Industry Commentary

Employees generally leave companies for a better opportunity.  They may want to work with a more collaborative team, develop their skills, help grow another company, increase responsibility, change geography and/or increase their salary.

Our recruiters are experts in the electrical industry and know the job market for the verticals we serve. What a Product Manager earns in lighting may differ from power distribution. We understand the criteria for a candidate to leave their job to join another company.  Salary may not be the primary factor, but it can be extremely disappointing if an offer is made below expectations.  Make sure you know your budget and are transparent from the beginning. We certainly have the knowledge to assist you when it comes time to make an offer to the perfect candidate!
