“The Blast Bag Company has doubled in size during the past four years, and we needed to find employees who will continue to steer the ship in the right direction,” said Danny Earp, owner of The Blast Bag Company. “We’ve used BIC Recruiting a couple times in the past, and we have great success with them finding qualified candidates every time. BIC taps into the industrial market and always provides candidates who specialize in the industries and positions we’re looking for.”
“BIC Recruiting’s connections within the industry mean they can get you in front of opportunities that may not be advertised,” Ellis said. “BIC has strong, long-term relationships, and their recruiters really get to know the candidates.”
Ellis encourages candidates to realize their skillsets can be transferable to other industries or positions, so they shouldn’t get too tied up in finding specific jobs.
“BIC wants to know the breadth of a candidate’s experience, and that’s important,” he said.
Ford had seen BIC Alliance at trade shows and became interested in using BIC Recruiting once he learned of its services. Ford wanted to work for a company with a “family feel” that values the work/home life balance and encourages employees in everything they do.
“BIC Recruiting looked for companies that would fit my style and personality, and they offered many options,” Ford said. “In the end, BIC found the right company for me. The interview process was very professional and comfortable. BIC’s recruiters won’t lose you in the shuffle; they will keep working for you until they find the position that’s best for you.”
BIC Recruiting understands the uniqueness of each client’s needs, and its goal is to place candidates who not only meet those needs but will also grow with the company.
