Direct Hire Recruiting

With more than 70 years of combined technical recruiting experience, our manufacturing recruiters know exactly where to find the top candidates. We continuously build our network with high‑caliber professionals you won’t see from standard job postings because they are not actively looking.

We invest time up front to really understand your company, culture, and technical needs. Our goal is to send you highly qualified candidates on the first attempt. Once a job search is launched our clients typically receive 3-5 resumes of qualified candidates within 5 business days.

Through RPO, you can transfer all or part of the recruitment function to our dedicated team — letting us handle talent acquisition strategies, sourcing, screening, and coordination. Acting as an extension of your HR department, our manufacturing recruitment specialists bring deep industry knowledge, proven tools, and a strong talent network engineered for technical and operational roles.
