Ammunition Depot- A CEO’s Confidence in High-Level Hiring
The Story of Dan Wolgin
Dan Wolgin is the CEO of Ammunition Depot, a B2C online ammunition retailer. He joined Ammunition Depot when the company was in a period of rapid growth. Dan played a major role in launching a wholesale group, exponentially increasing the company’s revenue, leading to his position as CEO.
The Challenge Ammunition Depot And Dan Wolgin Faced.
Prior to Sloane Staffing, Dan and the Ammunition Depot team heavily spent their time and resources putting together an internal hiring process. Initially they believed this would result in higher than average results, however they realized they were not executing in driving candidates to the top of the funnel.
It usually took Ammunition Depot six to nine months to fill high-level positions.
Why Ammunition Depot Chose Sloane Staffing
In November of 2022, Ammunition Depot’s Director of eCommerce left her position during their highest revenue year, as she felt she was a mis-hire and did not have the experience to properly execute in her role. Dan was left in a frenzy of how he could properly hire a perfect match for their open Director of eCommerce role.
Dan and Ammunition Depot had worked with 10 recruiting companies before Sloane Staffing, never having a good experience. He shared that the recruiting companies they worked with before us never understood the skills Ammunition Depot was looking for, nor were the candidates that were brought in up to par. When Dan was introduced to Max Spanier, Sloane Staffing’s founder and CEO, everything changed for Dan in terms of his third party recruiting experience.
How Sloane Staffing Responded
Dan was introduced to Max in December 2022, and by January the Director of eCommerce position was filled, as well as a VP of Marketing position.
Right off the bat, Sloane Staffing delivered 4x the amount of top-notch candidates that Dan Wolgin expected. The Sloane Staffing team worked with the CEO to perfect job posting requirements, narrow down the applicant pool, and screen candidates.
When Ammunition Depot’s Director of Operations put their two weeks in, Sloane Staffing had the role filled with a high quality candidate by the following week. We assisted Ammunition Depot in optimizing their hiring process. We filled high-level roles in under 6 weeks that the CEO expected would take a year to fill.
The Results
“Before Sloane Staffing, we had a great interview process but never had a strategy to fill the funnel. With Sloane I’m now confident that I can fill high-level positions quickly and with competent people. This gives me the confidence to run my business the way I know I should and be ready to move on from employees without fear if they aren’t working out. Thank you Max!”
Dan Wolgin now has the confidence that any and all open roles will be filled with extremely qualified candidates with the help of Sloane Staffing. This allows Dan to manage Ammunition Depot without fear. As CEO, Dan commented that if any role were to become open it would no longer turn his world upside down, as he can contact Sloane Staffing to have it covered.
