About Us:
We are a results-driven recruiting agency specializing in direct hire placements across the industrial sector.  We recruit for positions from the shop floor to manager-level roles.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the Full Recruitment Lifecycle

  Use a mix of job boards, Boolean search, CRM/ATS tools, social media, and referral pipelines to proactively source high-quality candidates across all industrial levels.

• Pipeline & Process Management
  Maintain a strong organization, accurate tracking in the ATS, and timely follow-up with clients and candidates.

  Negotiate offers, support onboarding, and ensure a smooth handoff to hiring managers.  Own your placements from open req to the end of their introductory period.

• Recruiting Experience:
  2–5+ years of agency recruiting experience, with proven success in manufacturing, logistics, or industrial environments, is highly preferred. You understand the urgency, pace, and precision these sectors demand.

  You speak the language: terms like IATF, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, PLCs, CNC, and skilled trades certifications (e.g., Journeyman cards) aren’t foreign; they’re familiar.
• Versatility:
  Confidence recruiting for hourly skilled trades, senior-level plant leaders, and everything in between.  The ability to pivot between volume hiring and targeted headhunting.
• Sourcing Mastery:
  Strong Boolean search capabilities, deep job board expertise, and fluency in ATS/CRM tools. You know how to dig deep and surface quality talent quickly and consistently.

  You hustle. You take full ownership of your reqs and deliver results, whether it's for an hourly maintenance tech or a senior-level operations leader.
