The Challenge — Finding a technical engineer with the exact manufacturing background required
A well-known dietary supplement brand needed an Engineering and Technical Services Manager to strengthen and modernize its in-house manufacturing operations.
- Mechanical Engineering degree
- Manufacturing engineering experience producing the same specific products the company manufactured and sold
- Technical expertise to upgrade aging facilities and support the redesign or buildout of a new manufacturing plant
- Strong alignment with the company's operational and growth objectives
Our Approach — A network-driven search for a candidate standard platforms couldn't surface
Because the required experience was highly specialized and not easily identifiable on standard recruiting platforms, we leveraged our proprietary search process and deep nutraceutical industry network.
- Utilized our established relationships with nutraceutical manufacturers to generate targeted referrals
- Identified a high-caliber candidate through our industry network who possessed the precise product and manufacturing background needed
- Conducted a rigorous multi-interview process to evaluate and select the strongest candidates
- Presented qualified candidates to the client and scheduled interviews within a few weeks
- Facilitated leadership interviews, extended an offer to the top candidate, and supported the acceptance and out-of-state relocation
The Result — A relocated hire who was promoted within the first year
The selected candidate accepted the offer and relocated, starting in the role just four weeks after the offer was signed. The new hire quickly became an invaluable member of the organization, and within one year was promoted, playing an instrumental role in supporting the company's continued growth.
Outcome: Highly specialized technical talent placed and promoted within a year. This search demonstrates the power of our specialized nutraceutical industry network and proprietary search methodology to identify and place highly qualified technical talent that standard recruiting tools could not surface — delivering speed, precision, and lasting impact.
