The business community is invited to join Oakland County dignitaries and the Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce for a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony welcoming Magnet Consulting to the Rochester Hills area on May 12 at 4pm.

As Michigan continues its economic recovery, companies from across the globe are choosing the Metro Detroit area as home base. One company, Magnet Consulting, is helping businesses—and the cities they call home—in their efforts to assess, hire, develop, and train workforce to prepare for continued growth.

Sandy Fiaschetti, PhD and Nicole Lentz, MSF founded Magnet Consulting in 2012, bringing together both organizational psychology and financial experience from automotive, international, and regional industries to clients across the country.

Magnet Consulting works with businesses and municipalities helping them achieve their goals through proven scientific methods of workplace selection and development. Magnet Consulting’s passion is to see businesses perform better because of the value they place on developing their culture, leaders, and team members.

“We want to see businesses succeed,” said Fiaschetti. “In order to do that, they need a unified corporate vision and valuesâ??, qualified and dedicated team players, and a commitment to actually living out those vision and values. We have strategic, practical methods to get businesses and individuals where they need to be.”

In addition to workforce selection, â??development and executive coaching in corporations, Magnet Consulting works with municipalities to re-vamp hiring practices. The firm has played an integral part in the restructuring of the City of Detroit, providing the city's hiring managers with structured, behavior-based interview processes that allow candidates to reveal their job-related skills and competencies.

“Many times people have a gut feeling that they’re good at interviewing, but unfortunately, the research doesn’t support that unstructured interviews and gut feelings produce quality hiring results, explains Fiaschettiâ??. "There is a science behind what we do. We combine the science and business practicality to provide our clients with the best selection tools possible.”

Magnet can customize outcomes for clients and deliver quality outcomes, without the overhead usually associated with large consulting firms. Each company’s culture—and thus need—is different. With Magnet Consulting, companies across the globe are experiencing better hiring practices, a more productive workforce and overall business growth.

Magnet Consulting is located at 455 South Livernois, Suite B24 in Rochester Hills, MI. For more information, visit www.magnetconsulting.com or call 844-MAGNET-3. RSVP for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony via email at info@magnetconsulting.com or by visiting the Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce website.
