Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe: Finding Great Talent is No Easy Task
As the Chief of People & Culture at T2 Group, I oversee our hiring and onboarding processes. We’ve been on a hiring spree lately, thanks to new clients and a growing list of upcoming projects. With so many applicants—some excellent, some less so—I’d like to share a few tips to help candidates stand out and land their next career opportunity.
Details matter, and small gestures can make a big impact. After an interview, send a thank-you note. Email is quick and efficient, but a handwritten note can leave a memorable impression.
Attention to detail extends to your work ethic as well. It tells me you’ll take the time to ensure high-quality work for our clients. Double-check your resume for spelling or grammatical errors—these are major red flags. Have a friend review your resume before you send it out to avoid simple mistakes.
2. Put Your Best Foot Forward
Your resume is our first impression of you, so make sure it’s polished and professional. Spelling mistakes, sloppy formatting, and irrelevant experience can leave a poor impression.
The second impression is your in-person interview. As consultants, presentation is key since you’ll be engaging with our clients. Get a good night’s sleep, have a healthy breakfast, and make sure your outfit is neat and professional.
3. Know the Basics About Our Company
It’s surprising how many candidates come into an interview without knowing much about what we do. We don’t expect you to be an expert, but a basic understanding of our services, our clients, and what makes T2 Group unique goes a long way. If you have questions, ask! We value curiosity and a desire to learn more.
4. Be Genuine
“Don’t try to fool a professional.” I may have a good poker face, but I’m not interested in games. Be authentic. We want to get to know the real you—your personality, your skills, and what you’re passionate about. Our goal is to find the right fit for both you and the company.
As a consulting firm, honesty, reliability, and trustworthiness are absolutely essential. We’re a small but powerful team, competing with the best and delivering top-tier solutions for our clients.
We offer numerous opportunities to grow your career—whether you’re an engineer, project manager, or an executive. Even if your dream job isn’t listed on our careers page, reach out! We’re always on the lookout for outstanding people and exceptional talent.
Let’s build something great together.
