Traditional Recruiting
Three ways to engage
Whether you want to minimize upfront risk or maximize dedicated effort, we have a search model that fits.
Contingent Search
No hire, no fee.
You pay only when we successfully place a candidate. We carry the upfront risk while sourcing, screening, and presenting qualified candidates from our active industrial network.
- Active outreach to passive candidates
- Full candidate screening & vetting
- AI-assisted market mapping
- Interview coordination
- Offer negotiation support
- 30-day replacement window
Exclusive Contingency
Priority search. Faster results.
You work exclusively with us for a defined search window. In return, we dedicate priority resources to your role and move faster - typically delivering a shortlist within 10 business days.
- Everything in Contingent Search
- Priority candidate pipeline access
- Dedicated search timeline (10 business days to shortlist)
- Weekly progress reporting
- Expanded AI-powered outreach
- 60-day replacement window
Retained Search
Full commitment. Best outcomes.
For senior leadership and critical hires where thoroughness matters most. A retained engagement means we go all in: building a comprehensive market map, conducting structured interviews, and delivering a curated shortlist of the best available talent.
- Everything in Exclusive Contingency
- Comprehensive market map & org research
- Structured behavioral interviews
- Reference checks included
- Dedicated account executive
- 90-day replacement window
How We Work
Qualify and learn the role. We ask the questions a generalist wouldn't know to ask. Equipment, territory, OEM line card, service model. Then we build a screening rubric specific to your search.
Find and call. Direct outreach into the market. Not job boards. Not email blasts. Real conversations with real professionals about real opportunities.
Screen, verify, and present. Six-dimension evaluation. Reference checks before presentation. 3-5 candidates with profiles that lead with who they are, not what their resume says.
Close and stand behind it. Offer negotiation. Counteroffer management. Up to a 5-year guarantee on exclusive search.
Free Option
Post your job. No cost.

Most recruiters back placements for 90 days. I back mine for 5 years.
On exclusive search engagements, I stand behind every placement for five years. If the hire doesn't work out inside that window, I replace them. Terms are defined in the engagement agreement, not on the web.
That's the level of confidence that comes from 15 years inside the industry, a vetted network of 500+ industrial professionals, and a process built around fit instead of fill rate.
