Propeller Talent

25 years. ❤️ "We are getting really good responses to our 25th-year email. People are really impressed by this. We have to remind ourselves it’s a big deal." 1. Thank you for the gracious notes from so many of you. We love what we do, and the messages are the icing on the cake. 2. We made a point not to label it a celebration or an anniversary. It’s not that we don’t know how to have fun. But when it comes to celebrating our 25 years in business, we want to talk about our dedication to our clients and our focus on what we do best: finding the best leaders in manufacturing and industrial services. 25 years. Time flies when you're having fun. #grateful #25years #privateequity #retainedsearch #manufacturing #industrialservices #exeutiveleadership Jay D.

Teens 😳 But we get it. Our Private Equity clients are laser-focused during the Due Diligence Process. That's why they turn to us as a #resource. That includes providing a helpful Propeller Talent Market Snapshot. This useful tool lets them see what's happening in a given market. - Is there CEO-caliber executive talent within a 50-mile radius? - What if we expand the search to include ancillary manufacturing or service options? - Is a reallocation budget something to plan for? This work matters because it helps them make better decisions across the board. Use us as a resource, or better yet, work with us. #wearethebestpeopletofindthebestpeople #privateequity #resource #executiveleadership #retainedsearch Jay D.

🏌♂️ Caddying for his son or 🎣 going fishing? These are the tough decisions you have to make in retirement. Just ask Peter Herb Fristam Pumps USA, President Peter Herb recently enjoyed his first full day of retirement. During his tenure as President of Fristam Pumps USA, he created a culture that celebrates hard work not with words but actions, inspired true passion and pride for the products they manufacture, and led the team with innovation after innovation in the food, beverage, and personal care products categories. 🎉 Congratulations, Pete! We are in awe of your accomplishments and so fortunate to have helped bring on your successor. Enjoy your well-earned retirement! #retirementgoals #culture #executiveleadership #retainedsearch #manufacturing #industrialservices #madeinWI Jay D.

What's today? Yes. It's Friday, Oct. 4th. For those in the know, it's even better. It's MFG DAY! 🎉 Aka Manufacturing Day. Here's another fun fact: the entire MONTH OF OCTOBER is dedicated to Manufacturing! From the MFGDay.com website, "MFG Day—Manufacturing Day—is a national grassroots movement demonstrating the reality and future of modern manufacturing careers. Thousands of companies and educational institutions nationwide are invited to open their doors to students, parents, educators and community leaders." Propeller Talent is excited to help build excitement about manufacturing careers, support communities, and help future generations thrive in the industry we are most passionate about. #manufacturing #industrialservices #privateequity #manufacturingday DFW Women's Manufacturing Network Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) Women in Manufacturing Texas Manufacturing Day Jay D.

MANUFACTURING IS SEXY Don’t believe us? Go to manufacturingissexy.com From the Smooth Operators to the Lean Machines, the site says it better than we could: “It’s a movement. It’s a celebration. It’s how we’re changing the misconceptions, the myths, and the mistaken assumptions about manufacturing.” Less than one year ago, we changed both our name and focus to exclusively serve the clients and businesses we know best: Manufacturing and Industrial Services. At Propeller Talent, we are MORE than a retained search firm. We are a resource and partner to Manufacturing and Industrial Services. From learning about the sleek and powerful equipment to understanding the talents and roles of an  ENTIRE org chart, not just the seats on top - this is what we do. We know this business sector better than anyone, and in turn, we know how to find the leaders of those businesses. It's pretty sexy stuff if you ask us. We're The Best People To Find The Best People. Let's talk! https://lnkd.in/ghqXzcCF #manufacturing #industrials #retainedsearch #executiverecruiting #ontheroadagain #25yearsinbusiness #privateequity Jay D.

Propeller Talent is about to celebrate 2️⃣ 5️⃣ years in business. More to come on that in future posts, but with our share of “rodeos,” this much we’ve learned over the past 25 + years: Innovation, technology, and tools have come, evolved, and upped the game for recruitment and talent sourcing. What has never changed? Our ability to stay relevant for our clients and continue to provide them with THE BEST TALENT for their business. How do we outwork AI, algorithms, smart sourcing technology, etc.? We are pragmatists who use those tools to be more agile than ever. This frees us up so we can put in the real work 💪 . 🚪 That work involves meeting you at your door, connecting with your leadership team, walking your manufacturing floor, understanding what behaviors allow your team to thrive, and ultimately recruiting the best talent. This hands-on approach sets us apart and keeps us in tune with the real needs of our clients. When everyone else relies solely on data, you can rely on Propeller Talent. Put us to the test. We’ll happily come to you.

UNDAUNTED The word is printed across the team’s pre-game t-shirts—more accurately, OUR Milwaukee Brewers team’s t-shirts. Propeller Talent's roots are in #Milwaukee, and watching them win the NL Central Division championship this past week is a testament to our team's success, regardless of the setbacks that may come. Every business, including our own, has its share of setbacks. And that is why UNDAUNTED is so appropriate. As Forbes author, Andrew Wagner, writes, "The more this team is counted out, the better they seem to respond.” We feel the same way at Propeller Talent: we put our heads down and put in the work. ⚾ Wishing our Milwaukee Brewers the best of luck with the post-season play-offs, as with all our colleagues and clients headed into the remainder of the year! #putinthework #cheeringyouon #undaunted #privateequity #M&A #manufacturing #leadershiprecruiting #retainedtalent #csuiteleveltalent #CEOs Heather Forston Alberti Jay D.
