Transition Staffing Group Placed 23% of Current Finance Team with Seamless Precision

David Christ (00:00) And so if they have those candidates that they find that are solid and can stand on their own two feet, and then I'll bring them in to actually have a conversation with them in the interview They do a very easy job in terms of billing. All of that is very straightforward, whether it's on a temporary basis and/or a permanent basis, so... very seamless and very easy to work with the group there. Hello, my name is David Christ. I'm currently the Vice President of Finance for North America for Bolle Brands, Inc. Bolle Brands, Inc. is a consumer product company focused on eyewear in the ski market, as well as goggles and helmets in the ski market as well. And we make year round sunglasses that allow you to live your life to the max. So I met Shaun Enders probably going back about 20 years. I've been in accounting and finance now for over 25 years. But then I've also just utilized Transition Staffing Group probably close to 20 years. I think they do a phenomenal market, in terms of like where their account placements are. Currently on my staff, I have a staff of 13. three of those placements have come from TSG. So I've used them in the past, I've had multiple placements before in the on but I also actively use TSG now. they do a very good job of understanding you as a person first. I feel like they understand my management style at the same time. And so as they are able to interview and meet candidates, they can both provide somewhat of my management style and the team that I like to form. But then they also come on site, then see if that's something that excites them and they would be willing to come on board. And so, you know, you don't have a candidate that comes in and says, "well, hey, this wasn't really what I anticipated. And you explained it to me as this." That doesn't happen in the case with TSG. they know me quite well at this point in time. they understand what those requirements are, what the 'nice to haves' are, and then basically relay that to the candidate In an effort to just make a seamless transition after they come on board and I would say 9.9 times out of 10 it works out just fine. I think they fill this solid niche. I think with certain recruiting firms, sometimes people paint themselves as, we're a one-stop shop from accounts receivable and accounts payable all the way up to CFO. But I feel like a lot of those companies say that, but they don't do a very good job in terms of what their middle ground is in terms of placement. When I speak about TSG, I speak to the fact that they can bring anyone on from accounts receivable or accounts payable. This can be temp or permanent all the way up to that controller level. And again, by understanding you, by understanding the environment, by understanding the requirements for that role, they have a solid and good feel for what those candidates might be interested in, and if that candidate would work in that environment or not. And then I feel like other firms are just sort of over-promised and under-delivered. they're trying to get the business, but they don't take that personal touch where I would argue TSG takes that personal touch.
