Progress During a Transitional Time
1st Quarter 2021 was rigorous with activity as evident by the completion of 13 search projects and the acquisition of 9 new client partnerships. Our retained searches run across all genres including accounting/finance/banking, human resources, information technology, engineering/operations/manufacturing/supply chain, and sales/marketing. In 2020, the pandemic had a significant impact on working families, as well as, an abrupt pivot in best practices within the physical business or operational setting for companies. Hiring practices were impacted by the pandemic but able to shift seamlessly due to technology and some methods are here to stay as they proved to be effective and efficient. Companies are more methodical in the approach to hiring in that the openings are a result of analyzing the business model and organizational structure to key on personnel realignments, upgrades or replacements. With the vaccine rollout and better understanding of how to mitigate surges than a year ago, companies are looking to grow while also assessing where they can embrace virtualization in some departments permanently. Based on robust hiring trends in 4th Quarter 2020 and 1st Quarter 2021, the desire to secure talented team members is evident and a proactive candidate should consider engaging with B&B to get ahead of the competition.

When Ed Bradstreet founded B&B back in 1987 he would market opportunities in the want ads of the newspaper. Client referrals were prepared on a typewriter and mailed via the post office. The process then was slow but the concept hasn’t changed in that he has an eye for talented professionals. Today technology has afforded the entire B&B team to facilitate the search process in a shorter time period but the success rate is still attributed to the ability to identify the bullseye.
A recent example:
B&B placed a General Manager at a privately-held manufacturer of engineered products. With revenues approaching $10M, the company is profitable, committed to staying local, and looking to upgrade manufacturing processes and capital equipment. Our candidate evaluated the team in place and realized a need to replace the Operations Manager. He reached out to B&B to discreetly fill the position. The job would be a center stage role within a one shift operation serving domestic and international customers. They would be responsible for all manufacturing, shipping/receiving and facilities along with partnering with purchasing, sales, engineering, quality, finance, R&D, and IT. One month to the day of the initial call, our talented candidate was placed.
