Magellan Professional Solutions, Inc. was formed in 2004, to provide clients with the highest quality candidates for engineering, leadership and technical positions that require detailed screening and a customized hiring approach. The company was built on the values of "honesty" and "integrity" with "respect" to candidates and clients alike. The business endeavor has been a resounding success with our model of in-depth screening and concentrated recruiting efforts without requiring job seekers or clients companies having to attend an offsite recruiting event competing over the same talent.
As the President of Magellan Professional Solutions, Michael manages the fulfillment side of Magellan. Michael has been helping veterans transition out of the military over the course of the past 20 years into civilian employment opportunities. He has developed recruiting methods that he tailors to each individual, preparing them for the interview process as well as setting proper expectations to make their new employment role a seamless progression. Serving in the Navy for 10 years on active duty as a SWO, then another 18 years in active reserve positions has provided Michael first-hand knowledge about military professions that Magellan specializes in and has a solid reputation for setting job-seekers up for success.

Mr. Erikson was one of the most professional head hunters I have ever worked with. I spent a lot of time with different agencies trying to find a company that was a good fit for me and only Michael (and his partner Douglas Long) seemed to understand that. They took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for. I was only ever presented careers that Mike and Doug were very knowledgeable about, and was prepped well for the interviews. If you are in the market for a career change I highly recommend working with them and with Magellan. - William Grover (Commissioning Agent-CSG)
"Michael and his team did an outstanding job of finding and preparing me for a new career in the energy sector. It was a long process due to the nature of the business I am now going into and he was there every step of the way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new career or transitioning from the military. Thank you Michael, well done". - Tim Johnson (Energy Consultant-MAL)
Michael was an honest recruiter who assisted me, even though I took a job at another nuclear plant. He worked diligently to acquire a position for me and was genuinely pleased for me when I made a different decision. I have maintained communications with Michael and would seek out his services again if the opportunity presented itself. Also, if I was looking to fill a position for a company, I would seek out Michael's services. Michael has a high level of integrity that is often difficult to find. - Daniel Mickinac (Licensing Supervisor - Southern Company)
