Professionals
While I was employed with Adecco staffing agency, Shawn hired my company
to fill open positions within Carpenter Co during the peak production
seasons. Shawn was a pleasure to work with. He worked closely with me to
forecast his staffing needs. He gave clear expectations of what was
needed from the associates and was able to give constructive criticism on
associates hired to work with him. He reported all hours worked by my
associates in a timely manner and was given high remarks by my associates
working for him. His leadership skills were impeccable and Shawn could
often be found working the lines with his employees. Shawn excelled as
the branch manager, worked well under pressure and was able to utilize
his resources to be successful. Along with the professional relationship,
Shawn was a kind person to work with and truly connected with all who
came into contact with him.
