“I can’t thank Jane enough. Her database has helped many of my clients find new jobs. It is a fantastic way to network and make new connections, especially for those who wouldn’t normally have access to recruiters. Jane is wonderful to work with and very helpful. She truly has the jobseekers interest in mind. I am very grateful to Jane and her program.” April 3, 2011

Thank you to John Brubaker, owner of Professional Resume Plus, LLC who recently added this recommendation on my Linkedin profile.
“Custom Databanks has been the exclusive provider for executive search firm and venture capital firm databases for Professional Resume Plus, LLC for the past fifteen years. These products allows our company to provide our clients with precisely targeted contact lists of recruiters and venture capitalists, based on the clients background and search requirements.
These databases have given our business a vital dimension of value-added service to our clients. I have no idea how many of our clients have secured career-defining jobs through the use of these databases, but it is a large number. Some of the individual success stories are simply inspiring. I think of the executive who had spent two years on assignment in Europe, returned to Connecticut, and had a dream of relocating his family back to his native mid-west. He landed his dream job through a contact supplied to us by Custom Databanks.
These databases also give clients who may be fearful about beginning a job search a sense of empowerment, and often some early momentum in their searches. I cannot imagine Professional Resume Plus, LLC not having this resource as a part of our business.
Driving all of this is Jane Lockshin, who has been for more than a decade a delight to work with. Prompt. Courteous. Professional. A business woman of great integrity and ability. Her vision for her products and the outstanding execution of that vision makes Custom Databanks the best in their business.
It is a wonderful thing in business to not only have a “vendor” but a real strategic partner who helps us achieve our goals through greater service to our clients. I could not recommend Jane or Custom Databanks products highly enough.

Rebecca Stokes, President of The Advantage, Inc. recently worked with a Senior Purchasing & Supply Chain Executive. The target audience was 500 Executive Recruiters in his industry and position specialties. Here’s what she told us:
“Within 24 hours, 45 recruiters acknowledged receipt of the documents. 10 Recruiters followed up with him immediately including four phone calls. He talked with two Managing Partners from Russell Reynolds who were supply chain specialists and sent information on three different positions – letting the client chose which one(s) he was most interested in!
Overall, the client had a 25%+ return rate within one week on a distribution method that was approximately 1/3 the cost of traditional print mail.”
Becky also told us about a 1000 piece email campaign to Executive Recruiters for a Senior Finance Executive:
“My client wanted the ‘mass mail’ effect without the cost. That is what sold him on the service. However, the response was what surprised him. Out of the transmission, there were 300+ instant replies, numerous phone calls and 25 job opportunities, all within the first 24 hours. My client told me he should have taken the day off from work to field all of the responses!“

Wow! I just used your e-mail distribution service for one client who was so thrilled with the results she recommended it to a friend who is also searching and the friend called me up immediately. We finished e-mailing hers and within 24 hours she was getting responses.
This is absolutely one of the easiest to sell, fastest to deliver and most profitable add-on services I could offer my clients. The data is clean and reliable and clients get IMMEDIATE feedback. Not only are my clients thrilled with the service, but I love it. I can do the e-mail distribution myself and sell the services directly or just send the information in and YourMissingLink will handle it all.
Thank you so much for developing this wonderful addition to my business!

Laurie Smith, President of Creative Keystrokes recently sent out 153 emails to recruiters for a client who is a direct mail marketer. Laurie emailed us the following message:
“Early results were good. After the first batch of 58, I received a call from my client about 45 minutes later saying he guessed I must’ve done his mailing because he’d already received 7 requests for more information.”
In her email the next day, Laurie wrote:
“Just got more feedback – he’s had 4 more calls today, 2 of them “hot prospects.”
Then 2 weeks later, Laurie wrote:
“My client got back to me and said he’s had quite a few nibbles and some good bites from the emailing we did.”

“My client is located in Dallas and was looking for a senior level position (Director of Operations) in either Dallas or Denver. I obtained a targeted email list for the states of Texas and Colorado and after sending out the email campaign my client received many phone calls and communications and was able to set up several interviews. It only took two weeks for my client to be offered a new job. That’s pretty quick turnaround if you ask me! While my client’s situation may not be typical I feel strongly that with the right resume and targeted email campaign that others could obtain the same quick results.”
