Another thing, could you please tell us more about your company, what exactly the job entails. That sort of stuff.

Thanks,
Chris

P.S. I love your last name!

[Jeff Rambo]

Chris,

Please feel free to e-mail me at jeff.rambo@rhhllp.com. We can discuss specifics more so via that route.

Thanks for the compliment on the last name, assuming you were being sincere; I've caught a lot of heat for it over the years. Take care.

Cdudeuk18,

Thank you for editing your post, I appreciate it. I've also edited the whois information. It completely slipped my mind. Thankfully you exploited the issue.

I'm due in with a client in 10 minutes, but will try to address the other questions here and via e-mail afterwards.

Thanks for the responses so far.

Would an Alex Kelm company have perfect non-M$ Word grammar and spelling? Consider that. ;)

I'd sign up, but I'm too busy as a student ATM, perhaps this summer I'll consider it. Can people work over the net, as I am on the east coast? :confused:

[Pimpin Monkey]

I'm interested in any positions, as in Support. I live in the Mid-West Region (Colorado). Please let me know a little more of what you are looking for please.

[Jeff Rambo]

First off, I apologize for the long delay in responding to all of you. We've been quite busy over the last week with working on our structure as well as our firm intranet.

I'd like to thank all of you for your interest in the firm. If the interest is truly sincere, here are a few aspects of our firm that I think will help either of you in making the decision to join us. Just to be upfront, this is a copied response I sent to someone who e-mailed me regarding a position with us. I've edited out specific portions of it so it addresses everything in more of a general manner. For those of you who are interested after reading through the post, e-mail me regarding any of the positions I listed in my first post (I've edited out the ones we no longer have a need for) that you may have interest in and I can discuss in detail what the duties and functions will be. It's too much to list each of the duties & functions for every position on the forum here which is why I prefer the e-mail route.
-------------------------------------------------------

In the eyes of others, rightfully so, we are a consulting start-up; an independent one at that. Furthermore, this would be a telecommuting position for the most part, as we are a "virtual firm" in a certain sense. It is important that you don't let this negatively influence your decision. The business relationship between myself, Matt Harrington, and Josh Hopkins has been in existence since 1998. We've not only planted and grown a successful business bond, but a personal bond that is valued more so, as it adds depth to the chemistry needed for us to succeed. This is the same type of bond we wish to establish with the new colleagues we seek to add to our firm, as it will be the only way we can succeed. Both, within the firm internally, and externally with providing clients results.

You may ask why would we put someone in a position that they may be capable of, but they have no working experience in instead of filling it with someone who has held it in the past that we know is capable and qualified. The answer is simple, and it has nothing to do with cutting costs. It boils down to the fact that we aren't looking for individuals with resumes the size of dossiers that could command a position anywhere within the firm. We're looking for individuals that may not have experience, but have a willingness to expand on a certain knowledge of either a single business sector or multiple business sectors that we feel are confident, competent, and capable of fitting into any role within our firm and learning the functions of that role from top to bottom. In other words, we're not looking to avoid growing pains, we're look to begin them as a team.

You may have also noticed that I stated our compensation packages are based on commissions & bonuses. I hope that this also does not negatively influence you in making a decision to join us, but hopefully you will see the reasoning behind it more so as I'll explain that now. We're not only looking for team players, we're looking for motivated players. Too many firms go wrong with putting their staff on salary right out of the gate and even more firms go wrong by offering both salary & commissions/bonuses. The reason I regard this as being a fault is due to the fact that I've seen many individuals within consultancies take advantage of being on salary. Such instances as waiting until the last minute to finish projects to do about other activities on their own accord, not working to full potential on projects as they don't have to worry about being paid, or cutting costs to take in more compensation from the account which basically leads to the client being taken to the bank x2. While such individuals may be regarded as every firms 10%, we still wish to disregard the worries of this 10% all together. To do so, the model that we've implemented in our firm is that EVERYONE (regardless of position (i.e. myself), as everyone plays a part in any client that opens an account with us) is compensated based on commission/bonus. With this factor in play, it is no question that projects will be on par with timeliness, efficiency, logistics, and most of all quality. This all revolves around that fact that everyone realizes no work equates to no pay.

