How long was client searching prior to our involvement?

They engaged me right away for this search.

Did client have internal recruiting resources?

No, they do not have internal recruiting.

Why was this a real problem for the client?

This was an addition to the team that was needed due to the fact that the Founder/President is starting to phase himself out to retire and turn over the reins to his son. While his son is knowledgeable about the business, he is not a paper maker or engineer so there would be a huge void of knowledge. They wanted someone who has that experience to be able to work alongside the owner and absorb his knowledge as well so that he felt comfortable turning it over. This person will be the son’s right hand man and also be involved in improving efficiencies and help with grade changes as he will move into new industries.

How did this opportunity help the candidate?

This is a unique opportunity to be part of an established company but have a ground level feel to it with the changing of the guard. This will also give the candidate and his family a huge boost financially.
