What brings you here?

Manufacturing Headhunters helps employers recruit manufacturing professionals. Choose the hiring route if you have an open role, a planned hire or a job description that needs a closer look. Choose the candidate route if you want us to keep your background in mind for relevant searches. The two routes ask different questions because they serve different decisions.

An opening form starts with the work. Tell us the role, plant location and whether the need is immediate or still being planned. A title alone does not explain who makes decisions, what equipment is on the floor or what the person must handle without support. Those are the questions we settle before starting candidate outreach.

You can paste a job description or upload it with your opening. We use it to understand the seat, not as permission to repost the vacancy. If the document mixes several jobs, we discuss what one person can reasonably own. Reporting lines, shift coverage and required credentials deserve a clear answer before a candidate agrees to speak.

A recruiting proposal is a different first ask. Use that form when your team needs to agree on the engagement before sending a final hiring brief. Explain what you want covered and who will approve the search. We discuss the scope and written terms. A request for a proposal does not start an exclusive search or create a fee.

Our default is permanent placement on contingency. There is no upfront fee, and you pay only if you hire a candidate we present under the agreed terms. The signed agreement defines the fee and other conditions. This contact page is not a substitute for that agreement, and it does not quote a percentage or promise a delivery date.

Phone is optional on the form. A working email address is required so we can respond to the request. If you would rather speak first, call the site number. When an opening is confidential, tell us what can be shared and with whom. We agree how to describe the opportunity before reaching into a close manufacturing market.

Manufacturing Headhunters recruits nationwide for local, relocation and traveling roles. A local hire depends on a workable commute and shift. A relocation hire needs a credible reason to move and a practical discussion about the destination. A traveling assignment needs clear requirements for time away. We do not treat those as interchangeable candidate pools.

If you are looking for a job, use the talent network instead of a client request. Tell us about the work you have done and the searches that might fit. Sending a profile does not promise an interview, a response or employment. Employers pay for recruiting; candidates are not asked to pay a recruiting fee to join the network.

After an employer request, we review the opening, contact you to discuss it and decide whether the search is a fit. We calibrate the role before presenting people. If we proceed, you see a focused short list with the reasons each person fits and the issues worth discussing. We do not substitute a stack of unqualified resumes for that conversation.

For a technical seat, the first discussion may cover controls, tooling, quality systems or maintenance responsibility. For a plant leader, it may cover decision authority and the operating problem behind the vacancy. Skilled roles also need an honest shift and commute discussion. The right detail is the detail that changes whom we should approach.

Use the hiring form even if the exact title does not appear in our index. Describe what the person must do and what would make the hire work. We recruit the skilled core of plants and shifts, not high-volume general labor. If a local staffing vendor is a better fit for the request, we will tell you.

Please avoid putting sensitive personal records into an opening or proposal. A useful brief describes the role, not private information about the incumbent. If more sensitive material is needed, agree the handling with us first. You can review our privacy policy before submitting, and you can ask us to correct information connected to your request.
