Fast Five - K2 Sports

K2 is one of the most iconic brands in Snowsports. It was founded on Vashon Island (a place I’ve always wanted to visit) back in 1962. What do you think that wooded forest island was like back in the early 60s when brothers Bill and Don Kirschner founded the company? It sure would be fun to experience a day in the life with them when they were first starting up. We can’t do that but we can present you with a quick Fast Five on the K2 group of brands, there are 10 of’em, and share some current job opportunities with you.

The K2 group recently brought on a new recruiter, Ling Weaver, who's ambitious, motivated, and focused on staffing the company with solid people.  She's a natural networker and recruiter.  K2 has 13 open positions on Malakye right now.  Check the jobs out here and apply, then connect with Ling on Malakye to present yourself as a candidate.
