TMC Enhances Recruitment,
Hiring Processes to Handle
Unprecedented Growth
Unprecedented growth prompted leading-edge
technology solution provider
TMC Technologies of West Virginia
(TMC) to bolster its accomplished hiring
team, creating a second recruiter position
and appointing a new director of human
resources.
According to TMC President and CEO
Wade Linger, the addition of customers
at the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) FBI
Data Center in Pocatello, Idaho, and the
Department of Defense’s U.S. Air Force
Engineering, Development, Integration
and Sustainment program at Kirtland
Air Force Base and Schriever Air Force
Base in Colorado are the main reasons for
creating a larger, more agile recruitment
and retention team.
Senior Technical Recruiter Sean Sullivan
and Human Resources Director Kristin
Postlethwait, both appointed in January,
join current TMC Recruiter Jeff Gross.
TMC Director of Communications John
Dahlia was also added to the team as a
strategic talent sourcer, whose responsibilities
include using various channels to
look for potential candidates and building
talent pipelines for future hiring needs.
“The addition of Sean and Kristin will
help provide optimum performance and
continue to assure our valued government
partners we can find the most qualified
people to support their missions,” says
Linger.
Sullivan comes to TMC with 18 years
of experience. He recently worked at the
FBI Criminal Justice Information Services
(CJIS) for Virginia-based Dorrean, LLC.
His focus is to locate the very best talent
available for TMC’s DOJ customers at the
FBI CJIS in West Virginia, the FBI Data
Center in Idaho and potential growth
opportunities at the FBI in Huntsville, AL.
Postlethwait will handle employee compensation
and benefits, training, development
and employee relations as well as
recruitment and retention efforts. She
recently worked at JobSquad, Inc. as a
human resources manager.
