Hobson Motzer

Human Resources Manager Search

OUR CLIENT'S NEED:  The Controller at this century old Connecticut manufacturer of precision metal stampings was tapped out. After running into several hiring roadblocks, he was desperate to find an exemplary individual to fill the role of HR Manager. In the meantime, he continued to wear multiple hats- as Controller and HR leader… It was time for the madness to stop.

SEARCH CHALLENGES: They didn’t want to settle for just anyone to fill this critical role in the organization. Being in business since 1912, Hobson & Motzer’s business model has always been to exceed their customers’ expectations with their “can do” attitude. This was an attribute they were seeking in their new HR Manager. The other challenge was that the candidate had to possess a documented and successful 5+ year track record within the manufacturing world, and an excellent educational background.  

OUR TALENT DELIVERY SOLUTION:  Since one of our specialties is finding talent in the Manufacturing space, as well as Human Resources, this was a challenge we knew we could handle. We immediately tapped into our network of local HR talent, and were able to present them 3 qualified candidates within the first 6 days… One of them was Alicia, their new Human Resources Manager.

A few reasons they hired Alicia: 

She holds multiple degrees, including an M.S. in Human Resources Management and Organizational Effectiveness.

• Her track record includes being a national trainer and workshop instructor at the university level.
• She knows how manufacturing organizations operate- inside and out. 
• Her references were stellar.
• She was available immediately to interview.
