The Hiring Line:
1. Larry DiBoni had three clients who landed this week!
-To start, M. landed in under two months! Her former title was Director of Nursing. She is now Hospital Administrator. M. has resigned from her former position at a surgery center.
-And also, R. is staying in the agriculture C suite, changing hats from CEO of one seed company to Chief Revenue Officer for a new seed company. He used to have to regularly commute and now he can work right from home! Larry helped him negotiate his offer up $25K to $325K. Not too shabby! This offer came about because of an industry consolidation by a private equity firm that needed this role filled to complete the deal.
-Not to be outdone, P. now serves as the Chief Financial Officer for a healthcare company, and he is able to work fully remotely. He leaves his post as a Regional Medicaid CFO. The initial offer came in at $230,000, plus a 30% Bonus; Larry coached him to have them sweeten the deal to the tune of $245,000, plus a 35% Bonus! Larry elaborates: “In nurturing his social capital, P. was told of an opening. He had five interviews and, if it wasn’t for his social capital contact, he wouldn’t have gone this far. He thought that TBG brought added value, especially in creating his value proposition in his resume and the prep work that was done for interviews. P. always felt very prepared, which provided a plan of attack. He thanks us very much.”
2. Barbara Limmer and Waffles Natusch were impressed with S.! He shares, “Crushed the CEO interview. I was offered job on the spot and was told by the hiring manager that I was the first candidate to ever have that happen!” Special thanks to SME George Schulz for jumping in on a one-hour notice to prep S. for this one, his favorite from his current activities, where he continues to interview and receive competing offers this week. The international metals company is likely the winner, and he has accepted the modified offer after S. took the advice from Team Limmer/Natusch. The initial offer included $15K in relo, but after negotiation, they are offering full relo + 500 shares of stock. This is yet another deal with a 3-year IPO on the table, with S. likely to cash out at over a million dollars!
4. Lori Chevalier was beaming when she gave us the news: her client C. has landed! He likes multiple roles, and the new one has him juggling CFO & COO, where before he was Head of Finance & Controlling. He’s left manufacturing behind and is now in the Transportation & Delivery sector. Using Barrett Group techniques in the Published Market, he ended up walking away from a $160K base and stepping into $170k + $12k expenses + $30k+ bonus. Lori told us: “C. is bright and wanted to wait for the right opportunity. He attained his goals and landed a perfect role! Way to go C.!”
