About Us
Almost twenty years ago, Michael J. Hawkins embarked upon a
mission to create a world-class executive search organization
based on a life long, global, officer level career in the foodservice, hospitality
and sanitary maintenance industries.
From modest beginnings, Michael J. Hawkins, Inc. has grown to
be recognized as the most prestigious recruiting company in its
chosen fields.
Based out of a company owned 7,000 square foot
office building in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, our team
of recruiters and researchers has over 150 years of industry
experience among them and has made hundreds of placements.
The company’s reputation for finding excellent candidates
for our clients has been forged by combining strenuous networking
with all of the “state of the art” search techniques
including a database of over 20,000 industry candidates.
Michael J. Hawkins, Inc.
will never be a resume mill. Searches are conducted after
extensive listening to clients’ needs.
Subsequently, we spend considerable resources in researching
and interviewing until the finest candidate is found.
Our clients know that the best candidates trust and respect
our company. Careers are precious, and our clients and candidates
deserve every effort to ensure a perfect hiring decision.
While general management, sales and marketing positions have
always been a significant part of our business, engineering,
manufacturing and service management searches also fit well within
our realm of expertise.
Our ideal client is typically one that has a sense of urgency
to fill mid to senior level management positions, in a highly
confidential manner, and wants a long-term partnership with a
search company on an exclusive basis.
“Resume races” in
order to beat other recruiters are no basis for professionalism
and integrity in recruiting. Professional search demands extensive
research, in depth interviewing, reference and education checking
before addendums and resumes can be submitted.
In summary, you have visited
the ideal website if you are looking for service and professionalism
from an executive search company that “makes offers to
great candidates on behalf of its clients that are accepted.”
