We expect our recruiters to continuously evaluate new technology and determine how it can help them work smarter, search deeper, communicate better, and produce stronger recruiting results. AI should enhance professional judgment—not replace it.

Proven staffing/recruiting experience within relevant technical or industrial markets.
Demonstrated success sourcing candidates for hard-to-fill positions.
Strong understanding of proactive candidate sourcing and passive candidate recruitment.
Current, practical experience using ChatGPT, Claude, or comparable AI technology in your professional workflow.

- A long-term relationship mindset rather than transactional recruiting
- Our Expectations
We are building a recruiting organization that combines experienced recruiters, deep industry knowledge, advanced sourcing capabilities, strong relationships, and AI-enabled technology.
We want people who are excited about where recruiting is going—not people trying to preserve the way recruitig was done ten years ago.
If you have the industry experience, sourcing ability, professional standards, and technology mindset to consistently find great people for difficult positions, we want to talk with you.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
