Interview of Bill Kurtz, Sr. Staffing Consultant at NET by Cynthia Typaldos, Manager of SPM Jobs
 
Cynthia: Bill, this is a great job posting in terms of the company and position description, but add some more details? Most of the Job Seeker members of SPM Jobs already have satisfying jobs. What would entice one of them to apply for your job opening?
 
Bill: NET is a 20 year old company with startup attitude. We are going head-to-head with Cisco and achieving record revenues. This product line, the NX5000, is undergoing constant rapid innovation by adding and incorporating state of the art features such as unified messaging, VOIP, etc. The constant rapid evolution of our products makes for an exciting environment – NET is not a staid run-of-the-mill workplace even though we are, at the same time, a very respected and established company. Our technology is second-to-none.
 
Cynthia: Tell us a bit about the group that this person would be in.
 
Bill: There are currently 7 people in the group who would be peers to this Sr. Product Line Manager. The group head is a Director. The new person would have full responsibility for the NX5010ae product line and others as they evolve.
 
Cynthia: How about compensation?
 
Bill: The compensation will be based on the overall experience of the person who is offered the job. While I have put some guidelines as to the level and type of experience we are looking for, each candidate is unique and we would base an offer around that.
