With the recent devastation on the East coast as a result of Hurricane Sandy, have your competitors lost product inventory or production abilities? Unfortunately many manufacturers have lost their inventory due to flooding. Building damages have left many additional industrial manufacturers without the ability to run production for months, if not longer. How has this affected your production sales?

We are already receiving calls from manufacturers who have had an increased production demand as a result of their competitors being unable to provide product to in-need clients. Are you prepared to accommodate any additional production volume that may come your way? Now is the time to prepare! Skilled technical manufacturing talent is hard to locate, it’s even harder to locate in a hurry. The caliber of employee needed to run multimillion dollar machinery is not something any hiring manager takes lightly. Now is the time to grow and expand your talent pool, before you lose the business to a competitor! Before adding technical manufacturing workers to your staff consider the following:

• Make sure they are able to pass skills based testing, relevant to the position you’re hiring for.
• Make sure they have experience with your materials, machinery, and programs. Learning to adapt, even for an experienced worker can be difficult to do quickly.
• Complete thorough background and reference checks. With the current demand for experienced CNC and other technical manufacturing related talent; strong talent is not often unemployed for long.
• Get the specifics on their work history. Are they experienced in multiple changeovers? Are the tolerances they have worked with in the past within reason for your product line?
