Who is The Advisor Connection?
The Advisor Connection is an online portal that confidentially connects Candidates with the Firms looking to hire them.
Why should I sign up to your service?
Making a choice to switch from your current Firm is a very serious decision. We offer a way for you to confidentially connect with the Firms looking to hire you. Simply fill out the Registration Form and our software will confidentially connect you with matching Firms. We have many regional and national Firms that are part of the system that do not wish to be listed on our Current Firms page. By filling out the Registration Form, you have the ability to be connected with many Firms you may not know a lot about but could be a perfect fit for you.
How long does it take to register?
The process will take less than five minutes.
Is there a cost for your service?
No! Our service is 100% free for Candidates.
How do I communicate with Firms?
After filling out the Registration Form, we send you an email confirming your registration on our site. We also send an email to the recruiters at the Firms you matched up with informing them that someone they are looking for has registered on our site. The recruiter then sends you a confidential email and starts communicating with you. Any email that you send to the Firm is 100% confidential because our email system removes your email address and replaces it with a email address that comes from us.
I received an email telling me I could receive a contact management system after I was placed through your service. How do I claim it?
In order to receive your CRM, you need to register through our site and be placed within a Firm using our service. In addition to registering to our service, you need to make your first contact with the Firm through our service. Simply go to our Contact Us page and send an email to our customer service department letting us know you have been placed. After confirming your request, we will sent you a promotional code that will allow you to obtain the software for free.
Do Firms using our service pay a fee after the Rep or Advisor is placed?
No! Our site is designed to help reduce the typical fees associated with bringing on new talent. Depending on the package you purchase, it only takes one or two placements to start saving lots of money.
How do you generate traffic to your website?
We generate traffic through a variety of different methods:
How “new” are the referrals?
Our system is designed to connect Candidates with matching Firms on the day they register. This means that you will never receive a Candidate that signed up 6 months ago unless that Candidate specifically asks us to locate additional Firms.
What is the difference between The Advisor Connection and a typical job board?
Unlike job boards where possible Candidates may have registered months or even years ago, our service only provides you with the Candidates that are actively seeking a new Firm.
Can I pay a smaller start-up fee and then a second fee once I place a Candidate?
To be fair to all of our clients, we do not accept placement fees from the Firms that have paid to be part of our distribution network.
What is a “qualified” Candidate?
A “qualified” Candidate is a professional that has registered on our site with the purpose of finding a new Firm. Firms are sent the Candidates that match them based on their Firm's preferences.
