiring Managers and always make sure to represent your profile in the best way to them. 

Q: What is the length of the Employment?
A: As a fulltime employee, you are getting access to a position with the expectation of a long-term career with our Client. Once you meet with their HR Department and you are explained all the benefits and Company Policy, you will have a deeper understanding of your career-path with them, retirement plans, etc. 

Q: Am I paid relocation expenses?
A: You will discuss this with the Client directly. Keep in mind that the more you request, the less likely you are to be selected, since the Client is always considering several candidates, not just you. Cost is an issue to all our clients. 

Q: Will I be contacted by you?
A: If your credentials and experience substantially meet all the requirements, you provide the information requested, fully and clearly, and your wage expectations are in line with the budget for the project, we will call you within minutes of receiving your resume and answers to the questions in the application form. After we screen you, we will submit your resume to the Client who will then make a short list of pre-selected contractors. Otherwise you will not be contacted. 

Q: Can you give me more information about this job, a 'rate-range', etc.?
A: At this point you know as much as we do regarding this opportunity. We believe and practice full disclosure; nothing is kept confidential from either you or the Client. There are no 'rate-ranges', only what you consider you can 'live-with', what your experience tells you is reasonable for the market conditions and what you believe is competitive enough to land you this position. Consider your present salary, benefits etc. when deciding how much to ask.

Q: Will I be able to 'negotiate' my salary?
A: No. We consider your salary request as final; we will not try to "negotiate you down" as we respect you as a professional and would not want you to take on a job for less than what you feel comfortable with. The Client does not give us the opportunity to bargain a wage as we are competing with other agencies. Make your request as attractive as you can. Depending upon how much you need a (new) job, the length of your search, how interested you are in this particular Client, the location and the job description included, we suggest you establish an aggressive professional rate that secures you a high place on the short list of candidates for this job. 

Q: If I don't have the skills and experience described in the SOW, can I still apply?
A: If you make the 'short list' you will participate in a technical interview where your skills and experience will be reviewed. If you don't possess the appropriate skills and experience you will not be hired..

Q: Do you deal with intermediaries, other agencies, corp-to-corp arrangements?
A: Yes. 

Q: I replied previously to Vitaver & Associates, Inc. for this position; should I reply again?
A: No. We invited you again because your resume was re-posted on Monster or other job boards as new. 

Q: Can I telecommute; work from home full or part-time?
A: No, the Client needs you to work at their facility. If later on the Client allows you some or all the work remotely, is up to the two of you. 

Q: Do you work with H1B visa holders for permanent positions?
We mostly work with US Citizens and Green Card holders for permanent positions. For some hard-to-fill openings we might occasionally work with H1B visa holders and then it’s directly stated in the job specs. 

Q: I have replied before to Vitaver & Associates, Inc. for a different position, should I reply again?
A: Yes. Even if the required skill-sets and experience are similar, the SOW is different and we need to know that you are confident that you possess the skills and experience required, and that you would like to do this particular work. 

Q: Why would you only then answer my questions?
A: We respect your time and that of our employees equally. We would not like to take up your time or ours unless you meet the requirements and have a legitimate interest in taking this position: you can demonstrate your commitment by providing all the required information as listed above. If you prove to be a suitable candidate, we will gladly respond to your email. 

Q: What if I am just looking around, 'testing the waters', but not certain that I will take the job if offered?
A: You should definitely not respond at this time. This will ensure that you will be considered by us when you decide at a later date to commit yourself to finding another job. 

Q: Do you welcome feedback on the format, contents and/or style of this invitation?
A: Yes, please let us know your input by replying to this note with "Feedback" on the subject line. Thank you! 

Q: Can I quote a salary-range?
A: No, we can only consider your resume if you provide one, clear, all inclusive hourly rate under 1099. 

Q: I have been contacted by another agency. Why should I work with Vitaver & Associates?
A: Our lower overhead allows us to offer your services at a much lower rate than most of our competitors, increasing your chances at landing the contract. Our 16 years of experience and track record on Contingent and Permanent Placements gives you (and the Client) additional peace of mind. Furthermore, we are preferred vendors with the South Florida Water Management System and we have other important companies as clients: City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, Coca Cola, American Express, NASA, Department of Defence, Miami Police Department, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Motorola, etc. 

Q: If I have more questions?
A: Please send us an email after you have submitted ALL items listed in the invitation we sent you by email.
