More than recruiting.
We built the tools, the talent pipeline, the screening, and the market intelligence behind industrial equipment recruiting done right.
Why a specialist beats a generalist
We only do industrial equipment.
We don't recruit for hospitals or software. We recruit compressed air, pumps, vacuum, HVAC, and automation. That focus means we already know your roles, your competitors, and what good looks like.
We reach the people who aren't looking.
The best field service techs and sales engineers are not on job boards. We know them, and they take our call.
We move in days, not months.
Tell us the role today. Qualified, pre-vetted candidates on your desk within 72 hours.

Meet the Owners of Top Industrial Talent
I spent 15 years in manufacturing, working my way up to Plant Manager before making the transition into industrial recruiting.
That experience changed the way I recruit.
I know what it is like to depend on skilled maintenance professionals, engineers, technicians, and operations leaders because I have been responsible for building and leading those teams myself.
When I entered recruiting, I quickly realized the technology available was built for general hiring, not for the specialized world of industrial equipment. Instead of accepting that limitation, I built the recruiting tools I wanted to use.
Today, I combine real manufacturing experience, industrial recruiting expertise, and proprietary technology to help employers hire better people, faster.
My goal is simple. To become your first call and remain first of mind whenever hiring matters.

Together, Matt and Grace have built Top Industrial Talent around one simple belief. Industrial companies deserve recruiters who understand their business, invest in the right technology, and never lose sight of the people behind every hire.
