Having an extensive background in the consulting/staffing industry, we have
  seen the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of the business as it pertains to
  dealing with candidates.  Professionals seeking help with their careers need
  honesty and integrity from a relationship with a recruiter. When presenting
  a candidate to our client, we will keep them informed, and will deliver
  both the positive and negative news a quickly as possible.  Being direct can be
  difficult, especially if we need to communicate shortcomings or lack of skill or
  experiences that our clients are seeking, but we deem this to be in the
  candidate's best interest in order to properly manage their search.
  Anybody can deliver good news.  We differentiate ourselves by our willingness
  to tell candidates what they need to hear in order for them to understand
  what  the marketplace is thinking about them and how to better position 
  themselves for success.
