MICHAEL THE CANDIDATES THOUGHTS

"I would like to sincerely thank you for your professionalism and excellent communication in coordinating with the folks from Terry's on my behalf.

OUR THOUGHTS ON THE SEARCH

Terry’s Machine had a very urgent need for a Quality Director to join their machined components business. They had a major quality audit upcoming, and without a competent QD to lead them through it, they had concerns about a potential failure. The president was covering in the interim, but they needed a QD quickly. Michael was immediately the front-runner based on his experience, commutable nature, and cultural fit to the business.
