Overview For Candidates
Zenzola Group works on behalf of client companies
to search for and recruit highly qualified professionals.
All fees related to the search are client paid. In every
search we develop a thorough understanding of the position
specification, organizational structure and company culture,
as well as the client’s expectations for the prospective
employee. We then search for the best candidates.
Most of the people we approach are not actively in the
job market. Frequently they are qualified professionals
in satisfactory situations, interested only in having
exceptional career opportunities brought to their attention
for serious consideration. We maintain a proprietary
database of highly skilled and qualified candidates we
also meet during searches.
How to Work with Us
Career development is a thoughtful and considered process.
In exploring a career opportunity with your Zenzola
Group Consultant, keep these important points in mind:
- Be honest with us: share not only your values and
career aspirations, but also any obstacles to consideration
of an opportunity.
- Give us a complete description of your experience.
- Provide us with solid professional references from
people who are familiar with your work.
- Fulfill your commitments: a follow-up call to us
after an interview is an important part of the offer
development process.
- We understand how to match opportunity with the individual.
Mutual cooperation is vital to that process.
We are acutely sensitive to your personal need for confidentiality
as we address your questions and concerns. Our ongoing
relationships with our clients often give us continued
contact with candidates we place; therefore, we want
only to make good matches. Encouraging an inappropriate
career move would be contrary to our philosophy and counter-productive
to maintaining good client relationships. We will ask
for your time only when a genuine opportunity exists.
Candidate Coaching
Zenzola Group, Inc. understands that the future of a
successful new career is heavily weighed on the experience

To help ensure success, we offer the following complimentary
consulting services to all candidates we place:
- Interviewing consultations
- Negotiation mediation (for both the candidate and
client)
- Placement assistance
- Personal interest, life-balance and culture fit assistance
- Job satisfaction and success follow-through
We want nothing more than a mutually successful experience
for both our clients and the candidates we place.
Situation
A candidate and their family was preparing for a new
career overseas, without any expatriate experience.
Solution
Ed and Pam Zenzola assisted this candidate with their
transition into expatriate life. This huge step
for the candidate made it necessary for collaboration
and consultation before they actually moved. The
Zenzolas helped the candidate start planning and anticipating
the sorts of challenges they were about to face.
Result
International business savvy and intelligence, compassion
and patience were all themes that were worked on under
the tutelage of Pam and Ed Zenzola. The candidate
and their family had a very successful and harmonious
experience overseas.
Situation
A Japanese company with a U.S. presence had a strategic
intent to develop new businesses in the U.S. The Japanese
headquarters had prior relationships with Italian apparel
designers and Chinese footwear manufacturers and decided
they should start a U.S. ladies footwear business.
Mr. Zenzola had been engaged part time with the U.S.
operation as their Business Advisor so they asked him
to find a Sales Manager with footwear experience. Mr.
Zenzola advised the company that market entry would
require significant market development before sales
could be realized. Brand awareness, product placement,
advertising and other market development issues had
to be addressed.
Solution
Mr. Zenzola assisted the company in writing a performance
profile to identify potential candidates with applicable
market development and sales experience. Candidates
were sourced by talking with buyers in department stores
and independent footwear businesses.
Results
A seasoned marketing and sales professional with extensive
market development accomplishments was hired who proceeded
to develop a comprehensive marketing and sales program
resulting in a successful launch of the brand.
