Steven Beck
Founder | SB Solutions Inc.
I started recruiting before fax machines were considered obsolete, which tells you two things: I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve successfully navigated through the evolution of the recruitment industry.
As a nationally recognized top Sales Recruiter with Snelling & Snelling, I decided to start SB Solutions Inc. because I believed recruiting could be done better. Less noise. More listening. Better outcomes.
I’ve recruited across MedTech, life sciences, automation, technology, building materials, market research, and cold chain, primarily in sales, service, and leadership roles. What hasn’t changed is my approach. I don’t pretend to be the technical expert, I let the experts BE the experts. I focus on asking the right questions, listening carefully, and identifying professionals who already know how to operate in complex environments.
Today my focus is clear
I partner with life science and biotech equipment manufacturers and automation firms that support regulated production. These are environments where uptime matters and hiring mistakes are costly.
Personally
I’m a drummer / vocalist, a left-handed golfer, a life-long tennis player who’s strayed to the dark side, Pickleball, and an eBike rider. I had three holes-in-one in a single year, which conveniently ignores the hundreds of bad shots that surrounded them. I’m also a dog lover. Kona, our rescued Rat Terrier / King Charles mix, takes her role as SBS’s Chief Security Officer very seriously.
After 36 years of marriage, I can confidently say I’m stable and committed (however, my wife’s been secretly thinking I should have been committed a long time ago) but that’s a story for another time…
