Vice President Talent AcquisitionCollaborates with a leading provider of boutique corporate sponsored outplacement services creating a multi-dimensional dynamic strengthening the respective service areas. Every outplacement and recruiting assignment receives the time, attention and creativity to assure delivery of a responsive, customized solution.Recruiting Success Drivers: My long standing record of consistent success is based on several practical and co-extensive factors, including: I am industry disciplined – working only manufacturing positions. Many believe they can work in any field because their process trumps everything else. To the contrary, modern manufacturing’s complexity and constant change dictates that you cannot evaluate candidate activities, accomplishments and behaviors without real knowledge of the underlying meaning, importance and inter-relationship of technical, business and market requirements. I have an actual “been there” technical leadership background, including education in Industrial Technology, followed by managerial and executive decision making roles at public and private manufacturers. My recruiting and manufacturing background promotes multi-faceted level of questioning and analysis of company requirements. Job description and keywords aren't enough to start a search. In addition to my screening discussions, my intensive protocol requires candidates to submit written answers and differentiation on position-critical matters. I use time-honored networking referral and candidate rousting recruiting methods. I do not post ads on job boards. Companies can do that. I target competitors and engage the interest of bystander, passive candidates, who are not reading ads. Superior candidates are sent to me by my extensive network of the top talent that I know via school, work or have previously placed and/or recruited for. I am truly 2-3 “touches” from most of the area’s manufacturing leadership and engineering talent.
