Memories (and some jobs) Remain; Longtime Resident Hilti Leaving Tulsa

Hilti North America has been a part of Tulsa since 1979, during which employed many of my friends and family.  They established a name for being a great company to work for, with excellent benefits, competitive wages, employee support, and an admirable work environment.

How do I know? Certainly not because I've ever worked there, even though I tried. Back in 1998, I went through a rigorous recruiting process. Several recruiting and management staff spent an entire day with about a dozen fresh-out-of-college, bright-eyed hopefuls, including myself. As I recall, it was an experience and to this day, I've not forgotten the team building exercises, writing and sales agilities, and final sit-down analysis. I deeply respect and admire all those people that have broken through the gauntlet over the years. As for me, I never again considered going to work at Hilti, not really for the process I endured that day, although, it's certainly fathomable that my sub-conscious influenced me from returning. My career went in an entirely different direction, because now I have my own business in real estate that includes listing and selling residential properties.

Regardless, I've known good friends and clients who worked at Hilti over the years and they all give/gave nothing less than positive reviews. Generally, if you know someone who 'worked' at Hilti, chances are they actually still do. I believe Hilti employees are hard-working individuals who are committed to making their employer succeed. As a result, many Hilti employees have been such for a very long time, and if they haven't already been a Tulsa native, they most certainly feel like one now, which makes the decision to relocate its headquarters that much more disappointing. It pains me to see someone go through a forced job transition, as I know first hand about it. I was part of the telecom boom, and bust, back in 2000-2001. There's lots of things to consider being in that situation, as many Hilti employees are doing now. Thankfully, Hilti has stated they will keep 425 jobs in Tulsa while headquarters are being moved to Dallas. 

One of the reasons I started my business in real estate was to find the freedom to help my community. While I enjoy supporting various local charities and non-profits, I feel this is a great opportunity to help more. If you are, or know, someone being affected by Hilti North America moving their headquarters, please contact me today.

I have created a special offer to help them sell their home in Tulsa, and if they desire, another offer for helping them buy a home in the Dallas area. I will also provide free consultation and a comparative market analysis. My goal is always to provide my clients the most information possible so they can make the best decision. The savings can reach up to $2500, and either way it's certainly worth your time to see how I can help you. At the least, you can see what your home is worth and evaluate your options.
