Wind River Associates, LLC began in 2003 as the in-house talent acquisition resource for MedSource Technologies, Inc., then the country's largest manufacturing, engineering and supply chain management services provider to the medical device industry. The Wind River team reduced average time-to-fill by 50% and average cost-per-hire by 90% while measurably improving new employee retention and job performance. Wind River became an independent search practice in 2004. The Wind River team now works with selected clients worldwide that share the conviction that customers, investors and employees are best-served when A Players occupy every leadership position in an organization. The Wind River team takes pride in quickly and cost-effectively recruiting A-Players who are not usually responsive to conventional talent acquisition efforts.