The downfall to this is you're thinking that the commission rates won't be too high. Not true at all, for two reasons. The first reason is our firm mission, which is to provide the direction our clients require to make distinctive, lasting, and profitable improvements in their performance and to build a great firm that is able to attract, develop, reward, and retain extraordinary people. Place your emphasis on the first part of that mission. This is the mindset we will take pride in instilling into our clients, therefore we're able to charge premium account fees. Thus in conclusion, large commission amounts amongst the client project team. Please take the assurance of knowing now, that one of the main assets to our company will be our skilled Marketing Directors and our Operations & Affairs Directors. It will be their sole purpose to attract and retain these clients, thus keeping everyone busy and handsomely rewarded.

Secondly: We have no aspirations of becoming a large firm when it comes to size. Firms such as Bain or Andersen boast about how they have thousands of employees. Great for them. We do not have a need for 10 people humping a couch up a flight of stairs when all it takes is 2, therefore we won't have 10 people taking the credit. We'll sleep more peacefully at night knowing we have a platoon of hard charges who are willing, able, and ready to do their job at a moments notice. The conclusion to my reasoning being: you won't have to worry about splitting your commission amongst 100 individuals as our client project teams are small with each team member serving (a) specific role(s)/function(s), which measures his/her compensation amount.

Most would regard this as simply contracting employees, and to be honest, if I weren't aware of our firm structure I would regard it as the same. But the truth is our people will be just that, our people. They'll be treated as equals and assuming that they will be there for us, we will be there for them. As I said above, this portion of our internal business model is not to cut costs but to ensure productivity within our firm and to ensure the promises we make to our clients. Without getting into the math involved, it also allows us to reward our people more so than we would be able to if they were employed on salary.

This mindset works well not only for us, but it works well for our clients as well, as they have the peace of mind they're receiving the utmost quality in their results.

I'd like to go on to say that we are a meritocracy in the sense that those who are qualified and capable are able to serve roles within our firm and advance ahead. Other firms fall short when they state they are a meritocracy, as it simply means they hire and advance based on the intellectual criteria of a person as per their enrollment in a Ivy league university. Even worse, the "Old Boy Network" equates to hiring & advancement. Put simply, we hire base on what you're qualified to do and what you're capable of, not what you've done or who you are. Therefore, neither vast industry experience nor a degree is required.

As I mentioned above, this a company structured on the telecommuting method. We plan to enter into engagements with clients around the world, therefore we plan to enter into bonds with colleagues around the world. In today's time, a corporate office with a full-line of employees running around isn't required. While it would have been no major hassle for myself, Matt, and Josh to embark on a venture that would have saw us opening up regional offices throughout the CONUS or a HQ office here in L.A., we elected to establish our firm as a telecommuting company, or in modern lingo: a virtual company. True, it saves a lot of costs. But it also provides a lot of obvious benefits, internally and externally. Between such communication solutions as e-mail, phone, video conferencing, and traveling (when needed, from firm traveling expenses), we will do just fine as a firm with its staff based throughout the world.
-----------------------------------------

Updates on our communication methods:
We are in the process of installing an intranet that will be a big plus to communicating with the staff and making sure everyone is in sync. It'll include to-do's, memo's, webmail, calendar, contacts, projects, a forum and a few other features. We're also going to add a file depository/database to it somehow so everyone can be on the same track with documents.

During the initial process, all staff will be issued a voicemail extension box on a toll-free #. Once things pan out, we're switching to a Virtual Office/PBX solution that will offer you an extension off of our main company number. The extension will be both, a direct voice line to you and a voicemail box when you are not available. ETA on the switch is 30-60 days.

ETA on the nextel offering is 60-90 days from the above timeframe.
