Who We Are Looking For

We look for five major characteristics in Connectsm employees:

  • Aptitude: Marketing and PR requires certain core skills. Some are obvious — people skills, the ability to write, being articulate. Some are more subtle — attention to detail, organization, and an analytical mind. The truth is that most people just aren’t cut out to be marketing professionals. That’s why we interview more than 20 prospects for every candidate we hire.
  • Experience: Nothing trumps experience. Whether it is experience with social media, creating content or building relationships — knowing who to contact, what to say and how to say it is invaluable. If you are new to the industry, you need to have the drive and ability to develop and cultivate these skills.
  • Accountability: Being accountable is one of the fastest ways to earn respect and trust. At Connectsm we make it simple: We do what we say we are going to do, and we look for individuals who are accountable for their results.
  • Proactivity: Connectsm’s account managers drive their accounts based on their experience and expertise. Our employees know what our clients need before they ask for it.
  • Passion: Successful people get results because they love what they do. We look for individuals who are passionate about what they do and love making a difference through hard work.
