Endeavor Success Story: Case Study
Learn how a chemical manufacturing general manager landed a role with a private equity backed company by partnering with Endeavor Agency
Executive Job Search Situation Overview
A female executive with deep experience in the chemical industry was downsized by her previous organization. She had a long and successful career in the industry after working for several of the biggest organizations. Her family was firmly situated in the current city and she preferred not to relocate to avoid disrupting their lives.
CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME IN CLIENT'S EXECUTIVE JOB SEARCH
Prior to signing on as a client of Endeavor Agency, this executive had successfully landed several initial interviews with intriguing companies. However, she was not progressing to the later rounds or securing job offers.
She worried she was not advancing in her job search because of her age and also how she was addressing the question of why she left her previous employer after being there for just a few years.
On top of those concerns, her current location was not a major hub for her industry, and she thought she may struggle to find opportunities that would allow her to stay where she was instead of having to relocate and uproot her family to another city.
ENDEAVOR AGENCY ACTION PLAN
After reaching out and becoming a client, our Endeavor Agency crew went to work helping her with her executive job search. We helped her prepare for interviews, in particular helping her address the question of why she left her last organization. After developing good answers, she practiced those answers repeatedly with her agent in mock interviews sessions.
The Endeavor data team helped her identify executive recruiters who focused on her specific areas of interest and developed the verbiage for her to use in reaching out to the recruiters.
Additionally, the Endeavor branding team rebuilt all of her personal marketing materials, including her resume, profile picture, and LinkedIn profile to communicate her value to potential employers more effectively.

RESULTS FOR EXECUTIVE CLIENT
Our client's outreach efforts to executive recruiters paid off. After several months of continuous communication by her and the Endeavor team, she secured an interview with a company that was owned by a private equity (PE) firm. This firm needed an experienced general manager who could hit the ground running in turning around one of their chemical plants. The new manager had the responsibility of hitting the right targets for the plant so the PE firm could achieve a successful exit within two to three years.
The compensation package she secured during negotiations not only exceeded her previous levels but also included a significant upside once the firm exits the business.
