Supplying PEOPLE That IMPACT
The Bottom Line
A search and placement firm built inside the wood products industry — furniture, architectural millwork, store fixtures, cabinetry, flooring and lumber. We know the plants, the people, and what actually makes a hire stick.

Primary & secondary manufacturing
How we work
Hometown service. Nationwide reach.
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
Deep in one trade, not spread thin across twenty.
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.
Furniture
Residential, office and contract manufacturing.
Store Fixtures
Retail environments and display manufacturing.
Cabinets
Stock, semi-custom and custom cabinet shops.
AWI & Millwork
Architectural woodwork and commercial millwork.
Flooring
Hardwood, engineered and specialty flooring.
Lumber
Sawmills, kilns, distribution and trading.
Building Products
Components, panels and related manufacturing.
What we do
Search, screening and everything after.
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.
Contingent Search
You pay only on a successful placement. The standard engagement for most openings.
Retained Search
A committed, exclusive search for senior and hard-to-fill roles.
Testing & Evaluation
Skills, aptitude and personality assessment before you commit.
Background Checks
Verification and screening handled as part of the placement.
Relocation Assistance
Movers, realtors and cost-of-living guidance for candidates on the move.
Salary Benchmarking
Compensation data for the trade, so offers land the first time.
Our process
Four steps, and we stay past the start date.
- 01
Intake
We learn the role, the plant, the team and the reason the seat is open — not just the job description.
- 02
Search
We work our own network in the trade first. Most of the best candidates are not on a job board.
- 03
Screen
Interviews, references and evaluation before anyone reaches your desk. You see a short list, not a stack.
- 04
Close
We manage the offer, the counteroffer and the relocation, then follow up long after the start date.
Open roles
