Finding qualified talent means nothing if you don’t have the right fit. A multinational manufacturer needed assistance finding a general manager for a facility in rural Arkansas. The facility had previously been owned by another manufacturing company. The multinational manufacturer searched for the right person for ten months. Experiencing no success finding candidates willing to relocate to such a rural and remote community, they turned to Dise & Company. Using the Dise & Company search process, our team connected with more than one hundred fifty contacts and qualified candidates. Early on we sent several preliminary candidates to the client to for review. This helped our team clarify, calibrate and refine their efforts to a laser sharp focus, identifying the right talent with the right fit.
Within two months, our search team presented three highly qualified candidates, all of whom our client agreed were qualified to perform the job and would fit with their corporate culture. One of the candidates had grown up in the area and wanted to return. The candidate they hired had started his career in that very facility when it was under different ownership. He loved the area and the people. When he visited the plant for his first interview people were actually hugging him in the middle of the plant! Although our client’s recruitment efforts had yielded no results after ten months, the Dise & Company search team found and secured qualified right talent, right fit candidates within sixty days.
A client who runs a private school told Dise & Company, “You are the reason I can sleep at night.” They had struggled for more than 18 months to fill a vacancy for the head of the school. They finally called Dise & Company after the board president had found herself needing to run the school in the interim. Dise & Company found an ideal candidate in a matter of weeks. She has been in place and highly successful for years.
Dise & Company helped a family-owned business where the father was in the process of handing the reins to his son. The son had the title of president but not the tools for leading. Executive coaching gave him the tools he needed to actually be the president. The Dise & Company coach helped define the role by working closely with the client and ultimately helped the son become the face of the company, lead subordinates and articulate his vision for the company. Many young leaders feel pressure to know everything, yet great leaders are listeners who allow their people to explain things and trust their staff to execute.
Tackling talent needs head on is the key to our chief officer recruiting services. We help leaders fill healthcare executive jobs and take those decisive actions that will improve both their organizations and their people.
