Within two days of concluding my contract at Sebesta Blomberg, was recruited by Schwan's to join them in a contract capacity to handle all full-cycle technical recruiting for their Global Supply Chain Business Unit.

Schwan’s is highly diligent about OFCCP compliance, so had solid experience working within those regulations. In addition, received the AIRS Technical Manual, and am learning their processes.
Because their headquarters is in Marshall, MN, they flew me in each Monday morning, with a return flight each Thursday afternoon; worked for Schwan's from my home office each Friday. Was originally asked to hold this position for 30 days, but was extended numerous times for a total of six months.
