JLW & Associates Career Placement, LLC

"There's so much more to a successful placement than meets the eye." - Jennifer Willard, Recruiting Specialist

Jennifer Willard, JLW's founder and a recruiting specialist, has 13 years experience searching out just the right sales, sales management and marketing candidates. JLW's strength is working intensively with both local companies and local branches of national companies - from startups to Fortune 500 powerhouses - that meet JLW's own set of criteria.

"Our focus is placing sales and marketing professionals into permanent career positions," Willard notes. "We select our client companies by industry, growth potential, profitability and reputation in order to provide a solid career path for our candidates. There's so much more to a successful placement than meets the eye."

Four Sacramento executives explain why they're satisfied clients:

Brad Muncer, the busy Northern California Direct Sales Manager for SPRINT PCS, says JLW "doesn't waste my time" when he requests candidates for outside, business-to-business sales representative positions. "I noticed the difference right away." Muncer now works with JLW exclusively.

Boise Cascade Office Products District Sales Manager Rita Chamberlain, who has used JLW's services for two years, says that Willard is sensitive to her busy work schedule: "she's very patient and doesn't give up." Chamberlain says Willard has an "understanding of our local needs... she sends only people who will fit in... It is a partnership, and we celebrate our good matches."

Greg Miller, now Director of Sales for ICG Communications, reminisces, "Jennifer tried to recruit me when I was in the job market," but he had just signed on with ICG as its Sacramento sales manager. Miller says, "I had an empty office... I needed eight outside sales people." Since June 1997, Miller has hired six candidates sent by JLW. "Jennifer spares us agony by reviewing and sending only qualified candidates... she's very good at uncovering desire-oriented people," he states. He lauds Willard's business ethics, saying, "she doesn't recruit from organizations she places people into."

Stacie Smith, formerly with Cort/Evans Furniture, now director of new business sales at Western Contract Furnishers, remembers that "before Jennifer began working for me as a recruiter, she took a sincere interest in our company, my management style and how Cort/Evans treated their customers. Jennifer respected my time by bringing to our company the most qualified candidates. She treated me like I was her only customer."

"As an outsourcing partner, we help business managers meet their goals. That means understanding their needs by careful listening and selective recruiting. We provide top companies with the finest candidates," Willard sums up.
