Hiring Practices — Finding the Right Fit

“The candidate must enjoy working in teams, embrace ideas for continuous improvement, always put the customers’ needs first, be flexible in cross-training and work assignments, enjoy learning new skills and be open to having a little fun at work,” Roloff says.

To recruit quality employees, VSI uses several methods simultaneously. Typically, for skilled positions, Roloff places ads at local technical colleges, state- sponsored job boards and facilities, the Website for Printing Industries of Wisconsin, and one or two large Internet job sites. The company has also found it’s very effective to get referrals of good candidates through networking.
