Manufacturing companies don't have time for a bad hire or a slow search. A gap in your QC lab affects output. An unfilled engineering role pushes your project timeline back. A missing production supervisor creates chaos on the floor. We understand the pressure, and we move quickly without cutting corners.

We work across the full range of manufacturing and industrial roles, from lab technicians, quality technicians, and R&D scientists to process engineers, mechanical engineers, and quality engineers, alongside operational roles like production supervisors and warehouse coordinators. Whether you're in automotive, chemical, food & beverage, medical device, or general industrial manufacturing, we know the talent in your market.

Ohio is one of the most manufacturing-dense states in the country, and we've spent years building relationships with the people who make it run. We know where to find a lab tech who's been passive for years, a quality engineer ready to step into a senior role, or a process engineer looking for the right next move. Those connections aren't built overnight.

We place on a direct-hire and contract basis, whether you need someone permanent or a skilled professional to cover a critical gap while you search for the right long-term fit.

Our process

How we work

01

We learn the role

We start by understanding your facility, your equipment, your processes, and exactly what skills and experience will make someone successful in your specific environment.

02

We source from our network

The best machinists, engineers, and lab professionals aren't always looking. We reach passive candidates who trust us, people who aren't on job boards.

03

We vet carefully

Every candidate is personally screened for technical fit and cultural match before you see them. You get a focused, qualified slate, not a pile of resumes to sort through.

04

We see it through

We stay involved through offers, negotiations, and the start date, making sure the hire lands and the transition goes smoothly.

Had both Luke and McKayla help me get recruited. Both were kind and offered advice and resources for the interview process. Would recommend both of them with your own job opportunities!

I have had the pleasure of working with Luke these past couple weeks and cannot recommend him enough. He has played an integral role in helping me to find my first career after recently graduating college.

Darby S.

I had an incredible experience working with Luke. He genuinely went out of his way to help me secure what I needed from my new role. It was refreshing to have someone in my corner who truly cared about the outcome. Luke was more than a recruiter; he was a real partner throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
