Ken Paul goes Permanent with…

Ken found CPGworks through a Financial firm that he was using who knew of our services and recommended us to assist him to find a new job. In fact, when Ken walked through our doors, it was only an hour after A.F. Wholesale Insulation had called us for someone for a driver/warehouse position.

Ken really likes being a driver and working in the warehouse field, so with that being said… he let me know where he see’s himself going and what he was willing to do to get there. He knew he might have to start at the bottom but as long as he could see a future he didn’t mind starting there. This shy quiet fellow really opened up and let me know what his expectations were and his willingness to get there. He struck me as your all round, hard working, eager to get started type of guy. You just knew that he would show up, work hard and feel good at the end of day.

I arranged an interview for that afternoon. I told Russ, “Look, if this interview doesn’t pan-out, I will find you someone else, but,I am very confident you will love this guy.” He said, “Ok, let’s give it a shot.” Russ met Ken, and as soon as Ken left the building, Russ called and said,”Stop the search” we have our guy in Ken. He is starting on Monday.” Ken gave his final notice to the company he was with (which was closing down that operation within days) and he started several days later. Every time I call on Ken or Russ to see how its going, they all sound happy and content. Working between 45-50 hours a week with more to come in overtime come summer.

As of this week, he surpassed his hours and is officially going to start permanent at A.F.Wholesale on Monday. He will get his raise, health benefits, vacation & holiday pay. As Russ said about Ken, ” He is a keeper.” Great job Ken!
Russ said to me regarding the placement, “I will definitely be back and lets keep in touch, you did great with Ken and I will use you again.” YEA everyone is HAPPY!

I want to make a side comment to all this….. we work as a team…. its nice that we can do that and not be so cut throat….. Real referred Ken to me and I was able to place him at Jeremy’s client company…. this was real team work!!!!!!!
