Valley Mountain Staffing

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude! Thank you for being part of our journey. 🦃🍂 – The Valley Mountain Recruiting Team

Losing a highly invested team member in manufacturing can cost 6-9 months of productivity, plus morale hits, lost relationships, and stalled production. Keeping a great employee? Often a fraction of that via raises or promotions. Leaders, act before it's too late. Sometimes it's a strategic hire, sometimes a conversation. We're here to help retain your best.

We’re #hiring. Know anyone who might be interested?

If you're hiring for experienced manufacturing leaders, think about this... Almost every single candidate that we talk to initially is either: - Not actively seeking out a new role but, open to discussing an interesting opportunity that is presented to them. - Just started entertaining making a move but haven't started interviewing - Always willing to have a conversation with an industry recruiter because "you just never know" what can happen. The common pattern is that they aren't actively applying to jobs. And 9 times out of 10, these are the people our clients end up hiring. When we do talk to someone who has been actively applying, they almost NEVER have applied to our client's job ad and/or heard of them. Either because they didn't see the job ad, or it didn't capture their initial interest for one reason or another. Doesn't mean they wouldn't be interested once they have the full scoop. The right candidates are out there. But if they don't have exposure to your position/company, have all the info on the opportunity, or they don't think it will improve their situation then you won't have a chance at hiring them. Targeting, approach, conversation Leads to interest and engagement from the right candidates.

You receive an email from your HR Director with the subject line: RESIGNATION - 2 WEEK NOTICE. Before opening the email... - Which member of your staff do you want it to be (easiest to replace)... - Which member of your staff are you praying it is not... (Most difficult to replace) This simple exercise uncovers the hidden dynamics of your team. It is not just about filling seats; it is about recognizing irreplaceable contributors and investing in retention before notices arrive. Manufacturing leaders: Take a moment to reflect on your answers. What steps can you take today to protect your high-value talent? Share your thoughts or a quick story in the comments. Let us learn from each other.
