Century Elevators is a full-service elevator company that delivers permanently installed and rental rack-and-pinion elevators, construction hoists, transport platforms and material hoists. When Century Elevators needed assistance filling two key positions, the company turned to BIC Recruiting. Brad Shields was hired as a project manager, and Ethan Oliphant was hired as a regional sales manager.

“BIC Recruiting provides a focused, narrow range of candidates based in the Gulf Coast industrial marketplace,” said Kevin Lavorgna, vice president of sales for Century Elevators. “They always provide a number of qualified individuals, and it has actually been difficult in the end for us to make decisions — a good problem to have! The process is easy and well managed, too. BIC Recruiting is a very useful resource for hiring industry professionals.”

Company culture was extremely important to Shields, and it was the main reason why he chose Century Elevators. Shields wanted to find a company that valued safety as much as he did. He said he’s seen firsthand what happens when safety is not a priority. Shields liked that safety was a common theme throughout the interview with Century Elevators.

“I feel like BIC Recruiting found a company that fits me like a glove,” Shields said. “Century Elevators is a perfect match for my goals and skillset. My recommendation would be to use BIC Recruiting. Every day is a new challenge, but every day there is something I can learn from. Century Elevators provides a support system I can lean on for guidance.”

As a licensed engineering firm, Century Elevators designs and delivers project-specific solutions across a variety of industries. The company stocks a full range of replacement parts while providing engineering services, field management, installation and emergency callout service.

Oliphant said he felt instantly welcomed at Century Elevators and was given the full tour of the facility after his interview. He was very pleased with how BIC Recruiting handled everything to get him there.

“The interview process with BIC Recruiting was outstanding,” Oliphant said. “BIC Recruiting helped me look at various options until they found the correct fit for me. BIC Recruiting is full of motivated individuals who truly want people to find the right jobs.”

BIC Recruiting understands the uniqueness of each client’s needs, and its goal is to place candidates who not only meet those needs but will also grow with the company.
