We had the good fortune of connecting with Leti McKay and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leti, what is the most important factor behind your success?
‘I believe the most important piece that has contributed to a lot of success at MSS has been building strong business relationships with my clients even after the “service is completed”. I think follow-ups is essential to maintain those connections, by celebrating my clients along the way in their career successes whether that’s a promotion, joining a new company, or even adding a new certification/degree under their belt! Providing a celebratory champagne bottle or gift card to my clients is a small token I provide to let them know I am cheering them on as they continue to climb their individual career ladder!

Another measure of my brand’s success is how we make sure our professional services are expert level but also affordable pricing for all and we like to pay-it-forward every month to the community by selecting (1) recipient who have either recently encountered a layoff/hardship and we bless them with a free professional level resume and 1 career coaching session to help them land the right job they rightfully deserve!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
McKay Staffing Solutions (nicknamed “MSS”) is a Career Consultation Service business. We believe in the three P’s which means Professional, Proven and Progress. Our organization guarantees Professional services with a Proven success for every client and always keeping room for Progress so each and every client continues to grow and grow in every role until they are ready to climb up the ladder again to their next position! Our motto is “the seat you are currently in, is not your final seat”.

We offer resume services for Entry-level, Professional-level and Executive-level clientele, in addition we also provide 1:1 coaching sessions (in-person or virtual), mock interview preparation, host monthly career workshop trainings, leadership coaching and employee development workshops.

What sets up apart is that we are with our clients every step of the way. Our clients don’t just pay for a resume and that’s it, oh no we are really wanting for our clients to be successful, our coaches want to know the clients goals within the next 5-10 years and create a development plan that will truly help each client for the long-term and they can always reflect back on that plan as a resource!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Since I live in Metro, Atlanta I would have to take them to get some lemon pepper wings or take a trip downtown to the varsity! I am a wine connoisseur at heart, so visiting a winery in Buford would be on the list and probably hanging out at the beltline or visiting a host of trails in North Georgia.

In my view some of the most fun places people may check out is going to the Aquarium, Atlanta Zoo or eating at a yummy steakhouse like Houston’s.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mother and my uncle has been two of my biggest influences when it came to opening my business. They knew how passionate I have always been to help people in their careers and provide insights that I knew would help them. My mom (Terri) is the social butterfly, before I could even market my brand she was already passing the word! I got my very first MSS client from my mom and after helping my first client word just spread like wildfire!!!! My uncle (Melvin) is the business man, he gave me so much advice on the business side of things and his expertise helped me tremendously with getting MSS officially stamped and approved. Many thanks to them both and also my countless clients who have trusted my company to attribute to the next level in their careers!
