Company Analysis

Compare Companies :

Every company wants to hire people that have taken the time to learn about the company and the requirements of the position. To successfully do this you must analyze the industry and find out everything you can about possible employers. In addition you must have a concrete grasp of the differences and similarities between companies to persuade interviewers that you have done your research. The more knowledgeable you are about the position, the more attractive you will be to an employer. The less you know about a company and the job requirements the less attractive you will be. When comparing companies keep in consideration:

  • What are the companies recruiting objectives?
  • How large or small is the company?
  • What is the company’s reputation in its industry?
  • Who are the company’s clients
  • What products or services does the company have to offer?

Does Size Matter

 Larger organizations offer better benefits. In a larger organization there should be more employees therefore there is more competition. Within a smaller organization there are far more opportunities for advancement.

Recruiting Objectives

 Within the same industry companies have several different recruiting objectives.   Several organizations deal with identical types of products and services but differences always exist. This has a great influence upon the corporate culture and staffing requirements. It is achievable to shape your presentation to address companies with differing requirements but denying your preferences to gain employment is short sighted and risky. Find out:
    • Do they promote from within?
    • Do they hire individuals based on their abilities?
