Regional Recruiter | Mid-South Region | Live With Integrity

I get asked a lot about our #culture and how we have grown from a small hardware store in Winona, MN to the 7.2 billion dollar company Fastenal is today. Getting a little bit personal here… I am one of those people Daniel Florness talks about here. Starting out as a #parttime Sales Support in the middle of a career shift away from #tradework … I thought of Fastenal as a #resumebuilder and a #careergapfiller initially. Sometimes a job is a job, right? 6 years later (almost to the day) I am a #leader of our #recruiting operations for 6 states, work with the best #team of highly #talented leaders from very #diverse work backgrounds, and have been able to #upskill and #train into roles I never thought I would step into… all without having to skip from company to company. The best advice I can give… find a company that invests in YOU, not just financially… but with quality #training that will allow you to truly #findyourfuture.

Asked why Fastenal has had decades of success, Daniel Florness has plenty of options for an answer. But he boils it down to our people. In summary: We’re really good at finding great people early in their career and giving them a reason to stay. Hear the whole conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dPdH-wRN
