How we work
You get a specialized recruiter who picks up the phone, knows your company, and remembers the last three people they placed with you. Behind that sits a national network built across nearly four decades of search and placement and every corner of the trade.
One home office, multiple locations. A search that starts in Florida or Ohio and reaches candidates coast to coast the same afternoon.
Where we work
Primary and secondary manufacturing across the wood products sector. We place into these plants often enough to know the equipment, the margins and the people already running them.
Residential, office and contract manufacturing.
Retail environments and display manufacturing.
Stock, semi-custom and custom cabinet shops.
Architectural woodwork and commercial millwork.
Hardwood, engineered and specialty flooring.
Sawmills, kilns, distribution and trading.
Components, panels and related manufacturing.
What we do
Most engagements are contingent — you pay only when someone starts. For senior and genuinely hard-to-fill seats, a retained search buys you our undivided attention.
You pay only on a successful placement. The standard engagement for most openings.
A committed, exclusive search for senior and hard-to-fill roles.
Skills, aptitude and personality assessment before you commit.
Verification and screening handled as part of the placement.
Movers, realtors and cost-of-living guidance for candidates on the move.
Compensation data for the trade, so offers land the first time.
Our process
We learn the role, the plant, the team and the reason the seat is open — not just the job description.
We work our own network in the trade first. Most of the best candidates are not on a job board.
Interviews, references and evaluation before anyone reaches your desk. You see a short list, not a stack.
We manage the offer, the counteroffer and the relocation, then follow up long after the start date.
