Finally, some headhunters are calling

Finally...some headhunters are starting to call

At long last I think the word has gotten on the street: there's a new in-house recruiter at TriMedx and he used to be on the outside...and now the phone starts to ring.
When I was in the third-party recruiting role, AKA a "headhunter" I never took pleasure or found success in calling on corporate recruiters to solicit job orders. If that corporate guy happened to be a former third-party guy, then I definitely never called him/her. The way I saw it, people in the talent-acquisition role were sort of a competitor to me and really didn't have enough in common with my desired outcome to be someone I wanted involved in how I made a living. So, I just tried to avoid the in-house guy all together unless I was directed to speak with him by a hiring manager. Even then, if I didn't have a good relationship with the hiring manager, I usually just avoided it all together. But, when a hiring manager was interested in my candidate, had done an initial phone interview, and then directed me over to the in-house recruiter, well that was a whole different story. Still, however, I made it a point to put some distance between me and the in-house guy - I made friends with them, after the fact, but not as a means to getting in to the mix.

Now that I'm an in-house guy, I see it almost as a fault if a third-party guy approaches me as a means to getting a job order. It's an indicator of the level of the player. But, this fits in with my theory that people around you are revealing all kinds of things about themselves, all the time. Mostly, people don't even know that they're communicating when they are. But, if you tune in to the right frequency, you can pick up all kinds of signals.

So, third party guys, the couple of dozen who've checked me out on Linked-In, and even read my skrinkly little blog - are you really sure I'm the right guy to be calling?

Hats, Hats, and four more hats...and some jobs

Two topics today. First, hats. When I think of "hats" the first thing that comes to mind is Minnie Pearl. This is not an article about her. But, it's a funny way to start a post for a Friday. This is about the Six Hats Thinking method, created by Edward de Bono. I just discovered it and spent about an hour reading and strangely enough, thinking about it. If you find yourself spending a lot of time thinking about things, as I clearly do, then this little meta-tool might be just the thing for you. You can apply it to a host of thigns that you do in your life to examine and consider things from a variety of angeles without worrying about getting lost in your own thoughts or having an ADHD/ADD moment.

Now the actual reason for this post is of course about TriMedx. We're still hiring - but we're being pretty selective, yet still. Now I'm working on a Sourcing Specialist, a Support Specialist, BMETs, Imaging Technicians, Clinical Engineering Manager(s), and a couple more. Most of it surrounds biomedical equipment technician stuff. But, the sourcing specialist has to be the collest job among them. It's a job for a BMET who wants to work more in a business setting than in a clinical field. Since I try to be a smart-cookie, I'm not going to mention the exact compensation range. But, I will say that within its space, I think it's pretty generous.

So, that's all I have for the day. Happy Friday and go check in to those hats.

Los Angeles - Moving the plan ahead

So TriMedx is trucking along with our integration plans in greater Los Angeles.

I posted a Clinical Engineering Manager opportunity job in Los Angeles today on Linked In. It's for someone with a biomedical equipment technician background who's evolved over to the management side of things. Take a look and see for yourself. It's on Linked-In HERE. Or, you can go straight to our career page and apply HERE.

Day three...nothing big yet

Day three on my one-man traffic expedition. I'm still at it - trying to find clinical engineering managers, BMETs, biomedical equipment technicians, imaging guys, and the such.

This is going to prove interesting to good ole' Todd Rogers, TriMedx recruiter.

I did manage to discover some interesting details over at Google.

Biomedical equipment jobs
Biomedical equipment technician
Biomedical technician

These are the hot searches. So, I best be on top of things now, right?

Californian...not so much.

I can't forget my disclaimer:

Change I better believe in

I'm now in my fourth week at TriMedx. I'm learning a whole heck of a lot. One of the things I'm learning about it (re-learning about) is how communications must be properly managed. I'm also learning about disclaimers; like this one: nothing in this blog represents the opinion of TriMedx or its management, leadership, or shareholders.

But, I am getting my head around this who SEO business, that's for sure. I'm also learning a whole bunch about clinical engineering, BMETs, CBETs, imaging technicians, field service engineers, and much much more. I guess it has a lot to do with the positions I'm trying to fill in California areas such as Los Angeles, San Bernardino, greater Inland Empire, Northridge, Long Beach, and others. I'm not totally in-the-know yet on the terminology and how a BMET evolved to incorporate "biomed" but, I'm starting to figure it out.

Our TriMedx career's page is going to start getting beefed-up a little, too. But, that too will take some time and attention to keep things on the up & up with marketing & communications authorities.

So, if you should find yourself out on the Internet looking for a clinical engineering manager position in the Los Angeles area, please take a look at the position(s) I'm working on.
I'm also looking for BMETs, imaging, and lab technicians, also in the same Southern California area.

That's it for now, folks! I'll be back with more exciting content.
Thanks for reading...and searching!
