Shooting Industry Insights

Edgemont, SD – HeadHunters NW, the global executive recruiting firm focused exclusively and deliberately on talent acquisition for the international shooting, hunting, and outdoor industry, recently launched a new episode of the HeadHunters NW Podcast featuring Elliot Aquila, Chief Marketing Officer for Silencer Shop. This episode, hosted by Shaylene Keiner, President of HeadHunters NW, explores how a wide-ranging career outside the firearms industry prepared Aquila for success in the outdoor marketplace.

“Learning how Elliot leverages the knowledge and skillset he refined while working all over the globe in positions unrelated to the shooting industry is fascinating,” said Keiner. “His focus on inclusion reveals an outlook that benefits his team, his company, and the future of our industry. We get a sense of how Elliot’s leadership compels his colleagues through goal setting and the use of data in a visual way,” Keiner said. “It all ties together as we learn about his background, work ethic, and insistence on humor,” she added.

“Recognizing that exceptional talent in the shooting industry does not always come from within is important,” stated Keiner. “It is one of the attributes that makes HeadHunters NW a valuable partner in placing executive talent.”
