Specialist search: manufacturing & industrial engineering

Manufacturing & industrial engineering

Four candidates. Not a stack of twelve.

Engineers and operations leaders in manufacturing and industrial businesses. A mapped market and a shortlist of four people who will actually take the job. Sending twelve is a way of transferring the work back to you.

Salary bands on every role

Services

Two audiences, honestly

Most agency sites are written entirely for employers and then wonder why candidates don't return calls.

Results

I ignore recruiter calls as a rule. I answered Brandt's because I'd already looked at their site and every role had a real number on it. That is not normal in this industry.

Process

How we run a search

Same process whether you're hiring or looking. The difference is who pays.

  1. Brief or conversation

    Employers: the real requirement, not the job description. Candidates: what you'd actually move for, which is rarely just money.

  2. Map the market

    We work one sector, so we largely know who's out there already. Mapping is confirmation rather than discovery.

  3. Shortlist

    Four candidates with a written assessment of each, including the reservations. A stack of twelve means we haven't done our job.

  4. Offer & aftercare

    We manage the offer, the counter-offer and the resignation. We check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, which is when placements actually fail.

Four, not twelve

The kind of floor the four have worked.

Every shortlist comes from people who have stood on a floor like this one. That is why it is four names and not a stack.

Hiring, or quietly looking?

Either conversation is confidential and neither commits you to anything. Candidates: we'll tell you what you're worth right now even if you don't move.

Or leave your details and we'll call you back.
