Ryan Feimer

Project Manager: Paper, Packaging and Printing

Company Description

A family-owned corrugated manufacturer with a legacy spanning over 60 years, trusted for delivering reliable packaging solutions rooted in decades of craftsmanship.

Job Title

Corrugated Structural Design Lead

How long was client searching prior to our involvement?

Despite posting job ads for about a month, the search had not yet yielded the right fit.

Did client have internal recruiting resources?

While not having a structured internal recruiting process or resources, they did utilize online job advertisements in an attempt to attract qualified candidates.

Why was this a real problem for the client?

The client faced a pressing succession challenge: two seasoned designers, each with over 30 years of tenure, were scheduled to retire by the end of 2024. The company needed to onboard a Corrugated Structural Design Lead by December to ensure knowledge transfer, maintain project continuity, and train a future designer.

Leveraging its Accu-Search™ methodology, Delta Diversified swiftly identified and engaged passive, high-caliber corrugated designer candidates beyond traditional postings. Ryan Feimer spearheaded this targeted outreach, and presented a qualified candidate shortlist in just 5 days. This allowed the client to interview and hire their ideal candidate in 34 days.

 

How did this opportunity help the candidate?

The candidate was seeking more leadership responsibility, having reached a growth ceiling at his previous role. Additionally, he and his family were eager to relocate from Idaho to a region offering amenities and a major airport making Northern Missouri an appealing destination.

This opportunity offered:

- A 25% salary increase, delivering immediate financial upside.
- A pivotal leading role in design operations.
- Altogether, the role aligned perfectly with his career aspirations and personal lifestyle preferences.
