Search Associates...

We had a great experience with Search Associates so we felt compelled to share it.  In signing up with Search Associates, you receive unlimited access to their database and job information for three years.  In addition, you may attend one job fair annually.  these serves are all included for the application fee ($200 at the time we went through it).  If you want to attend an additional fair, it is a minimal cost ($50).  All travel expenses to the fair are absorbed by the candidate, however Search Associates does secure a discounted hotel rates within the hosting hotel.  We found the service and support to be excellent.

After submitting our application, we were contacted by our regional representative Michael Williams.  He introduced us to the search process and welcomed us to the company.  He provided us with his personal contact information so he could help if we had any questions.  He also gave us a quick tutorial on the webstie and things to look for as we did research.  


Search Associate representatives are assigned a region of the US.  Depending on where you live, you will be assigned a representative who will manage your search.  Since we were on the west coast Michael was assigned to use as we were in his territory.  In addition, each search representative also is assigned a region of the world.  The representatives work well together and get you any information about potential schools, even if your representative is not assigned to that region.

The research we did on the different agencies was accurate.  Search Associates is very personable, helpful, and encouraging.  They made us feel welcome and provided enough information to steer us in the right direction.
