WHAT'S WORKING: HOW A FEW LOCAL
COMPANIES ARE FINDING THE PEOPLE THEY NEED
As the Mobile Area Chamber is ramping up its talent attraction program and resources for area employers to help them fill open salaried positions, many local companies already have an
established playbook when it comes to keeping local folks here or recruiting from outside the region. The Business View editors spoke to several local human resource specialists to share their tips.
JAMILA WILSON
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER BASF
Jamila Wilson says BASF has a strong recruiting strategy, including relationships with area colleges. If she is attending a job fair in search of engineers, she makes sure a BASF engineer accompanies her. From an applicant’s perspective, she knows they want to know everything they can that day and only someone in a similar position will be able to answer their questions. Taking the time to make sure the candidate is the “right fit” for the company’s culture is also important. Wilson looks for someone who believes in BASF's core values
