Everyone is hunting for talent. Talent to run the business. Talent to connect with key clientele. And faculty from which to manage existing affairs – both internal and external – to the organisation. The post-Covid employment landscape has made this endeavour all-the-more difficult.
And when seeking entry into uncharted markets, the difficulty magnifies: cultural norms, business pacing, time zone differences and political backdrops all figure in the equation when seeking the ‘right’ individual for your company’s expansionary goals.
Within humans there exists a striving for exploration, an aiming for new ground, the creation of new works. And with the North American market garnering increased funding for capital projects, particularly in transit, it’s no surprise European firms are seeking fresh inroads into the US, Canadian and Mexican rail markets. This is true for OEMs, industry suppliers and infrastructure-centric enterprises.
What ties them all together? For one, a keen desire for entering North America. But also a tapered knowledge of the market, bringing an opaqueness to obtaining key individuals. Stahl Recruiting can assist.
Targeting specifically the North American rail market, Stahl Recruiting brings a solid track record of successfully assisting European entities in their approach. Clients include railways, bridge and engineering firms, technology and systems suppliers, equipment manufacturers and lessors – in essence, the community which surrounds and makes rail shipments possible. And should this entail establishing a completely new beachhead – or expanding existing operations – Stahl Recruiting is your trusted partner.

Utilising Stahl Recruiting will save your team hours, days, weeks – even months of time. Often misjudged is the amount of effort (and resources) necessary for sourcing the ‘right’ individual for a given role.
