Org Charts – Don’t Overlook This Valuable Tool

We brought in Wejungo to our company to consult us on how we can hire the best people in our industry and then keep them. Being a small start-up business with only 27 employees we don’t have a lot of time, nor the knowledge of how to attract, hire and keep our best employees. They took the time to ask us the right questions in the beginning and then recommended the perfect talent management solutions based on our business goals. We were also able to create a manageable and repeatable new hiring/interviewing process. We love your slogan – Creating Success Together because that is truly what we did! We look forward to working with Susie Japs and the Wejungo team again in the near future!

Gregory T.President, California Investment Firm

Susie strives to be a great asset to anyone she is involved with. Success oriented, focused, and attuned to detail, she gets the most out of your time and hers. A smart and practical observer of business situations, she can offer help in several ways. Sometimes the help comes in the form of her thoughtful, Socratic questions that bring out the solution that you have buried inside of you. I would say that my results with Susie would be on the scale somewhere between “amazing” and “unbelievable”. We achieved every goal that we set with Susie, and we now have a better understanding of where we want to go.

Glenn Y.President, California Home & Business Security

We have a high-end travel company catering to Executives and their families. When I came across Wejungo I was immediately impressed by the resources that were offered. Susie is one of the most dynamic individuals I have ever met and she is always coming up with the most strategic ways to run our business and pushing me to look at things in completely new ways. We hired Wejungo in 2012 to create a re-design of our organization layout and help us find an HR consultant to support the hiring of 12 new employees in 2013. We are so pleased with our new org structure and it’s keeping us excited and motivated to keep improving. I would highly recommend working with Wejungo, they are top-notch!

Christopher L.Business Owner, an Elite Travel Company

Susie has been top drawer to work with from start to finish. Her recommendations and outside the box thinking led to one of the greatest job placements of my career. I truly can’t thank her enough for her insight and continued creativity throughout our process. I would highly recommend her services!

Brian W.CEO, Southern CA based Education Management Organization

Our experience with Wejungo has by far exceeded any others we have worked with in the past. Their weekly updates were really helpful to help put into perspective the work/candidates they were talking with and the market in general. The bios supplied for the candidates that were introduce to us, again, great information. It’s clear the team dove deep with each one to really determine fit and experience. Of course just as people, very pleasurable! The way in which they could speak to each candidate was simply amazing. We were extremely lucky to have Wejungo as such an integrated partner through this process.

Kim M.HR Director, Southern CA Subcontractor

Over the course of my career I have had the opportunity to work with several very good executive recruiters. Susie is as good as it gets. Her attention to details, interview preparation, de-briefs, and constant input/feedback from both myself and her client were of the finest order. I truly enjoyed working with her, as it was such a positive experience!

Bruce W.Senior Director of Business Development, Southern CA General Contractor

Every start-up needs someone who can understand what working 24/7 and working multiple job hats means and not every business consultant out there really knows that world. Working with Wejungo and Susie, literally felt like they were part of my company. At times they were working even harder than us to help build a solid foundation for my start-up. I wanted to double the capacity and revenues for this year in 2013. It’s not even the end of the year and we have reached our goal…this would not be possible without Susie’s sound business knowledge, dedicated guidance and ability to show me how to hire real “game changers” for my company. Thank you for making it possible for us to succeed!

Jason F.CEO, Professional Service Firm

I was referred to Wejungo™ by a client who mentioned that we should talk with Susie about talent management and improving our hiring practices. I first thought “what the heck is talent management?” so I called them to find out. We have a very small HR department of 2 individuals and have not had great success with headhunters, but we needed to hire 5 new people in a 6 month period. Within minutes Susie blew me away with her knowledge and well-thought out questions. I brought Susie in to create hiring practices, help me identify where there were gaps of skill sets in my team and she even ended up finding us the best Division Manager possible for our $65M company!

Keith M.CFO, Civil Engineering and Planning Firm

I found Susie on LinkedIn after noticing we were connected with a bunch of the same people in my industry. Now keep in mind this was the first time I had reached out to a recruitment agency – previously I had always been called by a headhunter, and they always claimed to have the ‘perfect’ job for me, without knowing anything about me. So I was definitely skeptical, however I discovered in the first 5 minutes talking with Susie that she was not a head hunter, she was something better. Her feedback, tips and guidance brought me to the best job I’ve ever had in my career, and honestly I would never have heard about it, nor matched myself up to it without Susie. Thanks for being my career champion!

Mark K.VP of Sales, National Software Provider

We hired Wejungo beginning of 2014 for human resource planning – to help us re-structure and streamline our operations and HR department so that everything would work better after we experienced growth of 45% in the last 12 months. Honestly we were at a loss of what to do and the Wejungo team was able to come in, ask the right questions, assess the situation and make stellar recommendations. I was able to trust them almost immediately and then begged them to consult for another 90 days and help us actually put the systems into place with our team. I’m happy to report things are running very well still – we are on track to grow another 40% for 2015 and most importantly with a significant increase in productivity and employee engagement. Thanks for the hard work!

Thomas G.EVP, Real Estate/Property Mgmt Firm

As a CEO finding the right VP of Sales for our company has been challenging. After 3 months of us trying to recruit on our own, we threw up our hands and decided to go with a headhunter. I have been blown away by the care and time that Susie’s team has taken with each candidate that was presented to me. They not only made sure to match the candidate’s previous experience to the technical requirements of our job, but also to match that candidate’s goals and management style to our corporate culture. For Wejungo™ their goal clearly isn’t to just fill a position, they have provided us so much more! We sometimes can find ourselves rushing to hire someone and forget that a candidate who can do the job today isn’t necessarily someone who will be a good fit in a couple years.
