Hi, I’m Sam Rima, Operations Manager at Konik. I joined the Konik team in 2015 when I was searching for an opportunity to make a real difference in the daily lives of those around me. Today, I love to help create efficient, people-first processes that support our recruiters, our clients, and the candidates we serve. My background is in leadership, account management, recruiting, and organizational strategy, and I’ve always believed that strong operations are what make great service possible.
Every day, I get to work alongside an incredible group that’s passionate about positively impacting people’s careers while helping Minneapolis/St. Paul area hiring managers build exceptional technical teams. Whether I’m helping streamline our internal systems or jumping in to support recruiting efforts, I’m focused on creating solutions that move people forward—because when our team runs smoothly, so does everything else.
I love helping professionals in the following areas:
- Mechanical Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- Construction Project Managers
- Construction Superintendent
- Medical Device Engineers
- Operations Manager
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- R&D Engineers
If you’re hiring for a key technical role—or looking to grow your own career—I’d be happy to connect and see how we can help you reach your goals.
Your Expertise, My Network
As a Minnesota recruiting industry insider for over 12 years, I know a thing or two about Who’s Who, the best engineering, manufacturing and architecture companies to work for, and precisely how your skills and background can align with local companies. I love working with briliant, good people and helping them find a new company where their natural abilities can shine.
I personally know many executives and managers in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, and I quickly make warm introductions for you and coordinate in-person interviews. I enjoy the interview and offer stage process and will advocate on your behalf for the best benefits and compensation possible. I’ll also follow up with you after the first days and weeks to ensure you feel great about the new role. It’s my goal to maintain our relationship for the duration of your technical career and to be here when you need sound, experienced advice.
