What makes C&S a great place to work
C&S is a strong, stable company that is constantly enhancing its technology to meet the challenges of the food distribution industry. We are currently in the process of transitioning to an Enterprise-based IT system (very exciting for an IT recruiter) and are installing two state-of-the-art automated material handling systems. Innovations like these help us maintain our status as an industry leader.
Qualities and experience I look for in a candidate
I’m looking for a person who thrives in an energetic, fast-paced environment. Someone who is able to identify business problems quickly and suggest solutions. You can be fresh out of college or have years of experience, as long as you have the right attitude and the ability to influence others.
Questions applicants ask
A lot of people ask, “How big is C&S?” They are often surprised to learn that we're the largest food wholesaler in the nation.
Best advice to applicant
Find a company with a personality that mirrors yours, in a location that is attractive to you and your lifestyle, and then give them your best. Once you've been hired, strive to improve a part of your job every day. And don’t be afraid to have a sense of humor.
Most satisfying moments as a recruiter
I thrive on my role as a match maker - when I can help connect the right candidate with the right opportunity - It makes my day. It’s a very satisfying feeling to know that doing my job right has helped others and made our company even stronger.
