Barbara Launer: Mountain, Ltd.
Company Profile

MOUNTAIN, LTD. is a worldwide leader in the staffing industry, a global staffing solutions provider, and an international permanent placement firm since 1979.

Our highly trained and certified staff of Recruiters and Account Managers work with companies to find the best temporary talent to staff short and long term projects, as well as the right candidates for permanent positions. We also have the ability to assemble front and/or back office teams built to satisfy a company's specific operational needs.

Our staff also works with individuals seeking employment to help them find temporary or permanent jobs across a wide range of industries that fit their professional and personal lifestyle needs.

Our definition of QUALITY is not subjective. We always have strived to provide the best possible service. After the rigorous process of meeting the requirements, we need to maintain the system to satisfy an annual re-certification.

Although the spirit of providing the utmost quality has been the foundation of our company since inception, the formal certifying process ensures that the minutest details get their due attention. This gives a formal policy with which to train and review the work of new employees to assure consistency.

The ISO and TL certifications are standards of excellence recognized in the global economy. We are extremely proud to say that MOUNTAIN, LTD.TM is the first contract staffing and permanent placement recruiting firm to earn both certifications.


QUALITY POLICY

MOUNTAIN, LTD.TM consistently provides services that meet the requirements and expectations of our clients, applicants and employees. We actively pursue quality through programs that enable each employee to do their job right the first time and every time.


QUALITY COMMITTMENT

Our team at MOUNTAIN, LTD.TM is committed to providing quality services to our customers and employees. We have completed certification with ISO 9001:2000 and TL 9000. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is recognized as the world’s largest developer of standards. TL 9000 extends the ISO requirements with telecommunications specific quality standards and measurements.

We continually measure our quality through customer and supplier satisfaction and implement improvements as necessary. Independent auditing of our quality management system insures that our customers and employees receive consistent high quality service.


Bio: Barbara Launer
Direct Placement Coordinator and Internal Auditor

As Manager of our Direct Placement Recruiting Team and ISO Internal Auditor, Barbara Launer is a unique and very fitting addition to our staffing company. With MOUNTAIN, LTD TM’s ISO 9001 certification, quality management is an ongoing process. Barbara is the “shepherdess” that gently, firmly and with a touch of humor, keeps everyone on the compliance track. With her ISO training and experience, combined with four years as a Direct Placement Recruiting Manager, she knows both the “Why” and the “How.”

Originally from Indiana, Barbara has a BS degree from Indiana State University. She majored in Administrative Systems and minored in Management and received the ISU School of Business Distinguished Scholar Award.

Before moving to Maine, Barbara and her husband, Mark, founded a creative-learning toy manufacturing company and successfully brought it to the national market. In this and several other businesses, Barbara has utilized her education to build and streamline systems: from computerizing manual paperwork processes, to implementing an ISO system, to time and motion studies that increased manufacturing efficiencies.

Analytical, conscientious and thorough in the office, Barbara enjoys being active in the outdoors in her free time. Cross country skiing, ice skating, hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing are her favorites. Barbara and her husband spend time together gardening and working on their 80-acre coastal wooded lot, which is their pride and joy.
