Human Resources Veteran Joins MPS Technical Staffing Agency As New President

Feb. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- St. Paul, MN - http://www.mpstechnical.com- MPS Technical, a premier staffing and employment agency serving manufacturing companies in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, has appointed human resources industry veteran, Jim Carrier, as its new president.

Carrier comes to MPS Technical with more than 30 years of experience in the HR industry.  Most recently, he was Director of Human Resources at a leading medical device manufacturing company in New Brighton, MN.

"Having Jim on board really gives us an advantage," said Bruce Moffat, CEO, MPS Technical.  "Jim's previous experience as a staffing services buyer - in one of our target industries - allows us to really position ourselves as a company that thinks like our buyers."

Carrier's 30 years of HR leadership include manufacturing companies that specialize in technology driven products such as medical devices and telecommunications.  He has six plant start-ups to his credit, including Schindler Elevator Corporation’s escalator division in North Carolina, which earned Industry Week Magazine’s prestigious “America’s Best Plant” award.  

As president of MPS Technical, Carrier hopes to echo the "voice of the customer", carrying it into all aspects of sourcing, selection and placement processes.  Moreover, he seeks to build long-term organizational value for its ownership and achieve "preferred employer" status by implementing best practices in career development planning for MPS sourcing and sales professionals.    

"Making the switch from services buyer to services provider after 30 years was a rare opportunity to leverage a career of HR leadership experience in staffing," said Jim Carrier, President, MPS Technical.  “It will be an exciting challenge to both refresh and invert my professional paradigm and to do it with a company I really believe in!”
