Richard VanderHoekPresident[email protected] Hiring an employee can be a risky and an expensive endeavor – so trust a search partner that shares a similar background and experience, and who can best understand your business, your culture and your objectives. Richard has spent almost 20 years working in Information Technology, with most of those years spent building and running IT Service Management programs. The acquisition of high quality talent is an ongoing challenge to any progressive organization and Richard’s experience of hiring and building high performing teams provides the insight into the skillsets required to meet the needs of different organizations. Prior to establishing Sanford Rose Associates – VanderHoek Group, Richard spent almost 6 years with Evergreen Systems, a leading IT Service Management (ITSM) consulting firm. During his time there he built numerous long-standing relationships with clients and led the design and implementation of a variety of ITSM tools and processes. At each engagement, Richard was focused on understanding what the client wanted to achieve and built a solution that worked best for their unique industry and culture. He brings this same personalization to his executive search practice. Identifying, placing and retaining talent is a challenge for every organization – Richard adapts the process to the unique needs of your organization. Before Evergreen Systems, Richard was with ACS, Inc. (now a division of Xerox), building both a technology design team and data processing team that provided services to a number of Fortune 500 customers. He hired, trained and developed an offshore team located in Jamaica; this team played a critical role in the day to day success of service delivery. Richard started his career at Fidelity Investments. While he was there, he led the rollout of the IT Asset Management program to all U.S. divisions and Fidelity International, spending time in Great Britain identifying requirements, testing and implementing an IT Asset Management solution. This was later rolled out to the European and Far East offices. Richard lives in Texas with his wife and two boys. He enjoys spending time with his family, watching his boys play sports, fly fishing and exploring new trails in his Jeep. |
