The June issue of Celebrate Arkansas - in time for the Walmart Shareholders' meeting - showcases how Walmart and its suppliers give back to the community. Celebrate paints a vivid picture of the generosity and opportunity our community holds.

The same issue contains a profile of Cameron Smith, written by Kristal Kuykendall. Kristal writes about how Cameron has built a remarkable reputation and a successful firm by creating win / win deals for clients and candidates over the past 15 years. Here are some quotes from the article:

• Re: discovering the supplier community: "I told them I was slanting my business toward the Walmart supplier market. Today there are approximately 1,200 suppliers with offices here. So I was a little bit lucky with my timing."
• "Our biggest growth area right now is our retail division; we have been retained by Walgreens to fill a big recruiting assignment due to the changes they are making in their organization."
• Re: using recruiters during lean times: "There are so many people out of work that when our client companies post a job, they are inundated with resumes - who's got time to sift through 1,000 resumes? We help narrow the search to a short list of qualified candidates and save our cilents a great deal of time."
