Generating the Best Candidates

We needed additional engineering talent to meet industry growth during the auto industry recovery and expansion. We initially tried to conduct searches on our own, but we found that engineers were in very high demand and recruiting was relatively difficult as the OEMs and large Tier 1 suppliers snapped-up the best and brightest. When we realized how tight the market was for good engineers, we turned to select recruiters, including Lisa VanWyk, to assist with our search for candidates.

Lisa organized a recruiting campaign and generated the best (and most) candidates for our open positions from among all of the recruiters we worked with. She presented pre-screened, well-qualified candidates, and coordinated interview schedules and follow-up question and answer sessions. She also provided degree confirmations and references. When we selected candidates to hire, Lisa assisted with the extension of employment offers, helped with salary and benefit negotiations, and handled contingencies such as background checks.

Lisa was highly professional, and conducted multiple searches with successful placement results. I highly recommend Lisa VanWyk for developing a recruiting campaign that will meet an employer’s specific staffing needs.
