Furniture World News Desk on 9/1/2015

Design Management Company (“DMC”), and its principal consultant and founder Lloyd Princeton, announced the addition of Mona J. Delia as Director of Communications and Executive Search coinciding with the launch of the new DMC recruiting website www.idtalentsearch.com, with a specific focus on retained searches.

“As we launch the new DMC website, with a keen focus on recruiting within the architectural and design industries, adding Mona to our staff was a step in the right direction,” commented Lloyd. “Mona’s experience in her former position, coupled with her broad business experience garnered over nearly three decades, made her a strategic choice for DMC.”

Mona, who was most recently with the High Point Market Authority in the role of Vice President, Communications overseeing marketing and communications, will add close to 30 years of corporate communications, recruiting, and general business best practices to the DMC portfolio of skills offered to design professionals, design industry companies, corporations and trade organizations.

The launch of the DMC recruitment website, www.idtalentsearch.com, is representative of the current direction of the A&D community in a new economy and the changes in this landscape since the launch of the company in 1999. DMC has over 20 years of successful recruiting in the interior design and home furnishings industry and will guarantee that we will help you avoid the unnecessary cost of a wrong hire.

“The launch of www.idtalentsearch.com is in response to the heightened economic environment interior design professionals find themselves operating within,” stated Lloyd. “In every consulting session where we review a client’s major goals and initiatives, the primary issue is the need for qualified candidates for positions within these interior design and architectural firms, as well as showrooms and manufacturers.

“DMC excels at securing the most qualified candidates for our clients, honing in on industry-specific expertise in our searches allowing DMC to identify the optimal candidates whether our client is seeking an interior design professional, C-Suite executive, or showroom manager.

“Included in our recruiting services through www.idtalentsearch.com are site visits, staffing recommendations, compensation surveys, and strategic advice about your business. However, we are also cognizant of the dilemmas that face design candidates and work with them closely through the recruiting process.”
