You may ask where did the name Sparrow originate? Well, it has nothing to do with the Pirates of Carribean (Jack Sparrow) or the bird. In fact, it is a reference to a book my father, Edward Fishman, (1926-2004) gave me when I was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard.
The name of the book was "Sparrows Point" and it tells the story of Bethlehem Steel. The rise and fall of Bethlehem Steel is more than just a story to me; it was also the first company I bought stock in. I became intrigued not only with the Steel Industry but Heavy Industry in general. Also, while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, I regularly patrolled the waters off Sparrows Point.
Personally, I have always had an admiration for Industrial Companies. The men and women who work within this industry work hard, and the work they do helps produce the raw materials needed to support industrialization throughout the world. My admiration also comes in part from my father's dedication to feverishly follow these companies on the NYSE. He believed in the hard work done in the industrial sector of America.
Throughout my years in the recruiting industry, I have recruited for (or recruited from) almost all of these companies that he followed dealing in cement, steel, industrial minerals, copper, gold, silver, and paper. At Sparrow, we will always have a loyalty to industrial companies. Our portfolio also includes companies from food manufacturing to retail and information services that place candidates throughout the world.
We know the industrial market, and we know how to find the candidate you need. Whatever your organization needs, we will be sure to deliver. Our guarantee ensures it. Our pride in our work and our dedication to our clients demands it.
