Katie Murray (NPA #3881) of Hire Quality Strategies in Madison Heights, MI, USA, has made the firm’s first split placement with Rene Abgrall (NPA #7399) of Rene Abgrall Recruiting in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Katie placed Rene’s candidate, a Furnace Maintenance Tech in the Machinery/Heavy Equipment Industry in the US.
 
Katie explains how the deal came about: "I was lucky enough to meet Rene when he responded to a job posting I had in NPA.  He immediately found me multiple candidates that fit the specific criteria we were searching for.  Not only was he professional and prompt, but he was a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, as we neared a decision and an offer on that position, the role was put on hold indefinitely when the pandemic hit.  When I had another placement I needed help on this summer, I immediately thought of Rene. Just like before, he found me exceptional candidates and in record time.  In less than two weeks’ time we had the candidate interviewed and an offer extended. I’m looking forward to many more successful placements with Rene!"
 
Rene added: "Katie is great work with, she is very responsive and keeps me updated throughout the whole process, this happened so fast, but we had the right candidate at the right time for the right job, it was so seamless, I wish more searches were like this! I look forward to making more splits with Katie in the near future as well!"
 
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! Great job, Katie and Rene.
