The interview
How did SeatMatch help you find a role that matched your specific skills?
SeatMatch helped me find a great role by making sure that the traits I had that they identified meshed well with the traits that were being sought for the role. They saw that I was a long-term thinker, I was a planner, I was someone who was very detail-oriented, and so it gave me a role where I knew I could excel.
What was the communication like with the SeatMatch team during the process?
The people at SeatMatch responded super quickly to any questions that I had about things that the client was asking for or any questions about the process itself. They always did a great job making sure I knew exactly what was expected of me and how I could be successful.
How did the team handle the personal side of the recruitment process?
I really appreciated how the people at SeatMatch would reach out to me personally—not only when they needed to schedule something but to check in with perhaps how an interview went or how I was feeling about the process. I definitely felt like I had a personal connection; they weren't super formal and treated me as a real person.
What was your experience with the negotiation phase?
The confidentiality during the negotiations was unlike anything I've been able to experience anywhere else. It was wonderful to have someone advocating for my needs and with whom I could be honest about what was important to me and what could be potential issues. It was freeing and a huge relief.
How responsive was SeatMatch during the end-of-year holiday season?
I was actually being hired in December over the holidays. We were doing negotiations literally the week of Christmas. And even still, I could always talk to the representative I was working with at SeatMatch and get those personalized, prompt responses that meant so much to me.
Why would you recommend SeatMatch to a colleague?
I have already told a colleague to use SeatMatch because of the way they actually respect you during the process and care about finding a good match. They're not just trying to get you 'a job' where you can trick your way in; they make the job process not demeaning.
