Get to know Valeriy (Val) Sheremeta, FootBridge’s Business Development Analyst. Val addresses the toughest hiring predicaments, answers our clients’ common inquiries about contract employment, and shares insights on solving recruitment obstacles.
How does FootBridge offer contract employment services to candidates across various industries, such as construction management, engineering, project controls, project management, and manufacturing, on a contract-hiring basis?
“Unlike permanent employees, contractors don’t need to go through the human resources department, which surprises many companies. Instead, contractors are billed as a project expense, and FootBridge takes care of the administrative details such as insurance, start packets, onboarding, client guidelines about paperwork requirements, background screenings, drug testing, and hourly wages.”
How do you establish a client is a good fit to work with FootBridge?
“When speaking with a potential client, I always establish client goals right from the start and assess whether they have a need that falls under our areas of expertise as a niche staffing firm. Once I understand their needs, we hand over the client to our sales team, create requisitions, and recruiters find candidates that meet their requirements. This meticulous approach helps FootBridge maintain its reputation and deliver on its client promises.”
Val notes that FootBridge doesn’t rely on a “candidate bench,” a lengthy list of contractors submitted to clients. Instead, FootBridge Staffing focuses on finding the exact fit for each client by digging deeper and pushing harder to deliver exceptional candidates. Val is proud to point out that FootBridge has a nationwide reach, and clients receive the best candidates for their needs.
Can you describe how your partnerships with clients work?
“I enjoy building relationships with potential clients and knowing we can tackle various projects, such as sourcing engineers and project managers to support power plants, manufacturing support during operations expansion, and so much more. With every project comes a new challenge, and FootBridge is always ready to embrace them.”
Lastly, Val shares a personal touch about his experience with business development services. He narrates how he recently connected with an engineering firm based in Puerto Rico and placed a project controls specialist specializing in electrical infrastructure systems designs and consulting. The candidate found the hiring process straightforward and seamless despite not being local. He appreciated that FootBridge managed the administrative work online and communicated well throughout the hiring process.
We were lucky enough to speak with Zahimara S., the project controls specialist, who really enjoyed her experiences with both Val and FootBridge.
It was a great experience, the hiring process was great. FootBridge made it seamless, I could do everything online. There was no need to go in-office…or send things by mail. Val explained the job details clearly and worked with the client to get me a great contract!
