HR Management : The Sixth Degree Recruiting
Company
Steve Carubba has worked extensively in the advertising community for companies such as FCB Reynolds, Roche Macaulay and was with Ogilvy & Mather for over seven years before starting his own recruiting agency for the marketing industry in 1998 called Six Degrees Recruiting Inc. His company primarily focused on senior management employees.

Objective
Existing Internet employment services lacked the relevant focus to help marketing candidates and marketing employers find a compatible match or lead. In addition, the existing physical recruiting agencies paid little attention to junior and mid-level employees as the revenues were not as lucrative as recruiting senior management.
The objective was to create a resource center where junior to mid-level candidates and marketing agencies could find the information and tools they need to not only find the appropriate match but also to understand the market-place.

Solution
The site provides the ability for employers and candidates to post and edit their respective information and query the database using multiple search variables in order to make the process as convenient and personalized in finding the appropriate match. The site creates further relevant utility through relational tools, such as allowing people to nominate acquaintances for positions as well as offering a mentor program in the first phase of the site’s development. By creating an extensive back-end to monitor usage patterns, the site can evolve its offering in a valuable manner to both employers and candidates. By making it fully e-commerce enabled, it makes it self-sufficient.
