What will Mycoff Fry Partners do after receiving my resume?

Mycoff Fry Partners will contact you by phone or email to confirm receipt of your resume. In cases where your background is a fit for an ongoing search assignment, we will outreach to discuss that opportunity in more detail. In cases where an individual’s qualifications or background does not fit our business focus (utility-related positions), we do our best to notify that individual that we are not likely to be a useful resource for their job search.

How does Mycoff Fry Partners communicate with candidates throughout a search process?

We keep candidates updated regularly as search, selection, and interview processes proceed. We also take care to notify unsuccessful applicants appropriately. Certain searches may dictate that we communicate via email due to a large number of applicants. This occurs more often with broadly advertised searches.

Is Mycoff Fry Partners a contingency recruiting firm?

No, we only conduct retained search services for our clients, which allows us to dedicate our full resources to identify and vet qualified individuals with specific qualifications and experience.

How often do you contact individuals in your database?

This will vary depending upon the type of positions we are currently recruiting and a candidate’s geographic and compensation requirements. It is not unusual for us to outreach one to three times per year. However, there may be more quiet periods as we try our best to target appropriate calls to potential candidates.

Does Mycoff Fry Partners recruit for mid-management or individual contributor positions?

Most of our search assignments span the top three tiers of a typical utility’s organizational chart. While we specialize in the executive ranks, we may have appropriate contacts and resources to conduct other senior level roles. We encourage you to outreach to one of our Managing Partners from our Biographies page to get more information about our ability to meet your recruitment needs.

Will Mycoff Fry Partners send my resume without contacting me?

Will Mycoff Fry Partners charge a fee to potential candidates?

No! We are a retained search firm whose clients engage us to conduct nationwide searches and who pay our fees.

Does Mycoff Fry Partners accept un-solicited resumes?

Yes. In the event we do not have an engagement that immediately fits your credentials, it is more than likely that an appropriate search will arise shortly. We encourage potential job seekers to send us updated credentials at any time by clicking on one of our team member’s email addresses, or by sending it to our corporate email account.

Through that service, we utilize retired utility experts and other available executives whose strengths and capabilities can:

• Fill vacant positions during a recruitment process.
• Function in short-term but critical roles.
• Mentor and train existing employees.
