Leadership That Transforms Operations

Executive-level positions require more than technical expertise—they demand visionary leadership, strategic thinking, and the ability to inspire teams while driving measurable results. Our executive search practice specializes in identifying and placing senior leaders who can transform operations, drive strategic initiatives, and build high-performing teams.

We understand that executive-level hiring requires a different approach. It's not just about matching skills to job descriptions; it's about finding leaders whose vision aligns with your company's culture and long-term objectives.

Roles We Fill

• Chief Operating Officers and Vice Presidents of Operations
• Supply Chain Directors and Logistics VPs
• Distribution Center General Managers
• Manufacturing Plant Directors
• Transportation and Fleet Management Executives
• Warehouse Operations Directors
• Quality and Continuous Improvement Leaders

Our Executive Search Process

We begin every executive search with a deep discovery phase, spending time understanding not just the role requirements, but your company's strategic direction, culture, and growth plans. This allows us to identify candidates who won't just fill a position—they'll become catalysts for organizational success.

Our extensive network includes proven leaders currently employed at Fortune 500 companies, mid-market growth companies, and specialized logistics providers. We approach every search with discretion and professionalism, understanding the sensitive nature of executive-level recruiting.

What Sets Our Executive Search Apart

• Industry Specialization: We exclusively focus on logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing, giving us deep insights into the challenges and opportunities in these sectors.
• Proven Track Record: Our placed executives have gone on to achieve remarkable results, from reducing operating costs by millions to implementing transformational technology initiatives.
• Comprehensive Assessment: We evaluate leadership style, change management capabilities, financial acumen, and cultural fit—not just resume credentials.
• Confidential Approach: We handle every search with the utmost discretion, protecting both your organization and the candidates we approach.
• Long-term Partnership: Our relationship doesn't end with a placement. We provide ongoing support and check-ins to ensure successful integration.

The Executive Search Timeline

Executive searches typically span 60-90 days from kickoff to offer acceptance. Our process includes:

• Strategic intake session to define success criteria and cultural requirements
• Market mapping and competitive intelligence gathering
• Targeted outreach to passive candidates in our network
• In-depth interviews and leadership assessments
• Presentation of candidate slate with detailed profiles
• Interview coordination and debrief sessions
• Reference checking with previous direct reports and supervisors
• Offer negotiation and transition support

Investment in Excellence

Executive search is an investment in your organization's future. Our fees reflect the complexity of the search, the seniority of the role, and the transformational impact the right leader will have on your business. We offer flexible engagement models including retained search for C-suite roles and container/exclusive arrangements for VP and Director-level positions.

Whether you're replacing a retiring executive, building out a new leadership team, or bringing in fresh perspective to drive transformation, we have the expertise and network to deliver exceptional results.

Agility When You Need It Most

Business demands fluctuate. Seasonal peaks, special projects, unexpected absences, and rapid growth all create staffing challenges that require flexible solutions. Our contract staffing service provides skilled professionals precisely when you need them, for exactly as long as you need them.

Whether you need coverage for a few weeks or specialized expertise for a multi-month project, we deliver qualified professionals who can hit the ground running and contribute immediately.

Contract Staffing Solutions

• Seasonal and Peak Period Staffing: Scale your workforce for holiday rushes, harvest seasons, and predictable volume increases
• Project-Based Assignments: Specialized talent for system implementations, facility moves, or process improvement initiatives
• Interim Management: Experienced leaders to fill gaps during transitions or provide expertise for specific challenges
• Short-Term Coverage: Professional coverage for leaves of absence, vacations, or unexpected departures
• Contract-to-Hire: Evaluate candidates in your environment before making permanent commitments

Industries and Roles

Our contract professionals span all levels of logistics and manufacturing operations, including warehouse associates, forklift operators, shipping and receiving clerks, quality inspectors, production workers, logistics coordinators, and operations supervisors.

We maintain a ready pool of pre-screened, qualified candidates in key markets, allowing us to respond quickly to urgent staffing needs. Many of our contract professionals are available on short notice—sometimes within 24-48 hours.

The Contract Staffing Advantage

• Reduced Overhead: No benefits, payroll taxes, or HR administration costs
• Flexibility: Scale up or down as business needs change
• Speed: Fill positions quickly without lengthy hiring processes
• Reduced Risk: Evaluate talent before permanent commitments
• Expertise On Demand: Access specialized skills for specific projects
• Administrative Relief: We handle payroll, workers' comp, and compliance

Quality and Compliance

Every contract professional we place undergoes the same rigorous screening as our direct hire candidates. We verify credentials, conduct background checks, assess skills, and ensure proper certifications. We also handle all employment-related compliance, including workers' compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, and tax withholding.

Our contract professionals receive clear expectations, proper onboarding, and ongoing support to ensure they perform at the level you expect.

Scale Meets Precision

Opening a new distribution center? Expanding production capacity? Launching a new shift? When you need to hire dozens or hundreds of employees quickly while maintaining quality standards, our volume recruiting service delivers results.

We specialize in large-scale hiring campaigns that fill multiple positions simultaneously without sacrificing candidate quality or cultural fit. Our systematic approach, proven processes, and dedicated resources ensure your facility launch or expansion stays on schedule.

Volume Recruiting Scenarios

• Seasonal Ramp-Up: Hiring for peak seasons in retail, e-commerce, food service, and agriculture
• Rapid Growth: Staffing for companies experiencing fast expansion
• Workforce Transformation: Large-scale hiring during company restructuring or process changes

Our Volume Recruiting Approach

Volume recruiting requires a different methodology than traditional one-at-a-time hiring. We deploy a structured, project-based approach that includes dedicated recruiting teams, streamlined screening processes, batch interviewing, coordinated onboarding, and centralized communication.

We begin every volume recruiting engagement with careful planning. We work with you to understand your timeline, create a hiring schedule, establish screening criteria, develop job descriptions, plan interview logistics, and coordinate onboarding activities.

Positions We Fill at Scale

• Warehouse Associates and Material Handlers
• Forklift Operators and Equipment Operators
• Production Workers and Assembly Line Workers
• Shipping and Receiving Clerks
• Quality Control Inspectors
• Packers and Sorters
• Inventory Specialists

Technology and Tools

Our volume recruiting success relies on sophisticated technology platforms that streamline the hiring process. We use applicant tracking systems for efficient candidate management, automated scheduling tools for interview coordination, skills assessment platforms, mobile-friendly application processes, and real-time reporting dashboards.

Quality at Scale

High volume doesn't mean low quality. We maintain rigorous standards throughout the process, including structured screening criteria, consistent interview protocols, skills verification, background checks, reference verification, and cultural fit assessment.

Our volume recruiting campaigns typically achieve 90%+ offer acceptance rates and 85%+ retention after 90 days, demonstrating that speed and quality can coexist.

Partnership Approach

During volume recruiting campaigns, we become an extension of your HR team. We provide on-site recruiting support when needed, attend planning meetings, provide regular status updates, adjust strategies based on results, and ensure clear communication throughout the process.
