AMM Communications Launches Executive Search Division

AMM Communications Launches Executive Search Division

September 7, 2017 – AMM Communications LLC, a St. Louis-based public relations, communications skills training and marketing firm, has launched an executive search division to help clients identify talent for management positions in sales, business development, marketing, finance, accounting, operations and administration.

Ed Mayuga, a partner at AMM Communications, will manage the new division while overseeing the talent acquisition process. He has nearly 20 years of executive recruitment experience. Before joining the company, Mr. Mayuga was a consultant with Collaborative Strategies, where he assisted clients in recruiting and retaining professionals across all functions including executive management, sales, marketing, finance and human resources.

“Since 2008, we’ve helped multiple clients place A-players within their organizations as part of a strategic marketing plan,” said Mr. Mayuga. “The demand is there, and it has become increasing difficult to recruit and retain top talent as the U.S. economy has improved.”

Mr. Mayuga said he uses a proprietary and customized search process that has a retention rate of more than 90 percent for new hires after the first year. What sets the AMM Communications executive search process apart from other search firms, he said, is that the talent acquisition is guaranteed. If for some reason the new hire is not a fit for the position, AMM Communications will reopen the search free-of-charge.

“I have extensive experience in sales, business development, marketing, recruiting, and executive search with Fortune 100 companies, and I bring this experience to each consulting engagement,” said Mr. Mayuga.
