Black Diamond Networks

World known for climbing/outdoor gear.  People love their jobs and enjoy making products for the customers they serve.  Days consist of dealing with all levels of personnel from management to temporary employees to vendors and contractors.
  Maintain inventory and planned maintenance system, scheduling of repairs with management and contractors when needed in accordance with production schedule.
  Maintain all aspects from install to preparing pm's and ensuring daily proper operation on lathes, hydraulic presses up to 300 tons, trim presses, CNC's, compressors, riveters, Nordson glue machines.
  Took downtime from 300+ hours a month between the machines to less than 50hrs in a 6 month time frame.  Replaced old compressor running at 90amps and replaced with two new ones that run at 30amps on full load.

Each day I would make calls to managers in medical device, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies looking to see if they could use senior contractors or consultants to help with validation, quality, or regulatory affairs within their department.  I learned a lot of how the process works for a company to be allowed to sell their product in the medical industry.  My management has been the best management I have ever worked for.  They are very supportive and helpful with all needs that come with the position, as well as personal issues.  My co-workers are great, always nice and approachable.  The hardest part of my job is to be able to get managers on the phone to gather information to which leads to us doing business together.  The most enjoyable part of my job is the people I work with.

Good place to start for novice “recruiters” or “sales” individuals. It is beneficial for someone to know if they can handle being on the phone an extensive amount. Measured by your dials and “qualified conversations” which in my recruiting experience & opinion, cold calling isn’t as effective. 
The company has been around for decades but believe their only way to grow is calls calls calls which it’s 2023, simply more efficient ways to go about recruiting and outreach. 
For someone that’s experienced, I wouldn’t recommend at all. It’s calling and poaching (if they don’t have any value to themselves) for additional information. For new grads it can serve as a foundation to get comfortable on the phone but nothing beyond, business practices aren’t exactly ethical. 

A typical day at work you will be mindlessly scrolling through their database of managers dialing anywhere from 100-150 calls per day in an attempt to get someone on the phone to book contract labor. You will loose several hours of your shift to successful people talk about their previous wins and go through a very unenthusiastic training regiment. The work is boring, you don't interact with your coworkers other than your direct manager and will be treated differently if you leave on time. You are also not allowed to clock over 40 hours on your punch clock but are instead encouraged to stay late and come in early but keep that off.

They have poor training for employees. I learned a lot about 5s program. The culture is constantly changing from no safety standards to high safety standards. They started to look at labor cost at the Maintenance department first. They have a lot of Engineers on staff and they do not communicate between the Engineers and the Maintenance dept. I am a robot not a person. No talking to people just work output. I have to justify what I did for the work day.

Black Diamond is THE sought after company to work for if someone is a climber and/or skier. They breed strong athletes and encourage fun having. However, Black Diamond is also notorious for underpaying employees because it is a desirable place to work. They have also underwent some major changes which are good and bad depending on how long you've worked there. Over all, I enjoyed my time at BD.

the work i did was not too hard, but too many people pass the buck, and when you do an excellent job it is overlooked, too many people in charge that have no clue what is going on. promises are not kept and there is to much favoritism among management and supervisors. they say one thing and then do another.

Not for the faint of heart, but if you can handle rejection and have a go getter attitude, the world is your oyster as there is unlimited earning potential. Staffing is a highly competitive industry but if you can make it in sales/recruiting the payoff is massive. 
Supportive management that truly wants to see you succeed. 
Best part of the job is helping clients. 
Hardest part of the job is building a client base from scratch, but if you work hard you can make serious income.

Personally, I am in Talent Acquisition. I have learned so much about the talent industry but also the staffing industry as well. I look forward to coming to work every day (even Mondays!) and seeing all of my coworkers. 

I worked remotely for the end-client based in Los Angeles. He was great to work with.  I was very flexible with my hours.  I was able to work on the weekends as well in order to meet the deadlines and goals.  They were very happy with my work.
