Berardino talked to Korn Ferry executive Jed Hughes about their decision to recommend Derek Falvey to the Twins. There are a lot of great quotes that explain what the Twins were looking for, what Falvey brought to the table and much more.

 

 

 

“So, you bring somebody into an organization who already has a foundation for how to build collaboration and build a culture,” Hughes said. “When you’ve sat, as the Twins had, with a culture that existed for a long period of time, finding someone that can come in that people are going to rally around becomes really important.”

 

....

 

 

“Baseball is changing. You can’t just be a scout. You have to understand talent, player development, major league roster, wellness. Some people that have just done one thing their whole career, it’s tougher for them to make the full adjustment.”

 

And a lot more...

Definitely an interesting perspective on the hiring of Derek Falvey.

I was a recruiter for awhile did placement of Temps. Nightmares.

 

Somehow though, I don't see Falvey no-showing his new job on the first day of the season...

Staffing temps is a different beast.. A beast I want zero to do with. Full-time direct hires is where it's at!
