Jarek McKinney

Jarek McKinney graduated UW-Whitewater with a Human Resources Management degree and got his foot in the door with a company where he could grow, Schneider National. In his time with Schneider, Jarek quickly grew into a Driver Recruiting role and started his career path in HR.

Upon leaving Schneider, Jarek worked as a recruiter in the staffing industry and more recently a manufacturing facility. He was tasked to come in and create a foundation for the manufacturing facility where they never had a recruiting strategy or foundation, but only relied on staffing agencies. Jarek was able to build the recruiting foundation to be successful upon leaving. When he arrived at the manufacturing plant, they had 372 full time employees with 34 temp employees, and upon leaving after nearly 2 years, there were 443 full time employees and no temps (with a 35% turnover ratio).

Jarek then brought his skills to M2 Logistics in April 2019 where he became our first Human Resources hire. He brings with him the ability to build a successful and sturdy foundation with an ability to drive the culture needed to be successful. Jarek is not your typical HR guy. He believes HR exists to support others and serve them and help make their job as easy as possible. Jarek does your typical HR related tasks, but he feels the important part is providing a platform for the people to have a voice and doing anything possible to help make others in the organization successful. Jarek is the tone setter for the culture needed in the workforce and he does not take that lightly.
