Introduction

“The man who says he can and the man who says he cannot are both right”

Since this is the first blog I’ve posted on our redesigned website, I thought that I should spend some time introducing myself and our company philosophy, rather than diving into industry and recruitment specific topics as I plan to do in the future. I hope that you check back regularly as we plan to have new blogs with topics of interest on a weekly basis.

For now, let me introduce myself. My name is David Lammert and I am the President and founder of Pinnacle Placements, a boutique recruitment firm which specializes in the security industry. If you take a few minutes to tour our site, you will find specific information about our services, my background, and how we work, but perhaps as important is to explain why we are passionate about our industry and placing individuals within it.

The security industry is extremely diverse – from global safety and security concerns, to product protection, to the protection of a company’s employees here at home (and providing the employees to do just that), one thing remains constant: People. This is an industry centered on human beings as the key component. Even as the system side of the industry grows and becomes increasingly important, it is the people behind the product which drive sales, design, innovation and client relations.

I love that my assistance in providing people will never become obsolete. In a time of economic turmoil and downsizing, security and safety is a constant. We are faced with threats to our country’s safety and security on a daily basis, and the individuals tasked with maintaining the security of a corporation, a building, a team of security professionals, is more important than ever.

Which bring us to the introductory quote above; I believe that an individual’s disposition is essential to their overall success both as an Employer and as a Candidate. Matching a job and an employer with the right employee is more than just matching a job description to a resume. It’s what isn’t stated in that professional document that is as important as what is stated. The “who you are” along with the “what you’ve done” creates a match and a successful placement for both sides.

I hope you enjoy the new site and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
