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.

  1. 01

    Intake

    We learn the role, the plant, the team and the reason the seat is open — not just the job description.

  2. 02

    Search

    We work our own network in the trade first. Most of the best candidates are not on a job board.

  3. 03

    Screen

    Interviews, references and evaluation before anyone reaches your desk. You see a short list, not a stack.

  4. 04

    Close

    We manage the offer, the counteroffer and the relocation, then follow up long after the start date.

For job seekers

Never a fee. Not now, not ever.

Interview travel, relocation and placement fees are paid by the hiring company — never by you. Applying costs you nothing but the sixty seconds it takes to send a resume.

Browse open rolesHow it works

  • Sixty seconds

    Name, email, phone, resume. No account, no password, no eleven-page form.

  • Never a fee

    Interview travel, relocation and placement costs are paid by the hiring company.

  • A person reads it

    Your resume goes to a recruiter who works this trade, not into an applicant tracking black hole.
