What makes CGC the leader in the industry?
Our business model is unique in the industry because our overarching focus is on results, which translates into 85% to 90% of our clients landing equivalent or better jobs more quickly. Challenger clients find new jobs in a median time of 3.2 months, compared with about a 5-month national average as cited by The Wall Street Journal.
Challenger's sustained success with clients is directly attributable to our client service model. We understand that each individual has unique needs and interests. We also understand that our most powerful driver to success derives from the one-on-one counseling and advisory Challenger provides each client. We approach each client as a business partner, and together we set goals and objectives, with time lines and deliverables which are monitored each week, sometimes daily, to ensure results. Our focus is on quality and results, and our full-time certified counselors are rewarded for the outstanding results they provide for each and every client.
Respected media such as The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News and World Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN Broadcasting Network plus many others routinely seek out Challenger for definitive comments about employment and economic trends, industry trends around down sizing and outplacement, and job growth because they acknowledge Challenger as a prime source of reliable information.
