Rhoads Metal Works Inc’s Post

Jennifer Rumsey Celeste Monty Steve Ernest Cummins Inc. Jacobs Vehicle Systems So, there are times where #recruiters and #humanresources wonder why job candidates get riled up at the #ghosting that occurs. Look no further that the horrifying treatment I received from Cummins / Jacobs Vehicle in Bloomfield CT today. Passed my phone interview and Iniki Robert’s tells me she wants me on-site for an in person interview Monday 10am March 25th. I accept and agreed to the company physical (required) for their location So I do my research, prepare for my interview, show up 5 minutes early, dressed in shirt and tie / shined shoes End result, the only person who would speak to me (or did any work at all was the security/receptionist) at the front desk It appears that even though the company felt I was a stellar fit and provided electrical and mechanical knowledge (at least an understanding of metal, wiring, mechanical design)…I was not good enough to even greet at the front door I’m going to continue to be a job seekers advocate…EXPOSING the really bad places so that others don’t get caught up in horrible working environments They don’t need me as a Purchasing Clerk (although I’d have been great at it). Cummins / Jacobs Vehicle needs me for a much HIGHER role ORGANIZING and controlling company workflow, oversight of employees (who all felt they were too good to meet with the very person they asked to show up) Executive level / President level control of the building I saw would be more reasonable. Based upon the lack of cleanliness of the property, the overgrowth of shrubs hiding the entrance from the parking area…some much needed decision making authority at a senior level is needed there I have sent an INVOICE to the CEO of Cummins with my E-mail communication. I expect to be paid for the time involved and invested is this less than adequate organization You DO NOT ask someone to interview with you and then refuse to meet them!! It says everything you need to know about Cummins. If that is the “quality” of their organization….then is the quality of their product similar to what I experienced today? As a prospective employee…I’m the “customer” you have asked to meet with. Many places at least offer bottled water, coffee or a notepad with company logo Cummins appears to be a bottom tier organization…and prospective job seekers need to know that for the future

Customer interview: Bob Posch, Plant Director at Cobra Anchors (USA) "Cobra’s First Nedschroef Boltmaker: Excellence from Start to Finish". Question for Bob: Can you tell us something about your company 'Cobra Anchors'? Answer: Cobra Anchors was founded in 1973 in Montreal Canada. Cobra is one of the largest manufacturers of hollow-wall and masonry anchors in North America. The Temple plant in Pennsylvaniawas added in 1992. Cobra serves and sells it products in over 14,000 retail stores across the world: United States, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Kingdom, South Korea, France, Germany and Canada. Cobra has introduced more patented and value-added products than any other anchor manufacturer in North America. That is over 22 worldwide owned patented products Innovation is the key factor that makes Cobra a leader in its class. Cobra Temple manufactures Parawedge Expansion Anchors, Drive Nail Anchors, Cobra Tork Hex Flange Bolts and Tapping Screws. Cobra Montreal manufactures Zinc and Plastic Hollow Wall anchors using state of the art injection molding and zinc die casting equipment. They are also a leader in product packaging. Both plants utilize state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques to supply high quality products to the end user. Question for Bob: What machine did your company buy and what was the main reason for purchasing a Nedschroef Machine? Answer: Cobra purchased the NB522L. The machine has the capability to cold form our Parawedge Expansion anchor parabolic curve which is critical to the performance of the product. It also allows Cobra to manufacture high quality Hex Flange bolts.   Question for Bob: How would you describe the experience of working with Nedschroef Machinery? Answer: Cobra’s experience has been excellent. From pre purchase of the machine to final delivery, all aspects of what is required to manufacture product was clearly explained. All Nedschroef employee’s involved in our machine were professional and very experienced in the cold forming field. Since this is our first Nedschroef Boltmaker, their assistance has been highly valued by our employees. Question:  How would you summarize a Nedschroef machine in three words? Answer: World Class Manufacturing #Boltmaker #NedschroefMachinery #BuiltToPerform #coldforming #interview #customerinterview #bestboltmakersintheworld

No matter what your industry or trade, it’s critical to always be evaluating ways of improving workflows and efficiencies, enhancing worker safety and advancing environmental objectives if you are to keep pace with or stay one step ahead of the competition. We were reminded of this recently when we decided to evaluate the use of rebar tying guns by our crew. We recently placed and fixed approximately 10-tonnes of reo into two identical OSD tank bases, one via the conventional method and the other with the assistance of a rebar tying gun. Our crew made meaningful gains both in terms of the time spent tying, as well as how easy they find the process. This is thanks not only to an >8-fold reduction in time required to complete a given tying job, but also by virtue of largely eliminating the need to constantly bend down to wrap and cut the tie wires around the steel. They require less wire per tie too, which really adds up when you are doing hundreds/thousands of ties a day. Adopting these tools has lead to a measurable increase in productivity, delivering a bankable improvement in the amount of steel placed per hour, as well as a reduction in the associated wire waste, and has also helped to reduce the kind of repetitive stress our crew members must endure on site. We now get more work done, more efficiently, and in less time and/or with less personnel, which has enhanced our ability to more competitively price prospective jobs.

In the last 6 years, while providing recruitment services for the #autocomponent manufacturing sector, we've noticed a common oversight: Candidates' arrival is often not prioritized when they come for interviews. Even if a candidate gets selected and offered a job, they might reject it due to the poor first impression created during their interview experience. They think, "If I'm treated like this now, how will it be when I'm working here long-term?" This isn't just an issue in the auto-component manufacturing industry. It's a wake-up call for all industries. The onboarding experience starts from the moment a candidate steps into your facility. Employers, take note: - Make candidates feel welcome and valued. - Show them that their time is as valuable as yours. - Ensure interviews start on time and candidates aren't left waiting. A little attention to these details can go a long way in attracting and retaining top talent. Let's prioritize the candidate experience and make a positive first impression.
