Paige Semmel (NPA #2130) has made her first split placement since joining the staff of Hardage Group in Dyersburg, TN, USA.
Paige placed a Program Manager in the Automotive Industry, provided by Preetha Balan (NPA #8385) of Roljobs Technology Services Pvt Ltd in India.
 
Paige explains how the deal came about: "They say you never forget your first...SPLIT!  What a heart pounding, thrill seeking, rollercoaster of a ride!  Preetha Balan began sending candidates to me after I posted my first jobs on NPA.  She has always been thorough when providing information about candidates.  I don’t remember which job was the first one that she reached out to me offering to assist, but there have been plenty of email exchanges between us since! 
"In February I posted a job for a Program Manager.  She very quickly produced two EXCELLENT candidates, we shall call them A and B.  A and B were neck and neck from the beginning to the end of the entire interview / hiring process.  In the end an offer was extended to A, a bit to my surprise, I might add!  Well, literally within 3 minutes of posting the split on NPA (I AM known for my exaggerations, however, this is not one of them!) I received an email from A saying he decided to take another job when his start date was just over a week away!  I immediately reached out to the hiring manager and to Candidate B who fortunately was still available and interested!  An offer was extended and accepted; same amount, same exporter!"
 
That truly is a rollercoaster! Great job sticking with it and closing this deal!
