About Maria Hemminger

With a background in retail and degree in hand, I started my career in the staffing industry in 1997. I joined a regional recruitment firm, was promoted to the VP of the Technical Division and hired Joanna Spaun in 2001. In 2005, Joanna and I started MJ Recruiters in the basement of my house with the goal of being active moms available to our kids. Today, 20 years later, we have placed more than manufacturing professionals and have long-term employees Lisa Reinbolt and Clare Brickner on our team. As one of the Partner and Owners of MJ Recruiters I:• Qualify new client prospects• Foster long term relationships with our clients • Complete client intakes on new positions • Serve as the point of contact for the companies that we place technical and professional talent with• Commit to “RAISING THE BAR” on a daily basis I am passionate about building long-term relationships with YOU! When not focused on my client’s recruitment needs, I love to spend time with my grown kids and husband. I enjoy traveling to different places and favorite long-term familiar spots. I love to eat food at a new restaurant with a glass of wine or a GREAT cocktail! My favorite is dinner with my friends or family sharing stories of current and old. I enjoy listening to live music, trail and sand dune riding in our RZR, sitting on any beach, being on the water, reading a good book, walking and hiking. My biggest lesson learned was from my 98 ½-year-old grandma. She taught me not to sweat over the stuff that doesn’t get done, just enjoy the fact that we are here together and that we love each other. I try to live life by this every day.

Experience

1. Partner and Owner

   MJ Recruiters

   Aug 2005 — Present

   I love to visit my clients face to face as often as I can, especially when they have a new opening. I am best known for dialing in on my client’s needs and assisting them in creating a plan to attract top talent. Our clients are impressed by the detailed intake process and are confident that I understand their needs once finished. I am an extension of them in the recruitment process. I am best suited for a company that wants to work with a recruiter exclusively and believes in the value of true partnerships. Why is MJ Recruiters different: 1. Call us resilient, but MJR will work a job until the end. No matter if we fill it or it is filled through another source.2. We will pick up the phone when you call, no answering service here3. You will love the detailed intake process and the thorough, in-depth presentation of candidates that usually answers all of your initial questions about the candidate. We ask a lot of questions!4. We want to fill your job as fast as we can and MJR will work with other recruiters to do it! The last three years, 22% of the placements that we make are with other recruiters in the Top Echelon network. We do not present many candidates. MJR is on target with the ones that we do present. Over the last five years 70% of the candidates that we present are interviewed and 31% of the candidates that interview onsite receive job offers. We have a high contingency search fill ratio. Over the last five years we have filled 63% of the contingent searches that we have worked on beating the industry average of 18-25%. We know our metrics!Would you like to partner with MJ Recruiters on your next search? Contact me to discuss our detailed process and to schedule a time for your position intake!
