Jeff has his Master’s degree from Fordham University and post-graduate training at the Institute of Modern Psychoanalysis (IMP), where he developed an expertise in organizational development that makes him uniquely qualified to evaluate a potential employee for their “fit” into an organization.

"Leaders and their staff shape the success of an organization. I understand how important it is for a firm to hire a whole person who fits into their culture and can deliver, not just a person who acts like a machine that can execute tasks."

"One of my strengths is working with clients who afford me the opportunity to partner with them in order to understand what their culture is like. When this happens, we as an organization can deliver extraordinary results.”

Jeff Altman has more than thirty years of experience in technology search and joined Concepts in Staffing in March, 2002 after more than six extremely successful years with another New York-based search firm. Throughout his career, he has developed and managed client relationships, internal recruiting staff and successfully completed numerous engagements.

"Job boards have replaced newspapers for do-it-yourselfers who believe quantity equals quality. Try sifting through useless resume after useless resume when you could be talking to a professionally evaluated person (or spending time with your family!) and you'll understand that a competent search professional is worth its fee. I am a CPC (The Certified Personnel Consultant designation is awarded National Association of Personnel Services to professionals who are able to meet rigorous standards), and an MSW."

"I understand the importance of both effectiveness AND ethical conduct when working with individuals and institutional clients."

"Most firms don't know how to assess a recruiter's capabilities and, too often, contribute to the waste that much of the search process becomes. I've developed an extremely effective recruiting methodology that helps to narrow the focus of referrals and dramatically improves interview-to-hire ratios."

Jeff is also co-founder of Your Next Job, a networking group focused on assisting technology professionals with their job search, a certified leader of the ManKind Project, a not for profit organization that assists men with life issues, a practicing psychotherapist with a successful practice in New York, a husband, and a father of a terrific little boy named Jack. His articles about job hunting are published on his blog and on www.alumbo.com. He is also an Expert author on www.ezinearticles.com.

"The common thread of my life is encouraging and supporting people. Whether it's my work in search, as a therapist, a leader, a husband and father, I try to assist individuals and organizations prosper."
