It is for this reason that I created
Precision Placements, to excel in the above two areas.
I felt that with excellence in recruiting and
knowledge of the manufacturing companies are run, PPI
would be a successful Executive Search Firm. Fortunately,
this formula has proven successful and excel we have.
Since our inception in the early nineties,
Precision Placements has become a recognized name in the
Textile and apparel industry both in the United States and
around the world. Our textilejobs.com
website was started in 1995 and our LinkedIn Apparel and
Textile Executive Network group is one of the largest
groups dedicated to Senior Textile and Apparel Executives.
Let me explain our philosophy in more
detail:
First and foremost is our commitment to
professionalism. None of our consultants are on a one
placement short term focus, so that "used car salesman"
mentality is non existent. This allows us to focus on long
term one on one relationship building, rather than just an
immediate placement. Our consultants on numerous occasions
have helped candidates land an opportunity that we had not
set up and had no interest in or companies define the
parameters of a particular position. Through our
experience of helping people prepare for interviews, our
knowledge of the individual candidate's strengths and
weaknesses, and our overall knowledge of the industry; we
often are able to provide that extra something that helps
them receive an offer. This has helped us establish
lasting friendships, and has helped us build our huge
network of contacts. We realize that this network is
critical for our existence and one of the prime reasons
that you should work with us.
Secondly is our commitment to
understanding your industry and how your company is run.
Why is a specialization important? We have a long history
with the textile and apparel industry but have also
conducted successful C-level searches for other
manufacturing entities. Having spent
time managing manufacturing operations and being a
business partner in company acquisitions, I can understand
the nuances of finding the right individual - especially
for senior searches. We utilize a very
large database management program developed exclusively
for Precision that integrates all activities in our
office. There are nuances in textile manufacturing,
marketing, and senior management that simply cannot be
utilized with a generic system. The data is filled with
information gained through more tham two decades of
running a successful search business. Yet
even while we are unmatched in our technological expertise
and social networking, we still utilize "old fashioned"
recruiting through our network of contacts and
relationship building.
Most importantly though is the fact
that we are calling your competitors every day. If you
are a candidate, your top competitors are the people
that are going to be most interested in your background
and how you can improve their organization. If you are a
client, there is no better place to find top talent than
from your competitors. They are already trained in your
end product, are selling to your clients, and they can
often bring a different perspective to your company that
will enhance what you currently do.
When you put all of these facets
together, I think you will find that Precision Placements
is a truly unique and refreshing search firm. We were the
first textile search firm with a strong presence on the
internet helping us to reach the top people in throughout
the US and the world. I hope that you will take a moment
and give us a call or drop us a note to learn more. Of
course all correspondence and conversations are highly
confidential.
Sincerely,
Ken Edwards, CPC
President
***** Addendum *****
Believe it or not, the bulk of the
above was written just a few years after we started in
1997 when we were only four years old. As
all of you know, our industry has had dramatic changes
since then. With these changes, PPI
has changed as well. 80% of our searches now are in Sales
& Marketing and Corporate Management, and Retainer
searches make up a larger percentage of our assignments.
We also have been quick to fully utilize modern
search practices and social media to combine traditional
recruiting with cutting edge tools. The
one constant has been our commitment to the above
principles and the value put on our network of friends and
colleagues. Yes, we are up to date and utilize the latest
recruiting technology and methods from social networking
to an advanced ATS, but the core to our success is the
advanced network that we have built and relationships that
we maintain. It has allowed us
to continually increase our revenue and made 2019 a record
year. I do hope that you will contact us to find out
more..
Thank you.
