As Professional Engineers, we are mandated by statute to maintain certain professional standards and ethics to protect the integrity of our profession and the common welfare. The same can be said for Registered Geologists, Land Surveyors, Certified Hazardous Material Managers, or whatever professional registration you have. That same sense of professional integrity and ethics is what drove me to work as a search and placement professional at the Double Eagle Group in Minneapolis. In addition, our internal processes hold us to a higher standard than others in the search & placement industry. So, although the type of work I do now is different, it still involves being able to utilize my knowledge of the industry and my contacts to help client’s solve problems. That’s really what it comes down to – helping companies solve problems.
What I have experienced in 23 years as a Consulting Engineer, is the same thing that I am experiencing now as a search & placement professional. That companies (or clients) with a high degree of professionalism are much easier to work with, they’re easier to help. Why? Very simply stated – when you operate in an environment of high standards and ethics, that type of environment breeds trust. Trust then breeds teamwork, and teamwork leads to joint collaboration towards a common goal. Without this basis of professionalism, ethics, and high standards – being able to truly help your client becomes difficult.
