Strom Minnesota
Engineering and Technical Recruiting
Name a company in the Twin Cities and most likely we’ve worked with them. Our experience speaks for itself. Our customers always have good things to say. In the rare situation when a problem does occur, we work to fix it right the first time..
Our customers don’t spend 30 minutes on the phone with us explaining what they want in a candidate. Our employers often tell us “you know what I’m looking for; find someone” and that’s exactly what we do.
Manufacturing
Jon came to Strom after unsuccessfully searching on his own. He was having difficulty finding employment on his own. Being an older candidate and living in a remote location he was struggling to find an employer that matched his skills. He had applied multiple times to a local company for which he was a good fit. Strom contacted the company on Jon’s behalf and was able to secure the open position at the wage level that Jon desired.
Precision Machining
The candidate has physical imitations that had an effect on the interview and hiring process, though they would have no impact on the level or quality of his work. The candidate had been searching for a job for 6-9 months with little success. Both his education and skill set were extremely advanced, and he was more than qualified for the positions. He reached out to Strom for assistance. Strom contacted and negotiated with the hiring company. We went to bat for the candidate; explaining his unique background, qualifications, and why he would be a good fit. Strom was able to help the hiring manager see past the physical limitations to the valuable employee they needed.
Metal Fabrication
Chris came to Strom after receiving an employment offer that was not at the level he was expecting to receive. The offer he received was below the salary he was anticipating and below the industry standard as well. He contacted Strom to negotiate on his behalf. After discussing Chris's needs and desires, Strom reached out to the prospective employer. Through the course of the negotiations, Strom was able to secure the wage rate and vacation time that Chris wanted.
Quality Inspector
Mike came to Strom looking for a career that was more advanced and challenging than the position he had held for many years with the same company. He had interviewed with multiple companies but was unsuccessful in securing a new position. Having been with the same company for a long time; he had difficulties acclimating to the interview process. Strom worked with Mike on his interview skills and techniques. Using the feedback from people who had interviewed him, we coached Mike to improve his presentation. With this coaching and his skills, we were able to place him in a role in which he was successful.
Heavy Industrial Maintenance Equipment
Joshua had recently moved into a new role in their talent acquisition department. The company had a number of large machines/equipment that were on back order with their clients. They also were short-staffed on a number of machine builders in their electrical, mechanical and hydraulic departments. Another employee had worked with Strom Minnesota in the past, and recommended that Joshua reach out to us. We met with Joshua on multiple occasions to get a better understanding of their hiring needs, the working environment and the demands of the positions. We also toured the facility to get a better understanding of the working environment and demands of the positions. Over the next 10 months, Strom Minnesota placed over 30 highly-skilled machine builders to help them meet their client orders. With this new help, they were able to meet all orders. About 65% of the machine builders were ultimately hired temp-to-perm.
