As the economy begins to slowly recover and companies cautiously prepare themselves for the inevitable – adding staff, the war for the best talent becomes more important than ever. That’s where Lorin Cone, President and CEO of GLC Group’s area of expertise comes in.
As a full-service talent resource, GLC offers innovative, flexible and aggressive solutions for a wide array of recruitment needs. From providing contingent workforce solutions to delivering strategic RPO solutions, GLC offers one of the industry’s most advanced talent acquisition programs available. Unlike most other companies in the industry, GLC provides a “mix and match” flexibility approach – whether it’s temporary, permanent, RPO or BPO – through a single point of contact, they have the resources of the entire team within the GLC Group.
The reason Lorin started GLC in the first place was because as a corporate recruiter, he was dismayed at the lack of service and level of talent the company he was working for provided. It seemed that they lost sight of what was important in an industry whose focus is on people, the personal touch was virtually non-existent.
At that point in Lorin’s career, he was ready to take all that he had learned – both positive and negative – and set out on his own to make a significant difference in the industry. It was his goal to take his three basic core beliefs – provide the best service, the best talent and establish the best relationships and create a WOW! Moment for every candidate and every client – every time. “The concept to deliver wow moments was a result of the reaction we were receiving from clients and candidates in response to the way we conducted ourselves in business, Lorin said.” This WOW! Moment philosophy is now an integral part of GLC’s mission for every GLC team member. “It is truly what sets apart in the industry,” he adds.
When Lorin established GLC, he recognized a need in the healthcare industry. “We started as a permanent staffing company,” Lorin says. “Over the years, we’ve built solid relationships with both small and Fortune 100 companies to provide healthcare services. These companies have asked us for more, so we expanded into temporary staffing as well.”
It was never his plan to limit the focus to just healthcare; however, he wanted to take a niche industry and perfect it before diversifying into other areas. He knew that his future would include expansion when the time was right. Today, GLC Group is applying the same principles and branded concepts to other disciplines including Finance, Government, Technology, and Engineering.
It’s the logical next step after a history of expansion, following a pattern of swift responses to a demanding market. “Our clients have pushed us to do more and more over the years, and they’ve given us these opportunities to broaden and be successful in terms of our service, delivery and relationships. We’ve built an outstanding nationwide network of both clients and candidates and GLC is now positioned to be at the forefront of the most critical industry in today’s challenging business environment,” Lorin concluded.
