Companies our team has recruited for

Why hiring managers call us

Good programmers don't apply

Five-axis programmers are employed and not on job boards. We call them directly.

Shift and pay surprises

Shift, pay and relocation are settled before you interview anyone, so offers get accepted.

Leaders who know the floor

Production and plant managers who have run AS9100 shops and hit delivery.

Shops that hold tolerance

Five-axis programmers and production leaders who know first-article inspection are hard to find on job boards. We call people doing the work today.

What we check before you see a resume

  • Machines, controls and software confirmed: 5-axis, Mazak, Haas, Okuma, Mastercam.
  • First-article (AS9102) and inspection experience confirmed for programmers and leads.
  • Shift, pay and relocation expectations settled before you interview anyone.

Questions

Do you fill hourly shop roles?

Yes, when the role is skilled and permanent: CNC programmers, lead machinists and aerospace electricians. Most of our production searches are supervisors and managers.

How does your fee work?

Contingent search: there is no retainer and no fee unless you hire a candidate we introduce. The fee is a percentage of first-year base salary, invoiced on the start date, and covered by a replacement guarantee. We send the one-page terms on the first call.

How fast will we see candidates?

Usually about two weeks from the kickoff call to three to five phone-screened candidates, each with recruiter notes.

Do we have to give you the search exclusively?

No. Keep your own posting and other sources running. You only pay if you hire someone we introduced.
