GOT QUESTIONS??
“What is a headhunter/technical recruiter??”
In very simple terms…Sky Firm does with Technology Executives, what real estate agents do with houses. Another way to put it…is we are like Hollywood agents, but for professionals in the Technology industry. We do our business on a global scale from Knoxville. And, at the end of the day, we broker the most valuable asset to any company on the face of the planet…their human capital! If you don’t have great people, you don’t have a great company! At Sky Firm, we put the right people with the right companies and have a lot of fun doing it!!

“So you’re a staffing service?”
Sort of…but not really. If your local staffing service is like a “bass fisherman,” the recruiters at Sky Firm are like “deep sea fisherman for Great White Sharks!” We hunt the big game. The professionals we place into Public & Private, Fortune 500 & 1000 companies make six figure base salaries.

What kind of money do technical recruiters make at Sky Firm?
Good money, VERY GOOD MONEY! Sky Firm is the only company in Knoxville (that we know of), where an individual can make a six figure salary, with no previous experience and no college diploma….IN THE FIRST YEAR!
Did you know?
Did you know that the average salary for a male in the US (whether you’re 22 or 85), with a college diploma, is about 63k a year? The median income for all male full-time workers in Knoxville is $32,279 and the median income for all female full-time workers in Knoxville is $27,991. How would you like to make double to triple that amount in your FIRST YEAR? (In 2010, we had first year recruiters make more than $25,000….IN ONE MONTH!)
“Anything else I should know?”

“Why isn’t everyone doing this? It sounds too good to be true. So what’s the catch?”
The catch is…this is not a J.O.B. = “Just Over Broke.” This is a “Career Opportunity.” Meaning…the more you learn, the better you can get, the more you can understand about the technologies you are working with and the better salesperson you can be…the better you will do! It’s not easy…but the best things in life never are. You need to equate this position & opportunity to being a “Stock Broker” or “Sports and/or Hollywood Agent.” This is hardly a role you will master in a month or two (and most recruiters are easily a rookie through their first year). The expectations on our recruiters are very high, the competition is fierce and there is a lot to be good at! But, for those who can hack it, who have the drive & determination to be successful…the monetary rewards are tremendous!
