EXECUTIVE RECRUITER IVAN BAKSAY CELEBRATES LIFE, WORK AND TENURE
(Portland) -- Older adults are healthier, living longer and more inclined than at any time in recent decades to work past the traditional retirement age of 65. A majority of those who do so say they keep working mainly for the intangible rather than the economic rewards. One such employee is Ivan Baksay, age 78, an executive recruiter with Management Recruiters of Portland.
Baksay, who has a Ph.D. in chemistry and worked in the industry for many years, redefined his career over thirty years ago by becoming a recruiter specializing in technical areas such as semiconductors, medical electronics and robotics.
“Ivan is a top recruiter not only at our firm, but also within the network of more than 800 offices that make up the MRINetwork international organization,” says Steve Ross, president of Management Recruiters of Portland. “He reached the $5 million mark in 2002 and has frequently ranked among the Top Ten recruiters regionally and nationally throughout his 31 years with us.”
Dedicated to furthering his expertise, in 1985 Baksay earned the Certified Senior Account Executive (CSAM) designation, a certification that promotes the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
One of Ivan’s keys to success is his steadfast focus on the basics of recruiting, says Ross. “As an organization we train on the basics every day in meetings, and he not only applies them, he can recite them verbatim. As in most endeavors, only a few will train to that level. Ivan has been an inspiration to all of us here at Management Recruiters of Portland.”
Baksay downplays what he calls the “hoopla” surrounding his achievements. “The work is what matters – the results for my clients and my candidates,” he says. “I’m not really interested in the awards and the prizes. That’s not what motivates me.”
Nor is retirement in his immediate future. “Work is what defines me,” he says. “I don’t buy into the myth that productivity necessarily declines as we age. I am just as productive today as I ever was – maybe even more so.”
