Retained Search

When you’re hiring for mission‑critical leadership or niche technical roles in automotive, manufacturing, or logistics, you need a partner who treats your search as their own. Our retained search model ensures dedicated, senior‑level attention from kickoff through onboarding. We immerse ourselves in your company culture, map the talent landscape, and proactively engage top‑tier candidates—even those not actively looking. With transparent milestones, regular progress updates, and a commitment to depth over breadth, we deliver thoroughly vetted executives, engineers, and operational leaders who drive growth and innovation.

Contingent Search

For volume hires or roles where speed and cost‑efficiency matter most, our contingent search offering provides agile, performance‑based recruiting. You only invest when we succeed—no upfront fees, just a competitive placement percentage of the candidate’s first‑year compensation. Leveraging advanced sourcing techniques, including AI‑driven resume screening and precision Boolean/X‑ray searches, we generate a pipeline of qualified professionals in automotive production, plant engineering, supply‑chain coordination, and beyond. Quick turnarounds and deep industry networks ensure you meet your hiring goals without a sacrifice to quality.
