We Helped Her “Land Her Dream Job”

Blog Post Written by Bonnie Fish, Business Development Manager for Imprimis (bfish@imprimis.com)

I am a Business Development Manager for Imprimis. Most of my interactions are with the clients rather than the candidates.

In my position, I rarely have the satisfaction of relaying the good news to a candidate that they have won the position they have wished for with the company of their dreams.  There is an upside to this as I ALSO do not have to bear the bad news to candidates that they did NOT win the position.

However, I had an opportunity to be truly engaged with a candidate as she struggled thru a couple of  temporary to permanent positions and interviews that did not work out for one reason or another.  After a few months of trying to find a fit for her,  she won an interview to start as a temporary at my client’s company.

This resulted as a “match made in heaven”.  Not only was she happy about the environment and culture but as an extra bonus, she was going to be able to use her beloved hobby, photography in assisting with product photos on their client’s sites.

I have included some bits from her letter below on this blog post. I don’t deserve the “glory”, the recruiters are in the trenches with the candidates 99% of the time.  I did want to express how satisfying a “well placed” hire can be for everyone involved!  How rewarding it is to find people employment  in the job hungry economy we find ourselves in, especially when the employee lands a “dream job”!

From Candidate: “Bonnie helped to place me with a fashion-design firm close to my home and I could not be happier.  The company and I are a perfect match, and this is a testament to the fact that Bonnie and Imprimis took the time to listen carefully to my needs and requests after the first placement had not worked out.

I could not imagine this process being a better experience.  I have worked with other Staffing services in the past and none of them have come close to what Imprimis and Bonnie has to offer.  I felt as though I was Bonnie’s one and only client, and regardless of my demands (which were probably overwhelming for her at times) she never made me feel uncomfortable or unvalued.  She is truly a blessing to me, and I thank God every day for putting Imprimis and her in my life and leading me down my new and exciting career path!”
