-- While Hillrom is racing to manufacture enough ICU hospital beds and rapidly scaling their production of ventilators in the fight to treat the most critical COVID-19 patients, Moderna is racing to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Hanold Associates is volunteering their recruiting capability with Hillrom and Moderna to help both companies in their fight against this pandemic. “In a personal, family, organizational or societal crisis, each of us must find our role to play in working through that crisis. Our team is finding ways to volunteer and contribute our capability towards the efforts of those fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic. We encourage all recruiters to find companies in need, and volunteer their capabilities and capacity,” says Jason Hanold, CEO of Hanold Associates.


Hillrom is rapidly scaling manufacturing efforts for both ventilators and ICU hospital beds, and there are critical roles required, at hospital hotspot locations, to assemble and install the ICU beds. These roles are Field Technicians and Medical Equipment Handlers. The entire Hanold Associates team is working to quickly recruit dozens of Field Service Technicians, Low Voltage Installation Technicians and Medical Equipment Inventory Handlers needed in hotspots around the country. Hanold Associates’ Partner, Sandra Peña, who is leading the volunteer team effort added, “Locations for these roles include New York, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennessee for around the clock shifts, 24/7. These roles are hourly, permanent, full-time positions, and ideal for one who may be unemployed or under-employed today. Help us spread the word to good people in need of employment, who want to play a critical role in this crisis.”


“There is no more important time to be part of a medical device company,” said Hillrom Chief HR Officer, Ken Meyers. “The products we are manufacturing and delivering are put to immediate use by caregivers for patients who need them most. We are grateful to Hanold Associates for their help filling these critical roles.” These roles may include responsibilities such as client-facing customer service, minor medical equipment repairs, pick-up and delivery of medical equipment, heavy lifting and repair/installation of medical equipment.


Hanold Associates is helping Boston-based Moderna recruit critical leadership that will help Moderna scale their Clinical Development capability to more swiftly develop a vaccine for COVID-19.
