  1. "Without Vendor Connect, I would still be just another name on a piece of paper."

    Alex Wolfe, Vendor Connect graduate hired by J&J MedTech Ortho Trauma

    "Without Vendor Connect, I would still be just another name on a piece of paper. This program gave me the opportunity to sit down with hiring managers, show them what a resume can’t, and break into my dream career field. I am so grateful for Zoe’s honest feedback and support throughout the interview process." - Alex Wolfe, Vendor Connect graduate hired by J&J MedTech Ortho Trauma

  2. "The time it takes to attract, recruit, and vet candidates can be months for a Regional Sales Manager. Since partnering with Vendor Connect, we have slimmed down that process to 3.5 weeks."

    Alexandra DeMaio, Regional Manager for Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Ortho Trauma

    One of my biggest pain points in the hiring process is the time it takes to find the right candidate, yet it is the MOST important part of my job as a Hiring Manager. In our business, when we lose a talented member of our teams, that impact is immense on the remaining team. The time it takes to attract, recruit, and vet candidates can be months for a Regional Sales Manager. Since partnering with Vendor Connect, we have slimmed down that process to 3.5 weeks. To be able to spend 4 hours at a Talent Assessment day and walk away knowing that I have 4-8 candidates who are 100% committed to orthopedic trauma, want to live in those select territories, and are high talent, is an absolute game changer. - Alexandra DeMaio, Vendor Connect Client & Regional Manager for Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Ortho Trauma
