GDI Consulting & Training Company announces plans to expand its Executive Recruiting Practice for the manufacturing & distribution industries.

Corona, California, and Suffolk, Virginia, May 5, 2015

Alan Dunn, Founder and President of GDI Consulting & Training Company, recently announced plans to expand its growing Executive Recruiting Practice.  The Practice specializes in retained searches for mid to senior level technical and managerial positions, including “C Suite” and Board of Director level positions.  The Recruiting Practice is dedicated exclusively to the manufacturing and distribution industries.

According to Mr. Dunn: “GDI has invested heavily in research over the past six years to develop a proprietary methodology to source and evaluate the best possible candidates for our clients.  We know how to hire great talent faster and better than anyone else does.  Ours is the only recruiting practice in the world that is built on a deep knowledge base of manufacturing and distribution.  We’re different – we know manufacturing and distribution to its very core.”

As a measure of its commitment to this Practice, GDI is adding additional staff.  This includes executives who have immense knowledge of manufacturing and distribution, executive recruiting, organizational development, and enterprise value creation.  Steven Kirkpatrick has been appointed as Director of Recruiting.  Christopher Rios has also joined the firm as an Associate Consultant, to assist in the expansion of this Practice.

As explained by Mr. Dunn, “The most important responsibility of any executive is hiring the right people.  Now more than ever, executives need a proven framework – something that really works – to eliminate uncertainty in the hiring process.  In an increasingly competitive global economy, manufacturing firms cannot achieve success without retaining the finest talent available. By working with GDI, our clients minimize the risk of hiring the wrong person for a key position, which can be one of the biggest, most expensive mistakes anyone can make.”

When asked about the benefits that manufacturing and distribution firms could achieve by utilizing the services of GDI’s expanded Recruiting Practice, Mr. Kirkpatrick cited four reasons:

Knowledge … We have the expertise and knowledge to assess the REAL needs of our clients based on decades of experience working with manufacturing and distribution companies to achieve dramatic performance improvements from the factory floor to the boardroom.

Commitment … GDI is, and has always been, committed solely and exclusively to the manufacturing and distribution industries in all areas of our business.

Collaboration … Our Recruiting Practice thrives on collaboration.  We work closely with our clients, using our proprietary tools, to dig deeply into the specific professional competencies and personal characteristics that enable us to identify the right candidates… the first time.

Economic … We have all heard stories about hiring mistakes that cost companies millions of dollars. By working with GDI, you greatly reduce the risk of hiring disappointments.

Mr. Dunn added, “GDI’s Executive Recruiting Practice is an essential resource for the manufacturing and distribution industries.  We are presently developing a new website, client and candidate portals, and other resources focused on our Recruiting Practice.  Hiring managers, executives, and board members are invited to contact us for more information.  Prospective candidates are also encouraged to contact us about how we can help with their career goals.”
