EmploymentScape Is a Research Company—Not a Sales Company
Research That Changes the Lives of Our Clients
EmploymentScape fervently believes that research and its effective application is the most powerful force in everyone's life. Our goal is to bring the power of effective research into the lives of people everywhere. Historically, we have found that the most value for our research is in the career field. Here, we have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world by showing them the opportunities available to them through effective research of the world's job openings—and more.
Collectively, our companies employ several hundred people throughout the world. In every single field we enter, we become the top company in our space within a span of one to two years. This happens regardless of the business we enter, and it occurs as if by natural law. Take a look at just a few of the incredibly successful ventures we've brought to life so far:
- The largest job board in the world based on number of jobs (EmploymentCrossing)
- The largest and most effective law firm placement agency for attorneys in the United States (BCG Attorney Search)
- The largest outplacement firm for attorneys in the United States (Legal Authority)
- The largest student loan company for attorneys in the United States (Law School Loans)
- One of the top originators of student loan consolidations in the United States (EdFed)
- The largest and most popular legal job board in the world (LawCrossing)
- The largest attorney resume company in the world (Attorney Resume)
- The largest search engine for jobs listed on employer websites (as opposed to all jobs) in the world (Hound.com)
And the list goes on and on.
Research has power, and research touches everyone and everything that comes in contact with it. EmploymentCrossing educates its clients with research and looks out for them. We believe that our role in the world serves a purpose that is far greater, and more profound, than that of a company that simply seeks to make money.
A Research Company—Not a Sales Company
We are not a sales organization. Consider:
- We run extremely successful recruiting firms despite the fact that our recruiters do not recruit—and none have sales backgrounds.
- We run numerous job boards despite the fact that we do not even have people in our companies who sell advertisements.
The way we operate is different. It confuses our competitors and invokes rage among those whose ambition is simply to make money—as fast as possible. We are motivated to provide research for (and protect) our clients. When people become our clients, we fight tenaciously to make a major difference in their lives by providing them the most effective and efficient research the market offers.
We Use Research to Protect Every Job Seeker with All Our Might
We believe that it is our responsibility to fervently and aggressively look after the needs of each one of our clients, and we are not afraid to use our research to show our clients what is possible in their lives—what they can achieve if they make the most of their education and prospects. For example, we have helped tens of thousands of our clients claim government student loan interest rate rebates through companies we have set up for this purpose. Collectively, we have saved our clients billions of dollars in interest. In the job-search field, we have touched hundreds of thousands of lives. We really want to make a difference.
Academic, fascinated by ideas, passionate about research and debate, orators, writers, and cutting-edge thinkers—the people who make up EmploymentScape are dedicated to providing their research to the world. EmploymentScape believes that informed research and analysis are the most important components of every important life decision—whether it is looking for a job, financing an education, or working in a particular profession or career.
A Company That Exists for the Individual—Not Big Business
We would be remiss if we did not bring up a final point: EmploymentScape exists for the individual. While EmploymentScape is counted as one of the largest organizations in the world, we are committed to serving the individual at all costs.
We have remained independent and have never taken private money.
We fight for the individuals who do not have access to a complete suite of information to make decisions about their careers and lives.
We have always served the individual and always will. We believe the force of many—whether rich or poor—is far more powerful than the force of a few. We want to be the company our clients can rely on at all stages of their careers.

Do Not Be Controlled By Your Need to Feel Significant
Harrison Barnes
Harrison believes that one of the most important things to any human being is to feel important. We all have the need to feel significant and this need is something that really controls and governs many of our lives. You need to choose how to control your mind. When you are looking for a job, the most important thing you can do is move away from being attached to the need to feel significant and move, instead, to a position where you are not attached.
Being focused on the work is incredibly important. Being focused on your own significance is attachment, and all attachments eventually result in disappointment. People who are focused on the work rise to a higher level while those focused on their own significance never make it.
Â
We all want to feel that we are unique and special in some way. This makes us feel as if we have a purpose and meaning for our lives. One of the largest challenges of our lives is making sure that we do not meet our need to feel significant in a way that is destructive. For example, many people in their need to feel significant will try and be critical of others.
Â
You need to understand that your need to feel significant is something that controls your life. The best thing you can possibly do for your career is detach from this need to feel significant and realize how this is controlling so much of what happens to you. More importantly, you need to do the work you love and live the life you want without being controlled by a need to be significant. This will change everything for you and allow you to contribute to the world in a productive way.

The Importance of Productivity, Focus and Measurement
Harrison Barnes | Dated: 07-02-2009
When I was in school, I would study at least a couple of hours each day in the library. While there, I noticed that the best students were always very focused. They were not distracted like poorer students were. A poor student looks around and looks up frequently. The poor students try to start conversations, make jokes, and laugh at things going on in the library.
When I was studying with the best students, I could feel their energy and focus. They blocked out external stimuli and their study time was extremely productive. In fact, just about every good student had the ability to focus extremely well. I noticed this same thing when I was a law professor. You could spot the best students, because they were always the most focused.
