Might want to watch Kimberly-Clark, Wasau Paper, etc., as well. Don't have a clue if their hiring but just offering a few more names.
As for a "tough nut to crack," that is an understatement. Even living in the state is no gimme. Years ago I had an inside lead and help getting my paperwork through KC. The night of the interview I talked to my buddy and he said I was the most qualified they were interview (there were three of us) and I should have no problem. Day of the interview there were suddenly four of us. As we took the tour through HR, Number 4 walked the halls saying "Hey Jim, Hi Mary, good morning Beth, How ya doin' Pete, etc." Guess who got the job? Number four had three pages of references from the HR department alone and was a "friend of a friend of" ...well, you get the picture. Great guy and as far as I know he's still there (15 years later to give you representation of their turn over), but just goes to show even insider help may not be enough.
I don't mean to discourage your search. Pound the pavement, get to know folks, network network network.
