REFERRING FOR THE LONG HAUL
Jackson MS Frontline Leader Looks For Long-Term Fit
This year alone, two of James’ referrals have been hired. Perhaps part of the reason James is eager to share his experience is that he too was a referral hire. “I have a cousin who is in maintenance,” James says. “He talked about Averitt back when I was offshore working in the oil field. I was trying to get out of that, and word of mouth got me here.” James was initially hired as a dock associate. From there, he transitioned to a dock lead role, then oversaw the operations of a local account before being promoted to leadership. James shares his growth story with potential teammates, as well as his experience of what it’s like to wear the Averitt red. “The people I work with are very family oriented,” he says, “and they always check in on every associate to make sure everything is all right and going well.” DUE DILIGENCE James’ referrals have been a mixture of family, friends and people he Since he came to Averitt a little more than four years ago, Jackson MS frontline leader JAMES MARTIN has been active in referring People Like You to our team.
meets who would fit our culture. “I like to have a good conversation with someone,” he explains. “If it seems like they would fit in with the way we do things – working together and staying motivated – then I refer them, hand them a referral card and do what I can.” When James makes a referral, he ensures that person will make us stronger for the long haul. “I try to do a little research on my end before I put my neck out on the line to refer someone,” he says. “Anybody we get here, we want to make sure they stay for many, many years.” Thank you, James, for the way you’re building our team one referral at a time. And we also thank every associate whose People Like You referrals keep us strong!
