It hasn't been easy for jobseekers in the financial services industry for the last two years. Although the financial sector unemployment rate is still lagging the same improvements other sectors are experiencing, we are seeing a strong increase in new open positions. We represent clients of all sizes and many of our clients are hiring. More have disclosed to us that they are about to start hiring soon.
If you're an active, passive or poised jobseeker searching for the right opportunity in the financial services industry we hope to earn your trust. Confidentiality is our stock and trade. We're committed to providing our candidates with a professional and discrete process. No matter which stage you're in we encourage you to utilize these 5 tools:

RJ & Makay® is noticeably different from many of our competitors.
Here are a few examples:
Results. We have an outstanding track record of getting the deal done. There are over 100 professionals at RJ & Makay® with the same purpose: getting the right people placed with our client companies. If you are the right person for the position we are representing you for we are going to do everything within our power to get you hired. We believe results matter and it is results, not just effort, which we evaluate ourselves by.
We’re Free. We act as your agent throughout the entire process at absolutely no cost to you. Our fees are paid by our clients and have no negative bearing on your compensation package whatsoever. This is one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life. Why go it alone when you can have your own personal, professional agent representing you for free?
Scope. We're not a mom and pop shop, a one man show, or a firm that has a recruiter or two working in a half dozen different industries. We do not specialize in just one city, state or region. We are a national firm representing some of the finest companies in the world. With RJ & Makay® you receive the individual attention as though you were our only candidate backed by the power, contacts and influence of arguably the most successful national firm within our niche.
Competence. Financial services is all we do. Our recruiters are highly experienced and knowledgeable about the specifics of each position we recruit for and have in depth, detailed conversations with our candidates. We have been doing this a long time and have the experience and expertise that you deserve to have representing you.
Candor. You won’t find any of our recruiters as silver tongued devils. The positions we recruit for aren’t for everyone. If you are a fit we will let you know. If you are not a good fit for the position you are interested in we will let you know. If you are a better fit for a different position we have we will share that opportunity with you. Whether it is the initial interview, during detailed screening, salary or transition negotiations we will give it to you straight.
Competitive Edge. There are many advantages of utilizing the expertise and representation that RJ & Makay® offers you. We do not get paid by the firm that hires you unless you get hired. Through our initial and ongoing consulting process, interview preparation guides, and utilizing the strong relationships we have with the hiring managers we give you a much stronger competitive edge over other people interviewing for the same position without an agent or through a different recruiting firm.
