Mark Stocker
PRESIDENT/OWNER, SANINC
Mark is the president of SANINC, and its subsidiaries, MetalJobs Network and PlasticJobs Network. Prior to entering the recruiting and placement profession, Mark spent more than 20 years building, training, and managing top-ranked sales teams. He understands that by taking the time to ask detailed questions on the front end, everyone saves time and is more likely to get what they want on the tail end.
Mark is a strong advocate of being a student of the game. He has traveled all over the country to meet with, train with, and learn under some of the most talented and respected recruiters in the industry. Some of these recruiters include Peter Lefkowitz, Danny Cahill, Scott Love, Jordan Rayboy, Karen Schmidt, and Jeff Kaye. In the fall of 2015, after almost 25 years of operating as a stand-alone business, SANINC joined Sanford Rose Associates’ (SRA) network of offices. This move enabled each of SANINC’s companies to continue operating as independent, boutique, niche-market firms, while acquiring access to resources and support that come with being part of a Top 10 Search Firm.
Mark was born in Louisville and went to college at University of Kentucky. While in college, he spent 5 years running his own business under the Southwestern Company where he built a 40-person sales team and was consistently in the top 1% of all salespeople. After college, Mark took 4 months off to travel the world with 3 close friends. Upon returning to the states, he helped to found several companies that took him from North Carolina to Colorado to Connecticut to Arizona, before returning to Louisville in 2010. He started with MetalJobs Network in 2012 and acquired the company in 2014. In Mark’s free time, he enjoys playing disc golf with his 2 boys, Jameson and Griffin; heading out on a kayak with his beautiful wife, Abigail; or playing Euchre with his friends.
