NFFS Members Collaborate to Fill Staffing Needs
Trade associations bring people together. NFFS focuses on connecting those members who pour metal and those members who supply and support the industry to solve problems and grow businesses. That connectivity is particularly important when looking to recruit and hire key employees. NFFS Associate member Adecco is one of the largest recruitment and staffing organizations in the world with over 25,000 recruitment experts connecting people to employment in 62 countries. NFFS is fortunate to work closely with Adecco’s Jim Peterson, Search Consultant, whose expertise and experience in the foundry industry has been critical to support NFFS member companies as they look to fill key roles with valuable employees.
Recently, Tazewell Machine Works was looking to find a new Foundry Manager at their facility in Illinois. Tazewell reached out to NFFS for support to identify the best candidates to fill this key role and NFFS connected them directly to Jim at Adecco. Jim utilized his well-constructed network to identify a short list of prospective employees with the right match of skills and experience required by Tazewell. An offer was then made and a new Foundry Manager was hired.
“Working with a close-knit association like the NFFS is the kind of partnership every successful business should be looking for,” says Jim Peterson. “Finding like-minded individuals and companies that can help each other grow benefits everyone as a whole.”
Outside of his placement activities with NFFS member companies, Jim has found other ways to support the Society through key introductions with prospective member foundries that he is working with or has worked with on their staffing needs. These warm introductions are great ways to begin discussions on the value of NFFS and the benefits of these new organizations joining the Society.
If you have roles to fill in your foundries and you need help finding the right people, please contact Adecco's Jim Peterson directly at jim.peterson@adeccona.com or (314) 941-4049.
