global executive recruiters

As employees begin to come out of the stay at home order and return to the office, what can Signature Source do for you?

Signature Source is here for you and your team members. A few of our clients are beginning to have their employees return to their physical offices in various phases while others are continuing to remain in virtual. In any of the various scenarios, we wanted to share with you that Signature Source has the ability to assist you by offering the viable solutions:

COVID-19 Outplacement Services – Unfortunately, this pandemic has forced the hands of many leaders to make both structural and talent adjustments that go beyond the normal review of full-time headcount reviews. At Signature Source, we are able to provide outplacement services for either key positions or a group of employees affected by the organizational changes. We work with our clients to create a customized outplacement solution to ease in the transition of their employees within the Global Mobility Industry or based upon the employee’s career goal, transition to a different industry with coaching sessions, resume creation, or career repositioning and the distribution of proprietary Signature Source Career Tools.

Contingent Workforce Solutions – Many of our clients have expressed concern about furloughed employees not returning to the organization. There are many reasons for this, but the workflow and needs of the customers still must be met. Signature Source has candidates that are willing to work for a month or longer as independent contractors to help with special projects and/or to assist in numerous ways based on the candidate’s experience in the industry.

Compensation Consulting Solutions – With an applicant database of over 15,000 relocation professionals around the globe, we can help you evaluate the competitiveness of your compensation in a specific geographic area as well as the functional strategy and planning for adding talent.

Confidential Succession Planning – The pandemic has us looking at so many deliverables in our business differently, including planning for leadership that may retire or identifying new talent at the leadership level due to a restructuring of the company. Signature Source can confidentially and respectfully assist you in your succession planning process.

Today we’re delighted to announce the launch of our newly revamped mobile-friendly Career Center on our website. After five months of hard work and dedication, we’re ready to share this new and exciting part of Signature Source. As more and more people use their phones to access the internet and job hunt, we wanted to create a place where candidates could easily learn about available positions and experience a streamlined navigation and application process via a mobile platform. We structured the site so all the useful information is in one place for a “one stop shop” type experience. The Career Center page has a new design and colors that reflect the general Signature Source palette, making for cohesive branding.

With that being said, we’ve made the Career Center page a more user-friendly experience, not just for mobile phones, but also for desktops and laptops. There are several new features that we’re especially thrilled about:

One time upload of your resume into our system. Have you ever become frustrated with applications where you had to keep uploading your resume over and over again? With Signature Source’s Career Center, you just upload your resume into the site once and you’re set.
Customized job alerts and the ability to easily apply to positions of interest. In the Career Center, you can customize the alerts you get for specific jobs (e.g. marketing or office management).
Resume tips. In the Career Center, you’ll be able to access tips on how to make your resume stand out to a recruiter.
Mobile and tablet friendly. The Career Center site is now mobile and tablet friendly, so you can easily work on your job search from the comfort of your phone or tablet.
Reduces the amount of time spent searching through potential jobs and applying to them. Thanks to the customized job alerts and being able to upload your resume into the system, you won’t spend hours on end sifting through jobs that may or may not pan out. Since your resume is already uploaded to the Career Center, you can easily include it in the job you’re applying for.

Island Dolphin Care

Jean Strickland, owner of Signature Source, knew she wanted Signature Source to support Island Dolphin Care after seeing a special on the Today show. She visited with the founders of Dolphin Island Care, Deena and Peter Hoagland, and after learning about how they initially formed Island Dolphin Care for their son, Joe, in 1997 there was no doubt in her mind that Signature Source would provide support for the organization.

Island Dolphin Care is a unique not-for-profit organization that provides animal-assisted (dolphin), therapeutic, motivational, and educational therapy programs to children, adults with special needs, and their families and caregivers. Through these interactive programs, education, and research, participants are inspired to value and respect marine mammals and their environment.

“After visiting Island Dolphin Care, meeting the dolphins, and learning more about their mission to inspire hope for those facing life’s inexplicable challenges, a commitment to support Island Dolphin Care was obvious,” said Strickland. “Signature Source has provided support through annual donations and quarterly support for Island Dolphin Care’s Customer Management System for over 16 years now,” she said.

There are currently eight dolphins at Island Dolphin Care, where they live in the warm ocean waters of Key Largo, Florida and experience zero exploitation e.g. dolphin shows or other displays of animal-driven entertainment. The dolphins are part of Island Dolphin Care’s various programs, which include therapies for people with autism, developmental disabilities, and veterans; experiences such as dolphin yoga, painting with dolphins, and dolphin floats; and educational opportunities including internships, research help, field trips, and marine science education programs.

So what can you do to help? You can donate your money to Island Dolphin Care here, which will go towards providing the ongoing care required to sustain the stability of the dolphins throughout the course of their lives, as well as continuing to provide families with an experience they will cherish forever. The dolphins at Island Dolphin Care eat up to 200 pounds of fish daily, so a $35 donation will provide one bucket of fish for a dolphin. Because the dolphins have been raised in captivity, it would be irresponsible to return them back to the wild as they have not learned the skills to survive in that kind of environment, thus, they need to have the care and maintenance provided at Island Dolphin Care.

In addition, you can shop for Island Dolphin Care gear, such as shirts and water bottles, or purchase gift cards or dolphin experience gift certificates.

You can learn more about Island Dolphin Care on their website and get the word out by sharing from the Island Dolphin Care’s social media platforms, which include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube.
