Leadership hiring in manufacturing must be handled with the same discipline methodology as capital planning, safety programs, and reliability initiatives. It requires industry fluency, operational judgment, and a structured, accountable search process — not a transactional recruiting model.
Priority Search is a mutually committed focused, targeted, and proactive search campaign, conducted by a dedicated team to specifically identify, qualify, and acquire passive candidates from identified companies.
Why We Use Priority Search
Priority Search is the best solution to search for leadership positions at the C-level, mid department level, and key technical position such as engineering or quality assurance. These are the key people that determine the success of your business.
What Are The Results
Priority Searches yield higher caliber A player passive candidates achieving a 94% search success, and retention rate on candidates that we have placed over the past decade.
