INDUSTRIAL & OPERATIONS RECRUITING

The people who keep physical businesses running.

Manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and material handling — from plant floor leadership to operations executives, recruited by people who understand how the work actually gets done. Across North America, EMEA, APAC, and the GCC.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Industrial hiring punishes generalists.

A recruiter who’s never walked a plant floor can’t tell a maintenance supervisor who runs preventive programs from one who just fights fires. They can’t evaluate whether a logistics manager has actually run a multi-site network or just held the title. Industrial and operations roles look interchangeable on paper and are anything but in practice — which is exactly why generalist agencies flood you with candidates who interview fine and fail in the field. Our industrial practice screens on operational substance, so the shortlist you see has already cleared that bar.

WHAT WE RECRUIT

Four specialties, one practice.

Manufacturing

Plant managers, production supervisors, quality, maintenance leadership, continuous improvement, EHS.

Supply Chain

Supply chain managers and directors, procurement, planning, inventory and demand leadership.

Logistics

Distribution and warehouse leadership, transportation management, fleet and 3PL operations.

Material Handling

Equipment sales and service leadership, dealer operations, parts and aftermarket, territory sales — the specialty this practice was built on.

INDUSTRIAL SALES

Technical sales is its own discipline.

Equipment, components, and industrial services are sold by people who speak the operator’s language. We recruit industrial sales reps, territory managers, and sales leadership — backed by the same sales recruiting practice that runs our SaaS and enterprise searches.

WHY AXE

A dedicated practice. Not a buzzword strategy.

01 — Screened on operational substance

Candidates evaluated on what they’ve actually run — sites, teams, P&L, safety records — not title inflation.

02 — Shortlists worth your time

Three to five candidates who’ve cleared a real evaluation beats a stack of lookalike résumés.

03 — A 90-day guarantee

If the hire doesn’t work out in the first 90 days, we make it right.
