Paul Hemmer Company’s Post

Over 5 years ago Kevin J. MacKillop joined us to start a Milwaukee office for Spark Talent Acquisition, Inc. Kev, Fletcher Kundtz and I like to joke that we recruited him for a decade starting back when we were all Walsh College. Fast forward 5 plus years to when he started and it’s crazy to think all that’s happened/ been accomplished. Kev thank you for trusting in our mission, vision, and ultimately in us. Trust has been the foundation that’s led us to this day and both Fletch and I are grateful for you believing in what we are doing and believing in us. Now to brag on Kevin for a minute. One of our core values is conquering adversity is the recipe to success. Kevin embodies this. ✔️Starting a new market organic is one of the toughest things you can do. ✔️Embracing our infrastructure changed in 2020 took a lot of trust in what we are doing. ✔️Converting Packaging related relationships to Spark Packaging in 2021 and joining the board for the company is another example of putting the mission first and trusting what we are building. ✔️Overcame personal challenges that came up and is thriving in this area with his new beautiful bride @wellingsaround. ✔️Kevin has made a huge impact on the growth of Spark Talent and our RPS business unit which has exploded in growth over the last 3 years. ✔️Kevin trusted the mission and vision again by bringing in a day to day leader to best service our customer and team. You will see a common theme here. Kevin is someone who has stuck with things, overcame adversity, and continues to become better every day. He prioritizes his family, his health, and the service that he provides to his clients & his teammates. He is another perfect example of an intrepreneur that within our portfolio of companies is stepping into the entrepreneur role. Kev I couldn’t be more excited for you and for what’s ahead. Everything about it will be hard, but it’s also going to make what’s already a great story even better. Keep attacking ⚡️🧱 JWU #recruiting #staffing #growth #intrapreneur #entrepreneur

VICE Media, a company thoroughly plundered by private equity and greedy salesmen masquerading as leaders, is (was?) also a company with hundreds of people actually trying to do right by the idea of human-focused, original reporting. This weekend, more Vice employees are forced to wait through the weekend for their layoff status, as mass layoffs have been confirmed (again). You'd think that founders, assuming the purpose of Vice is about the business, not the personal wealth, would be there to deliver news and support. (From the linked article) "And close watchers of the company continue to wonder: Where has Smith, who remains Vice’s executive chairman, gone? And, more to the point, how much cash did he extract from Vice?" *More than 100 million Dollars* Take the money and run. The purpose of a system is what it does. https://lnkd.in/gEGu8yVb
