Greetings!

This time of year, many employers are rushing to fill jobs before Thanksgiving. But keeping up with recruiting can be a challenge. I call it the "Stack-o-Resumes" problem. And now we have a solution for you.  

Try our new Job Posting Service. For a simple flat fee, we'll post your ad, plow through the giant stack of resumes and forward you the ones you want. We can even help you schedule interviews.  

We have the staff, the tools and the processes to quickly sort through 500 resumes to pick out the 5 great ones. We can do in days what might take you weeks to do on your own. Email me for details...or you could just bring all those resumes with you to Thanksgiving dinner.    

As VP, Human Resources, you will serve the needs of approximately 200 employees, report to the SVP/CFO, and have a staff of three: Employment Manager, Benefits Manager, and HR Associate, also collaborating closely with General Counsel. Your advice will not be filtered through someone else; we will look to you to tell us what we need to know, and you will have a seat at the table when issues are decided. 

WETA needs someone well versed in the compliance and technical aspects of HR and understands how to be an internal resource and counselor as well.

The rest will be driving big initiatives in benefits plan design, balancing internal equity considerations with market realities of recruiting and fair compensation as our workforce changes. As the media industry shifts into the digital age, we need someone who is fair and just to lead us wisely. More ...
