The Approach, According to Lindell

(or the rules of the game)

Unique Approach – Exceptional Results

needleinhaystackForget the old ways . . .

The first rule of the game is that resumes are worthless. While it is conceivable that you might find a needle in a haystack, you will never find the exact employee you want in a resume. All you see in a resume are basic ingredients, not the whole menu. For much the same reason, we never run ads. And finally, we don’t form a pool from the unemployed. A person may be unemployed through no fault of their own, but there is no way to measure their current capability and success. The point is, finding the right person for the right firm takes much more than flipping through resumes, placing ads, and maintaining a file on the jobless.

At Craig Lindell & Associates LLC, we commit to:

  • Providing our clients access to the key people at their competition
  • Assisting our clients to attract and hire champions, and/or their teams
  • Helping our clients capture market share, increase profitability, and maximize their bottom line
  • Upgrading talent when needed
  • Creating the culture required to retain top talent

If you are committed to hiring the best available talent, whether your requirements are local, national, or international—look no further—Craig Lindell & Associates LLC is the firm for you!

Here’s how we excel . .

We look for people who meet your requirements who aren’t looking for you. Because when you stop to think about it, why should people like that be looking for you, or anybody else? That’s the point, they’re not. Instead, they are already happily employed elsewhere. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t open to moving. My job is to find those people—the ones you would probably never get the chance to talk to otherwise. The ones you might not even know about. They are the people with the right stuff.

Then I start finding out what these people are really like and how they feel about where they are currently employed. If they meet the standards agreed upon, we begin talking to them about your firm, assessing their interest and willingness to make a move. If we believe the individual is right for you, the next step is to get them to agree to chat with you. If they agree, we connect you with them.

Our service will provide you with access to the best and brightest individuals in your industry. This will allow your firm to upgrade your staff and replace those who are lagging behind with strong performers who have an unwavering resolve to produce results. They are the change-agents who take companies from “Good to Great.”

Hi Craig,

Please feel free to use this for your website, linkedin, social media platforms, or anywhere for that matter.

Craig was an absolute joy to work with. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He gives sound advice and is such a kind and caring man. I am so thankful for making the connection with him. Craig changed my life for the better. I can’t thank him enough.

I also left a google review for you. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. It is the least I can do.

I am so happy at Paape Companies. The job is challenging but so rewarding. I feel like I fit in very well there. Everyone is so nice and Sharon and I think a lot alike so the training process has been great.

Thanks again for everything. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and I wish you a very Happy New Year.

Sincerely,
Nici Bruegger
