Rolling into the weekend with my favorite little coworker—and my unpaid marketing guru of eight years.
Homeschool question: Does marketing count as a 6th-grade curriculum? Asking for a mom who may have accidentally replaced social studies with “Call My Mom” campaigns.
At this point, he understands branding, business development, persuasive writing, and lead generation. Math is easy: your company has an opening + you call his mom = problem solved.
If you need great people in cranes, heavy equipment, construction, elevators, mining, manufacturing, or industrial services, follow the kid’s advice:
Call. His. Mom.
He has been running this campaign for eight years. I cannot afford to let him down now.

Big wins happening across both the SBC Crane & Heavy Equipment Division and the SBC Manufacturing Division. 👏

This is what teamwork, communication, industry knowledge, and relentless recruiting effort looks like. Proud of this crew and the partnerships we continue building across the manufacturing and heavy equipment industries.

🔹 Nicholas Tyciak & Gene Westcott, USN Ret. – Placed an Extrusion Operator in Ohio

🔹 Matthew Liashek & Gene Westcott, USN Ret. – Placed a Maintenance Supervisor in Pennsylvania

🔹 Nicholas Tyciak & Gene Westcott, USN Ret. – Placed another Extrusion Operator in Ohio

🔹 James Laundra, MSL & Gene Westcott, USN Ret. – Placed a Quality Control Tech in Illinois

🔹 Lee Runey, MSM & Devin Ballard – Placed a CNC Operator Trainee

🔹 Lee Runey, MSM & John Stoltman – Placed a Maintenance Technician

🔹 Jody Considine & Joseph Kolniak – Placed TWO Machine Operators in West Virginia

🔹 Jody Considine & Joseph Kolniak – Replacement placement for an Overhead Crane Technician in Texas

🔹 Isaiah Martinez & Jody Considine – Placed a Technical Trainer in Ohio

Every placement represents more than filling a role.

It represents production lines staying operational, equipment staying running, teams getting stronger, and companies continuing to move forward.

The SBC team continues to prove that recruiting is not just about resumes — it’s about understanding industries, understanding people, and delivering when it matters most.

Proud of this team. Proud of these partnerships. And we’re just getting started. 💪

Big week for the SBC Crane & Heavy Equipment Division team and two recruiters who continue to put in the work behind the scenes every single day. 👏
Huge congratulations to Joseph Kolniak and Isaiah Martinez and me 😁 Jody Considine on some outstanding placements this week across the crane and heavy equipment industries.
Joe secured:
• A Shop Technician placement in California within the crane industry
• A Power Generation Field Service Technician placement in Ohio within the heavy equipment/power generation sector
Martinez secured:
• A Shop Technician placement in Tennessee within the crane industry
These placements are more than just accepted offers — they represent late nights, technical sourcing, relationship building, interview coordination, and helping both companies and candidates find the right fit.
The skilled trades continue to drive this country forward, and we’re proud to help connect great people with great opportunities across the U.S. 🇺🇸
Great job, Joe and Martinez. Keep reinforcing the workforce. 💪

Every week you see me post about placements, accepted offers, start dates, and success stories.
What you don’t see posted enough are the fall offs.
The deals that fall apart.
The calls that hit you in the gut.
The real life side of recruiting.
They happen. Not often… but they happen.
And when they do, replacing that hire immediately becomes our priority. That’s part of the responsibility we carry in this business.
This week, two of them hurt.
The first one hurt because we did everything right.
We verified the candidate multiple times. He was excited. Ready to start. Grateful for the opportunity.
Then the day before his start date, he called and said his current employer waited until the last possible second to counteroffer… and he accepted it.
Counteroffers will always frustrate me because most of the time, the reasons someone started looking in the first place don’t magically disappear overnight. In this case, the candidate himself had shared concerns about the company’s stability and future.
Truthfully? I have a feeling we’ll hear from him again in a month or two.
Not because I want that for him… but because I’ve seen this story play out too many times.
The second fall off this week was heavier in a different way.
A candidate relocated, started work… and then failed a drug screen.
Yes, my company helped with relocation money.
Yes, from a business standpoint, that hurts.
But the first phone call I made to him today wasn’t about getting money back.
It was:
“Hey… are you okay?”
“How long has this been an issue?”
“What can I do to help you?”
Maybe I’m different from some recruiters.
Of course I care about the success of my division. Of course I care about placements and growth and performance.
But beyond all of that… I care about people.
I care about what people carry behind the scenes.
I care about the struggles they don’t talk about.
I care about the battles that most people never see.
And maybe — just maybe — in a moment where someone feels like they completely failed… one person reaching out with compassion instead of anger matters more than the placement itself.
The relocation money is insignificant compared to the well-being of another human being.
Was I angry this happened?
Absolutely.
Not because of the money.
Not because of the placement.
Because I thought there was trust there.
But we all have struggles.
We all have internal battles. Some bigger than others.
Who am I to judge?
And who am I to stop caring?
Anyway… this post is for the fall offs.
The part of recruiting people don’t always talk about.
The daily reality behind the “ACCEPTED” graphics and celebration posts.
So… on to the next, right?
Ironically, the very next post you’ll probably see from me today will be another placement.
Two steps back to take one step forward sometimes.
But as long as we’re still moving in the right direction… I’m good with that.

Today, we celebrate all of the incredible moms of SBC — the women who somehow balance careers, leadership, schedules, late nights, early mornings, and still make time to love and support everyone around them.

To the moms within our divisions:

Thank you for the dedication, compassion, patience, and strength you bring not only to your families, but to our team every single day. The care you show in your homes carries over into the way you support candidates, clients, coworkers, and one another.

And to the wives and mothers behind so many of the men in our divisions — thank you.

Thank you for holding down the fort during long days, phone calls after hours, travel schedules, stressful weeks, and the nonstop pace that comes with recruiting and supporting industries that never slow down. Behind many successful men are strong women making sacrifices that often go unseen.

You are the steady voice after a hard day.

The calming presence during chaos.

The glue that keeps families moving forward.

Whether you are a mom by birth, by heart, a grandmother, stepmom, mentor, or mother figure — your impact matters more than words can fully express.

At SBC, we know success is never built alone. It is built through support systems, families, encouragement, sacrifice, and love.

Today we celebrate YOU.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms from the SBC Crane Division & General Manufacturing Division. ❤️

For almost 8 years I have been talking about writing a book. Some days the stories are too good to just let them die- so with each passing day I am getting closer and closer to starting what I should have written years ago. Everyone at SBC that has worked with me- hears me say daily- "That's going in my book..."

From the "Sorry I cannot accept the offer- my eyeball fell out last night", to "You cannot offer my husband that job- he was calling you from the INSTITUTION"....they are all juicy!!!

With that being said- whatcha think about a title?

Food manufacturing? No problem.

Huge shoutout to Susan Podsiadlik on the team for another great placement — Assistant in Indiana officially accepted.

That makes 3 placements this week with this same company.

Consistency like that doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from understanding the industry, putting in the work on the front end, and delivering the right people every time.

Susan has been absolutely dialed in — and it shows.

When I say we have a recruiter for everything… I mean it.

If is on your radar, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s talk.
