If you were in the ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION industry or on one of the distributors line cards in the early 90s on, chances are you were a candidate or client of GRA/G4recruiters at one time or several times in your career. We knew one thing ...disty was like being in the mafia... once you were in you never left, but you could changed companies as often as you liked. What counted was your account relationships and how much you were selling. Same rules still apply today. Either we were working for you or against you and the headhunters based in little town Portland, Oregon owned the Disty world in North America. We were the goto boys in the getter done dept. We could literally go into any major city or providence in North America, fly under the radar in stealth mode into most any company and by the end of the day we had either just helped build another company or we just tore one apart and sometimes both. Present day.... a few things have changed since then - linkedin finally caught up to where we were 18 years ago and if we were to go back through "our" DISTY database of every distributor and every employee name, title, top ten accounts they were calling on, how much they were shipping/booking, % in the field, co likes dislikes, etc. it was like a disty soap opera in the note pads and we could write a book on how we moved the industry with the movers and shakers that are still in the game today. Today G4 a little older and maybe just a little bit more compassion. We would like to get out in the field with more face to face time as there are some great people out there. Presidents can relax as our "disruptive recruiting" only happens now if it is in our contract. Just know we still build companies bigger, better, and faster than the ROW (rest of the world.)
