Priority Partner Program

An embedded recruiting partner — not a vendor.

For manufacturers running production-critical hiring without a TA team. Dedicated search capacity, a structured process, and 6–8 points less in placement fees on every hire.

Who This Is For

Built for a specific kind of operation.

If two or more of these apply to your business, the Priority Partner Program is built for you.

Operating without a TA team.

Hiring sits on a plant manager, COO, or HR generalist already running flat-out.

Hiring continuously, not once.

You don’t have one open req. You have a rolling list across engineering, operations, and trades.

Production-critical roles you can’t leave open.

Vacancies on the floor cost real money in delivery, quality, or ramp.

You want a partner who knows your operation.

You don’t want to re-brief a new recruiter every time a role opens.

How It Works

What’s included, every month.

A retainer that protects your time. A reduced fee that protects your margin.

The Math

What you save per hire.

Standard contingency runs 18–20%. The Priority Partner Program cuts that to 12%. Here’s what that looks like at common salary tiers.

Role SalaryStandard (20%)Partner (12%)Savings per hire
$70,000$14,000$8,400$5,600
$85,000$17,000$10,200$6,800
$100,000$20,000$12,000$8,000
$120,000$24,000$14,400$9,600
$150,000$30,000$18,000$12,000

Plus the $1,500/mo retainer is credited toward placements. One $100k engineer hired in three months and the program has more than paid for itself.

Why It Works

Three principles behind every search.

A structured approach that protects your time, your hiring managers, and your production schedule.

/01

Aligned before we source.

Every engagement starts with a structured intake that defines the role, the must-haves, and how candidates are scored. We agree on the target before we present anyone.

/02

Built for speed on hard roles.

Every week a production-critical role stays open delays delivery, quality, or ramp. Our process is designed to shorten time-to-fill where it costs you most.

/03

Only qualified candidates reach you.

We screen and score against the agreed criteria. Your hiring managers spend their time on people who can actually do the job.
