Michael Wist

MickMichael Wist was born in Baltimore, Maryland in February, 1974 and grew up in the nearby suburb of Pasadena. Michael, known as “Mick” to friends, matriculated from Mount Saint Mary’s College in 1996, with degrees in English and Economics.

Mick’s initial career path led him to work in a law firm, where he confirmed what he had always known — working for the man wasn’t nearly as much fun as being the man. Mick is a strategic thinker who possesses the rather rare ability to quickly discern the gist of any given social or business situation. As such, he was born not believing in Santa Claus and became disenchanted with the American political process in 1982, at the age of eight.

Mick also possesses a keen insight into the human condition and dry witticisms roll from his tongue like breakers endlessly tumbling onto the beach. He is clinically modest and a true master of self-praising imagery (see previous sentence).

Mick lives in Ellicott City, Maryland with his lovely wife Allison and their two champion Maltweilers. Together with friend and business partner Matt Blevins, Mick has built and managed numerous businesses and continues his entrepreneurial pursuits with Insourced.

The site/service is described as The Social Media Job Search Engine - and I’d say that sounds fairly accurate. Based on the information on the site, they will be […]

Recruiting Concepts: The Value of a Free Job Board

By: Mick, March 17th, 2009

Typically, things that are available for free are worth very little to us. That excludes some things, of course, like happiness, oxygen, that second entree of equal or lesser value - and your trusted source for unlimited free job postings for employers, recruiters and staffing agencies. The beauty of the Insourced model is that we […]
