About PlasticJobs Network
Why PlasticJobs?
What sets PJN apart from other executive search firms?
PlasticJobs Network is a team of seasoned recruiters dedicated exclusively to filling professional and executive positions in the plastics industry. We understand the global plastics industry and the local job market. By asking the right questions and focusing on the unique needs of both hiring managers and job seekers, our recruiters simplify the hiring process and bring satisfaction to everyone involved.
If you want a valued recruiting partner, here is why we outperform the competition:
Speed
Our recruiters regularly interview job candidates who are open to discussing career advancements. This, combined with a full-time research team, an established database, and process-driven recruitment, give us an ability to recruit quality job candidates quickly.
Specialization
Our recruiters are deeply knowledgeable of the plastics industry. We understand the products, the language, and the industry nuances. Each day we evaluate new job seekers and new staffing opportunities in plastics.
Process
Our recruiting process begins with developing a candidate search plan. This includes utilizing a full-time research staff, an established database, the latest recruiting technologies, and most importantly, dedicated, personal interaction. Often, the best job candidates may be working for direct competitors and not even thinking about a career change until our recruiting team presents a compelling new job opportunity. It is our goal to uncover the best talent and connect them with the best plastics companies.
Professionalism
Every day we strive to live our guiding principles to sustain high ethics within the recruiting industry. As such, we are great brand ambassadors for your plastics company. We advance and protect your reputation and brand awareness through our professional interaction with all job candidates.
Quality
We are committed to providing high-impact talent for our hiring clients. Our full recruiting process is thorough and aims at the best available talent in the industry. Our goal is to provide candidates who meet no less than 90% of your top six hiring criteria every time we refer a candidate.
6-Step Recruiting Process
Step 1: Planning
To help achieve your strategic staffing objectives in the shortest possible time, we want to identify those things about your plastics company—its history, values, and culture—that will excite recruited candidates about using their skills, experience, and personality to make a positive difference in your employment. The classic job posting is important; but often it is the details about the job’s challenges, responsibilities, and growth opportunities that will attract the best talent.
Step 2: RESEARCH
Each new executive search begins with developing a plan designed to leave no stone unturned in identifying ideal job candidates and referral sources. Using our extensive in-house staffing database, our research team generates a call list for your job posting. We add to that list by obtaining the most current information from professional social networks and other public and private staffing databases.
Step 3: RECRUITING
Supported by extensive staffing resources, our recruiters actively recruit quality job candidates from wherever they may be found. While we utilize the latest technologies for recruiting, it is the old fashion one-on-one phone conversations that are the heartbeat of our recruiting business.
Step 4: Assessment
Available job candidates who fit your employee-search profile are evaluated in two stages. First, recruiters assess the candidate’s skill levels, accomplishments, career goals, and product and territory exposures in the plastics industry. Then, a recruiting supervisor screens a short list of job candidates to determine who best fits the hiring client’s ideal employee profile.*
*Confidential searches can remain such until you choose to engage a particular candidate.
Step 5: INTERVIEWING
Our recruiters bring about the mutual goals of hiring clients and job candidates by facilitating communication between the two in a timely and efficient manner. Throughout the hiring company’s interview process, we work closely with both parties in scheduling, questioning, listening, informing, and expediting the process to ensure everyone is on the same page. The involvement of our recruiters guarantees a smooth movement forward towards the offer stage or a graceful withdrawal.
Step 6: Acceptance
Our offer-to-acceptance ratio is extremely high because our recruiters stay engaged throughout the hiring process. The needs, desires, and goals of both hiring clients and job candidates are critical when formulating an acceptable offer package. Our recruiters prove indispensable at this delicate stage, establishing realistic expectations for both parties. The intermediary role of our recruiters is key to making an offer that everyone can be excited about.
Our Promise
You will NEVER see a job candidate from us that does not meet all three of these staffing criteria simultaneously:
- The job candidate will have a minimum of 90% of the skills you outline.
- The job candidate will be motivated by more than just money.
- The job candidate has high character and values.
- Our average recruiting cycle goal from search assignment to accepted job offer depends on the type of search, but is typically within 60 days.
- An emphasis on fit – over 75% of job candidates placed four years ago are still with the hiring client company.
- We offer a 3-year replacement program.
Yes, there are lots of headhunters out there. But we can guarantee you won’t find any search or recruiting firm that is harder working, more sincere, or better qualified than we are.
