Testimonials

I’m sure you hear it all the time, but as a recruiter, you definitely are different (in a very good way). I truly enjoyed the opportunity to meet with you, your candor and your style in approaching executive recruitment. I trust we can work together some day on a future search and in the interim, will definitely send any eligible candidates your way.

Resignation/Counter Offer Information

During your experience with Beechey Management Resources, you will go through a very detailed evaluation process.

You will begin by determining your own career goals, motivators and criteria for selecting a new opportunity. Your are then "walked" through a series of discussions with your consultant to ensure that your needs will be met and that your expectations are fully understood.

Our process continues until you have accepted an offer, and you are preparing to resign from your current position. You should expect to receive a counter-offer. Even if the company policy is to not present counter offers, you should still be prepared to receive one. We have seen only isolated cases within our company where an accepted counter-offer has benefited the candidate: therefore, counter-offers should never be accepted - EVER.

Your current employer, at the moment of your resignation, is considering only themselves and how your leaving will affect them.

With all this information being presented to you, you feel "special" and it's human nature to want to stay where you're comfortable. Career changes are difficult, you are moving into a new company with new peers, new managers and different responsibilities. This is why if your boss presses the right buttons, you may consider their counter-offer.

However, consider that no matter what your company says when they are making you a counter-offer, you have already shown you lack of loyalty to them. You may stand to lose more down the road than you would by leaving right now.

Since you have been prepared by your consultant to expect all of these things, you will not be caught off guard when presented with a counter-offer. Just remember all of the reasons why you wanted to make a career move, and keep on packing your desk.
