Overall it was a successful process. I felt like it was an imperfect process, but part of that was driven on our end as we shifted the goal posts on what we were looking for. The piece that I wish would have been understood sooner was how important in-person was for us. I felt we communicated how important it was for boots on the ground on a continuous basis and many of the candidates were hesitant to be onsite often. A recommendation I would have to any candidate looking for a job in manufacturing, waste services, or any other business that has a heavy blue color work force is: you will not be taken serious as a candidate by many employers if you expect to work at home while a significant number of employees that work for the company roll their sleeves up and get dirty on a daily basis.

Chief People Officer, Banking / Financial Services
They were fantastic. We had feedback on the first interview / first slate that candidates were too customer success / not enough sales, and the next slate was spot-on. We had 3 candidates at the end where we felt like we couldn’t go wrong. Great experience with them.
Human Resources Manager, Construction / Building Systems Manufacturing
We had a great experience working with Alex. He was easy to work with, kept us informed throughout the process, and did a great job understanding what we were looking for. We’re excited to have our new hire on the team! We appreciate SkyWater partnering with us, and I look forward to working together again in the future.
VP of HR & Organizational Development, Manufacturing / Metal Fabrication
I cannot express enough gratitude that I have with the work that Danille has done with filling needed positions. The Washington, IL position has been a hard one to fill/keep, and Danielle listened to our concerns, needs, expectations – provided very good feedback and asked us awesome questions. Without her assistance and her ability to bring in people that fit BTD – we would possibly still be looking for a candidate. In the few days that our new hire has been with us – she is showing the alignment of everything that we were looking for. Danielle is the best!!!!! She keeps the energy level high, works well at all levels of our company leadership and we truly feel she cares about our business and our needs. She also worked hard to help us fill our Director of Learning and Development position in Lakeville and I know she will work just as hard on our L&D Leader role in Lakeville. You have an AWESOME employee working for you!
Chief Operating Officer, Investment Due Diligence

Working with Georgie has been great. We are delighted to have our new hire on our team. She started with us on Monday and has hit the ground running. Plus she is a fantastic human being. We’re very fortunate to have her with us, and to have good partners like Skywater working with us. I’ve got nothing but good things to say.
