Our Team

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.

Read Bio
As a PlasticsJobs Network Search Consultant, Ross brings over 25 years of networking and connecting people, communities, and businesses to the team. He understands that while interacting with both clients and candidates, listening to and understanding their needs and goals is the best way to ensure that everyone gets exactly what they are looking for out of the recruiting and placement process. In other words, in this fast-paced, computer-driven industry, Ross understands the “human touch” and this he believes, more than anything, is what connects people.
“I have worked for twenty-five years in over fifty countries connecting governments, non-governmental organizations, and businesses to meet their needs as well as those of the people and communities they serve. It has always been my passion in life. As a Search Consultant, I believe that passion will allow me to authentically connect people in order to merge their common purpose.“
Ross was raised in Louisville, KY, and has lived and worked around the world for over twenty-five years. He enjoys mountain biking, rock climbing (when his body allows), his vinyl record collection which contains over 2500 records of live music, and of course, spending as much time as possible with his son.
Our Recruiters
Our recruiting team works hard to connect the right candidates to the right employers. Each member of our team is an experienced search consultant, completes the best recruiter training in the industry, and is dedicated to serving our clients and candidates. Our approach is to utilize recruiting industry best practices to match job requirements with candidate skills and career goals. Because of our laser focus on matching talent to the role, our recruiters are able to repeatedly refer candidates that meet employer expectations.
Our Multi-touch Recruitment Process
In today’s fast-paced, high-touch environment, posting jobs and sending emails can become background noise. Our team uses a variety of tools and techniques to surface potential candidates. We leverage emails, voicemails, texting, InMails, multiple social media platforms, a variety of job boards, a monthly newsletter, as well as networking with other plastics professionals, in order to turn over every rock. Once we evaluate and submit qualified candidates, we work closely with all parties throughout the Placement Process to increase the odds of hiring the candidate of your choice.
