about PPI

Precision Placements, Inc.

For prospective clients, we thank you for linking to this page to gain a better understanding of how we may be able to help you. For 2011, the business climate will unquestionably be very competitive, but there will be prime opportunity for growth. It is for this reason that it is critical now for your staff to be composed of the top performers possible. It is obvious now more than ever that hiring or maintaining a marginal team will not lead to success.

When PPI was started in the early nineties, our niche was in placing mid level managers and engineers in the traditional textile and apparel industry. Since the industry has changed, we have as well. Today more than 80% of our placements are in sales, marketing, and executive management. The remaining 20% are primarily in engineering and senior plant management. Our expertise remains in fiber, fabric, and apparel; but it has expanded to include other manufacturing segments and our new business unit dedicated to Information Technology. In addition to major manufactures, we have been able to help a number of different types of companies and are proud to add them to our client list. Our client list now is made up primarily of six different types of companies:

· Today, niche manufacturers make up our largest client segment. These are companies who have established themselves by providing a quality product and often have a unique story to tell. We place candidates ranging from corporate management to sales & marketing, engineering, and mid management.

· Companies based outside of the US who are wanting to establish or improve relationships with major US retailers.

· Companies who are importing apparel and fabric to sell into the US helping them find sourcing or sales professionals.

· Most recently, we have been very successful working with private equity firms as they make new acquisitions and look at ways to strengthen their portfolio companies. We have been able to place top senior executives that either help turn around a company or guide them to profitability by becoming fully immersed in their particular industry. We have thoroughly researched new markets and used our 19 years of Executive Search experience to find the right fit to move their companies forward. Additionally, we have also used our industry research expertise to assist them in exploring new markets and help determine viability of acquisitions.

· Traditional textile and apparel companies. Formerly this was our “bread and butter” and they still are an important part of what we do.

· Major retailers who need a professional with a fabric or apparel background. We have worked on merchandising, sales, marketing, and quality control positions for these companies

· In 2009 we started an IT business unit placing programmers, project managers, and even CIO's

· If you are from one of these industry segments or need candidates with experience with one of these segments, we may be able to help you. As alluded to on our home page, we have also started a business unit dedicated to information technology. Your IT department is a very integral part of your overall business success, and we will be able to use our Executive Search expertise to solidify needs that you have in that area as well; whether it be programmers, project managers, all the way up to CIO's.

Late 2008 and 2009 was a challenging time for many of us, and the search industry was no different. PPI used that time to totally reevaluate how we source talent. In 2010 we used this new knowledge along with our 18 years of experience to reinvent the way we do business and increase our revenue by 50% over our best previous year. We feel confident that we can use this expertise to help you in 2011.

Even before the recent economic downturn, the market for commodity products had certainly changed and gotten tighter over the previous six years, but there were companies that flourished. The best approaches to sales and marketing are constantly evolving, and they are what bring revenue to your company. It is for these reasons that it is imperative for you to hire the best available candidate when you have a need for your organization. For sales and senior management needs, we highly recommend retainer searches. With our retainer searches we will personally meet you to discuss your needs and plan a strategy to find you the best candidate available. We have found that this allows us a greater perspective in some of the special nuances for these critical executives in your organization. We still offer both retainer and contingency searches, because each organization and need is different.
