THE HIRING LINE:

1. C. has (finally!) inked the deal and is President of a service provider, for a new division that will be marketing and selling the machine, patented fluid, and service to disinfect surfaces in schools and hospitals. In 20 minutes, his team can fully sterilize a large room, including every spec of any and all viruses! Further good news, C. plans on hiring 35 sales representatives nationwide by the end of the month and is up to 17 so far.
2. Our brand-new client, I., is the husband of one of our successful clients from three years ago. We had helped him as a professional courtesy three years ago, and when his most recent executive telecom job was eliminated, he looked to The Barrett Group as a trusted career management partner. On the day he accepted his severance, his friend offered him a job with his startup and I. accepted. So, he can prepare for his job search now and execute it in two years, when his commitment to his buddy has been fulfilled. That is a good friendship all around!
