Leading the Way in Direct Hire Recruiting
Recruiters are essential in shaping a company's workforce by bridging the gap between potential candidates and the organization. They carefully align the needs of both parties to ensure successful placements through sourcing, screening, and selection. This strategic approach bolsters company growth while helping individuals find careers that align with their goals. Now, let's discover how Jason Mitchell, our Manager of Direct Hire Recruiting, uses his experience and passion to make meaningful connections, influencing organizational growth and culture.
A Path to Recruitment Excellence
Meet Jason Mitchell, ITS's Manager of Direct Hire Recruiting. With a Bachelor of Science from the University of Toledo and a sharp knack for building strong professional relationships, Jason excels in the manufacturing and finance industries. He brings a strategic approach, deep staffing knowledge, and a dedication to client needs, making him an invaluable recruiter. His relentless attention to detail and ability to connect with diverse personalities truly set him apart in the field.
A Fortuitous Shift from Banking to Recruiting
Jason's recruiting career began by chance, "They always say that you fall into recruiting, and that's how I started." He transitioned from banking during the real estate market downturn after a colleague recognized his potential and invited him to lead a new permanent placement division, leveraging his talent for finding and placing top candidates. This serendipitous move marked the start of a fulfilling career, where he thrived by blending his prior industry expertise with a natural ability to understand the needs of both clients and candidates.
Embracing Company Values and Innovative Practices
Jason identifies strongly with ITS's unwavering focus on putting customers first. He admires the company's dedication to incorporating new technologies and strategies that align with his values of flexibility, creativity, and commitment to outstanding customer service. "From the first day that I met with ITS, it was very apparent that they were serious about doing what's best for our customers." Jason thrives on ITS's openness to innovation and excellence.
Leadership and Continuous Improvement
For Jason, ITS's management team is notable for their inclusive leadership, actively encouraging staff input while fostering growth. Their collaborative style resonates with his values, as Jason appreciates problem-solving and thrives on open communication and continuous improvement. He believes that a culture of learning and listening within the management team inspires innovation and adaptability, empowering him and his colleagues to consistently elevate their skills. This alignment has cultivated an environment where constructive feedback and collaboration are at the forefront, enabling both individual and organizational progress.
Looking for the Perfect Match: Skills and Culture
When selecting candidates, Jason emphasizes the importance of cultural fit alongside technical skills. He approaches clients with the same thoroughness, digging deep to understand their company culture and needs, ensuring he finds the right professionals who will thrive and make a meaningful impact. "We always have in-depth conversations to get to know the client's culture and needs as much as possible. Finding key details as to the type of professional who will thrive in the role is important."
Beyond the Professional
Away from his recruiting role, Jason's life is full of activity and flavor. As a supportive dad, he enjoys driving his children to their sports activities, "I'm basically an Uber driver for my kids." But he also finds tremendous joy in cooking. His adventurous palate drives him to experiment with diverse cooking techniques; whether it's grilling, frying, baking, or sous vide, he's always searching for exciting new recipes to try.
Staying Ahead
Staying current in recruiting requires adaptability, and Jason's insatiable curiosity keeps him on top of the latest trends. "I enjoy data and trying to anticipate trends. In order to keep up with trends, you must always read and be curious." He continuously seeks new insights through business publications, economic data, and discussions with peers. "Asking professional peers (especially those directly affected) for their thoughts helps provide clearer pictures of what's currently going on and how it will affect the market moving forward." This approach ensures that Jason remains ahead of industry shifts, ready to navigate the ever-evolving market.
