Grand Rapids, Mich.-based firm becomes a one-solution partner for finance, manufacturing and other industries challenged to place skilled talent
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (September 23, 2024) – Trusted for placing top talent in Leadership and skilled roles within the Accounting, Investment Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Insurance industries, Harrison Gray Search is adding staffing and contract services to guide clients through challenging search and hiring scenarios. Harrison Gray Search’s growth now positions the 11-year-old firm as a full-suite partner for clients seeking permanent placement, consulting, staffing, and contract talent across skilled industries nationwide.
“Companies are still working to build back their productivity, others are looking to fill their pipelines as longer-tenured skilled labor leaves the workforce, and even more are wading through an influx of applications for critical roles,” said Adam Kail, Founder and CEO at Harrison Gray Search. “Whether it’s an executive hire or a flexible solution, it’s more essential to streamline the arduous talent process and find not just any hire but the right fit. Relationship-building is always the most effective method, but we’re using AI technology to more quickly identify niche skill sets to begin those conversations.”
Harrison Gray Search is seeing significant opportunities within Financial Activities, where the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports over 40 percent of jobs are unfilled and skills gaps limit qualified candidates (U.S. Chamber Analysis BLS Data). The industry is also experiencing a one-and-a-half percent quit rate.
Organizations hiring for Accountants, Controllers, and other difficult-to-fill positions leverage flexible options to balance full-time hiring hesitancy through Q4 2024. Some clients opt for short-term contract talent while searching for permanent hires, while others use a contract model to evaluate hires for a permanent fit.
“We’re seeing extreme counter-offers keeping skilled leaders in place or delaying their planned retirements. The graduate pool has limited industry expertise in these niche industries, so we’re looking for needles in haystacks to support frictionless transitions,” added Kail. “Beyond industry skills, our clients want to ensure a culture fit. Our reputation for placements, growth, and returning clients proves we’re ready to meet all of the needs they’re juggling.”
