About Jim Hickey

Senior Staffing/RPO Executive with a broad-based knowledge of Strategic sales and business operations. My expertise lies in both Strategic Selling and Operations, including the planning and delivery of creative solutions to challenging business initiatives. My career includes annual Budget/P&L responsibilities exceeding $300MM. I have a unique ability to assess and quickly stabilize under-performing regions utilizing an inspirational change mgmt. style. Additionally, I take full responsibility for designing and implementing sustainable plans to grow revenues, improve processes, while reducing costs. I take great pride in having coached and mentored many of today\'s top Staffing Industry leaders. PRINCIPLES As a Staffing Industry veteran with immense corporate leadership experience, I bring a unique understanding and perspective to the business of hiring and retaining top talent. While strategy and vision are essential and critical to success, both hinge on the right talent executing with excellence. I believe it is crucial to take the time to understand the culture, values, and nuances specific to each client’s business as we source and assess a job fit beyond the words on the resume. Fully engulfed in the industries we serve, we use a sourcing versus searching methodology. Our industry focus areas include E-commerce, supply chain/logistics, distribution, as well as the staffing industry: mid-to–senior-level management talent. j•••@ptalentsolutions.com 86••••••••79 Executive Search | Retained Search | Project Recruiting | Boutique Search Firm | E-commerce | Supply Chain | Supply Logistics | Distribution | Sales & Operation | Temporary Staffing | Contract Negotiation | Recruiting | CRM | Contract Recruitment | Human Resources | Technical Recruiting | Staffing Services | Temporary Placement | Internet Recruiting | College Recruiting | Sales Process | Sales Management | Customer Retention | Vendor Management | Screening Resumes
