Icon Industries Highlights Top Qualities for Job Candidates

Norcorss, GA, July 31, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “At Icon Industries, we are continually looking for top talent,” stated Hithm H., the company’s president. “As we continue to grow, our needs evolve. That’s why we like to see who the best candidates are in the field.”

“We are constantly receiving resumes,” said Hithm. “Applicants are willing to tell us about their qualifications, but do they know what we are looking for?” The company’s team-based culture puts a premium on individuals who can work within a collaborative environment. “The promotions we build depend on a dynamic approach. We are looking for top candidates who have the flexibility to assume multiple roles during the engagement process,” added Hithm.

"Speaking of leadership, the managers at Icon Industries expect individuals to take charge,"

Though job experience is a plus, critical thinking skills and strong problem-solving capabilities have an equally high priority. “In this business, the game is always changing,” said Hithm. “One day, a campaign is working well, and by the end of that week, a competitor is targeting one of our key demographics.” Team members must be able to work together not only to react to these types of events, but to think strategically. “We value people who are willing to change direction while leading the team towards the finish line. Diving catches are not encouraged.”

“Speaking of leadership, the managers at Icon Industries expect individuals to take charge,” said Hithm. “They must also accept responsibility for the results they bring.” Management is looking for top candidates who are willing to perform at high levels, which includes adhering to milestones aligned with corporate revenue targets. “Leaders are also responsible for motivating the team while getting the job done,” added Hithm.

Icon Industries Focuses on Career Development

When management brings new talent into the organization, these individuals are enrolled in the company’s career development program. “Whether you are a college grad or an experienced team member, you need to establish your goals,” said Hithm. “When you come to work here, you have a career, not a job.” Training programs, which range from marketing classes to management training, are available. “We provide many opportunities here at Icon Industries. Everyone should be able to manage the company someday.”

The company also has a coaching initiative which pairs a new associate with a senior member of the management team. “Each individual has a chance to gain hands-on training under the guidance of an experienced team member,” remarked Hithm. “As a result, new hires become more productive quickly. This reinforces our team culture.”

“Obviously, the best candidates are those who fit into our culture,” said Hithm. “At Icon Industries, we aren’t necessarily looking for marketing or sales experts. We are looking for people who have good organizational skills and are able to innovate and creatively solve problems. If you are willing to work hard and learn, we will help you learn the business. We want you to be motivated to win.”
