Yes. All information remains confidential, and TRU does not submit your resume to a client without your express permission.

Contract positions traditionally help you bridge a gap in full-time employment, gain valuable work experience, and “get your foot in the door” of a company. For TRU contractors, contracting has become a professional pathway to higher salary, while working on challenging privacy, ediscovery, and cybersecurity projects. For more on this, check out our Contract Staffing page.

TRU preps all of our candidates and clients before every interview. Our depth of knowledge about the hiring company, hiring manager, and role you seek takes the guesswork out of the interviewing process and how to best position yourself to get the job. Past that — TRU resumes get reviewed by our clients before any online portal submissions.

We strongly encourage clients who are hiring to work with TRU exclusively. TRU offers predictable and discounted pricing for clients who work with TRU and only TRU. For job seekers, we do not expect exclusivity, though we do encourage it. Candidates who work with us exclusively get priority. We are confident that you will find our style of representation to be so superior that you won't want to work with anyone else. However, if you are working with someone else, it is essential that you know where they've submitted you as we are not able to represent you anywhere you’ve been submitted recently. 

We prefer to communicate via personal cell phone and email, and so should you. We do not want to expose your job search to your current employer by calling and emailing you at work. If you cannot check personal email during business hours, or do not get cell reception in your office, let us know and we will devise a mutually agreeable process for communication.

Don’t self-submit without checking with us first. Typically, we have direct relationships with hiring managers that can get you to the front of the line faster than if you were to self-submit. If we don’t have those relationships, we will let you know right away.

Do not contact the company directly other than to send a thank you after your interview. Your contact with the prospective employer should be through your TRU representative unless otherwise directed.

Each week we send out a Hot Jobs newsletter detailing new additions to our job listings. TRU typically maintains more than 200 active openings globally with a constantly evolving portfolio of clientele. We are always proactively looking for the best fit for you, but Hot Jobs can help you understand the market and what opportunities are available. We have found that the Hot Jobs are particularly helpful for candidates looking to relocate to atypical geographic markets. Subscribe here.

If you are a candidate looking for representation, the fastest way to contact an agent at TRU is to apply for any of our TRU Hot Jobs that interest you! You can also contact a recruiter directly or fill out an application. If you are a client looking to hire, please submit a talent request form.

We will edit your resume for spelling and grammar, and add a TRU header so that potential employers know who represents you. We ask that you always take your TRU resume with you on interviews for consistency.

Once an offer is extended, you will need three professional references that you can provide. Ideally, two references are from former supervisors. Have the names, emails, titles, relationship to you, and phone numbers for these references ready at all times before you start interviewing. Save peers for optional references. Do not use anyone from your current employer as a reference, since references will be checked before you give notice. If one of our clients requires a supervisory reference from your current employer, we always negotiate that those references are only checked after an offer has been extended and accepted and you have cleared all other background and reference checks. 

Prepare for degree verification. This can be time-consuming if you don’t have the right records. Make sure you have a copy of your diploma and college transcript available. Get in touch with the Bursar's office at your university if you do not have these documents.

This first call will usually last 20-30 minutes. Your agent will flesh out the details of your career experience and aspirations so that they can find the perfect fit within our available job openings. This person will be your primary point of contact throughout the interview process for preps, debriefs, placement resolution, and salary negotiation.

One of the major benefits of working with TRU is that a TRU representative will prep you for every interview you go on. During these preps, we'll cover:

• The company and the people at the company who'll interview you.
• Questions you can expect to be asked at the interview.
• Advice on fielding challenging questions
• How to handle salary questions.
• What to wear.

Schedule these prep meetings in a place where you can talk freely, take notes, have access to the internet, and be heard clearly.

These preparation calls can be challenging, as we will be expecting you to answer some questions as if you were on an interview. We have found that the more sincerely candidates take these prep meetings, the better the interviews go. Our clients have also come to expect that a TRU candidate has been prepped thoroughly before an interview. Our goal is to ensure you meet their expectations and that you have done the appropriate homework. A successful interview is not about what you know, but rather your ability to articulate what you've done. We want to bring out the best in you prior to your interview.
