Matt said that NPA's member engagement specialist Kara Russell introduced he and Joy via email when she joined and they had a phone conversation.
"Honestly, I didn't expect a split between us in the short term because I am importer and I could tell she was so busy with her own jobs, she really hadn't even had a chance to get up to speed with NPA, its network, offering etc.," Matt said. "But when I got a large number of health care jobs in New Jersey, I knew that was Joy's industry and geographic area of focus so I reached back out. It was good that we had already established a relationship and hit the ground running. She quickly sent me some Operating Room Nursing candidates and we were able to place one of them pretty quickly. I look forward to other placements with Joy and the whole healthcare team! I am up to 2 splits this week alone and waiting on others offers to be accepted so maybe more and I couldn't do any of it without NPA partners as I am only an importer for now!"
Great job reaching out and developing that relationship ahead of time, so you were able to rely on each other when your client needed assistance!
