Pros
DaVinciTek stands apart in an industry with a poor reputation.
"Recruiter" often mean under-trained sales person looking to skim money to make a living.
After years at such a firm I can appreciate the value of conducting business in an ethical way.
The people working at DaVinciTek are highly skilled and honest.
Everyone has a sense that they are part of the companies larger goals and not just a cog in a wheel that's being driven into the ground.
Compensation is fair.
Employees are treated with respect.
Candidates are not mislead or underpaid to make a quick buck.
Admittedly; I'm a bit of an idealist, but, in a business where relationships are your life-blood, DaVinciTek makes sure it does right by people. "Do the right thing and good things will happen."
Cons
All of the positives of an Executive Search firm come with challenges.
The work will never be as easy as a high volume, low quality staffing company.
You don't household brand name to cover-up for a lack of people skills or industry knowledge.
It takes emotional intelligence and an autodidactic nature to succeed but the people and environment make that easy do develop if you've got the interest and aptitude.
