PRESENTATION LAYOUT
Purpose

A look at a few target companies
Conclusion and questions?
PURPOSE
Recent research conducted by myself in response to a request made by supervisor William James has resulted in different findings as it relates to companies listed on “The Fortune 100 Top Companies to Work For” and I would like to share them. The results of this study will serve as grounds for either deciding for or against building relationships with companies on the list. Here at James Inc. we specialize in finding jobs for clients. One of our best client pool comes from recent Saint Leo University Alumni and this study used them as the focus group.
Will It Help Us Better Service The Clients
What the clients are looking for are healthy work environments
What the firms are looking for are diverse and well trained talent that have the skills to succeed
We here at the agency preach that the client comes first so if the relationships we can build help us, help them it’s a no brainer
Will It Help Us Better Service The Clients
What are companies looking for in new employees?
WHO ARE WE TRYING TO FILL POSITIONS WITH?
Saint Leo University alumni come to us as versatile and very ambitious future members of the workforce
Any one of over 50 different majors that the university offers gives us the ability to slot these graduates in many different positions
Many of the alumnus are adult learners who have dedicated themselves to furthering their education
TARGET COMPANIES AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN
Fortune carefully selects the 100 best companies to work for annually in the U.S.
Very stringent and trustworthy method of choosing has them as a reliable source for the information
Focus was on the three states where Saint Leo has the biggest alumni population and the companies that made the list in those states
12 different companies were used as targets for this study and if we as
agency move forward we need to focus on these 12 companies that
are located in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia.
Florida Based
-Baptist Health Care
-JM Family Enterprises
-Publix
Virginia Based:
-Booz Allen Hamilton
-CarMax
-SRA International
Georgia Based:
-AFLAC -Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta
-Memorial Health
-Synovus
-Homebanc Mortgage
-Alston & Bird
Many different fields of study that Saint Leo
University offers fit well in these companies.
-Business, Management, Marketing and Related Support Services
-Health Professions and Related Programs
-Psychology
-Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and Fitness Studies
-Public Administration and Social Services
-Mathematics and Statistics
-Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Firefighting, or Related Protective Services
And Many More….
CONCLUSION
In my opinion and using the research from the studies I’ve conducted I think it is highly beneficial to us as an agency to build relationships with the companies I referenced. Although we will not focus exclusively on these companies these companies have proven to provide top notch working conditions and that is what we want to provide our clients with.
