The simple economic realities of the 21st century offer employers a brief but extraordinary opportunity. BOLT’s Joanne Sanders and Lisa Scanlon were invited by the Santa Rosa Job Link to participate in a job fair on behalf of Brooks Automation employees.
Brooks is relocating their cryogenic equipment manufacturing operations from Petaluma to Malaysia. As a result, employees with extraordinary reliability and skills will be available to savvy employers who know an opportunity when they see one.
“We have people whose hire dates go back as far as the early 1980s,” says Joanne. Skills range from easily translatable talents like buyers and manufacturing leads, to highly skilled machinists. “The common element that struck us was the loyalty and dedication of these people,” she says. “Many are remaining with the company to the very end despite having known for almost two years that the move was coming. When you combine that with the long term nature of their employment with Brooks, we feel as though we were invited to a talent gold mine!”
These nuggets won’t last long, but for the astute there is a rare chance to cherry pick the finest talent in the area at a time when recruiting is becoming more challenging. If you’re among those who recognize a first class opportunity when you see it, call us now! These folks won’t last.
