Retained Recruitment for Manufacturing Professionals

We recruit for a wide range of manufacturing roles across 5 specializations — from individual contributors through director level. Our focus is professional and specialist placements where sector knowledge and passive candidate outreach make the difference.

Most manufacturing placements are completed within 21–40 business days. Highly specialised roles may take toward the longer end. We provide a realistic estimate at the start and weekly written progress updates throughout.

Manufacturing hiring carries consequences that most office-based industries don't. A quality manager who misses a process deviation creates a recall. An EHS professional who cuts corners creates a reportable incident. A plant manager who can't build a team creates turnover that ripples across every shift. Our retained model ensures every manufacturing hire is right — not just available. A retained search means one dedicated recruiter works exclusively on your role — conducting passive candidate outreach, pre-screening credentials, and presenting only candidates who genuinely meet your brief.

Every permanent retained placement includes a 90-day guarantee. If the placed professional departs or is released within 90 days for reasons covered under our guarantee terms, we conduct a full replacement search at no additional fee.

None. The 25-minute consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation to engage. You will leave with a clear picture of what a retained search would look like for your specific role, a realistic timeline, and compensation benchmarks — whether you proceed with TFS or not.
