Many organizations overlook the strategic significance of a robust recruitment function until they face serious workforce challenges. However, successfully matching candidates with the right skills, qualifications, and cultural fit can profoundly impact a company’s success. Finding the right people isn’t just about filling open positions; it’s about aligning goals, fostering unity, and setting the stage for new objectives and initiatives. This alignment drives a sense of purpose and helps organizations adapt and thrive in a dynamic market environment.

The Ardent Visionary

Josh Wand is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ForceBrands. He is an entrepreneur who creates businesses that power the growth of consumer brands by connecting people, technology, and community.  His entrepreneurial journey began in 2007 when he founded ForceBrands, the leader in strategic hiring for consumer brands that offers a full spectrum of services for recruitment as well as a job board for consumer brand professionals.

Through building consumer businesses, Josh recognized the lack of consistency and data around field activations and agency relations. This led him to launch PINATA in 2016, a task management software platform that optimizes operational field management and data transparency. In 2021, Josh, alongside fellow entrepreneurs, co-founded a specialized venture capital firm, The Family Fund and Founder Community (FFFC) that invests alongside top-tier firms and repeat entrepreneurs.
