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 Partner flat 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.

The Math

What you save per hire.

Standard pricing is a flat fee for skilled trades, 15% for professional roles, and 20% for roles at $130K+ base. The Priority Partner Program replaces it with lower flat fees on every role. Here’s what that looks like for common hires.

Example HireStandardPartner Flat FeeSavings per hire
Senior machinist, $72K$6,500$5,500$1,000
Quality engineer, $85K$12,750$11,500$1,250
Process engineer, $100K$15,000$11,500$3,500
Quality manager, $120K$18,000$14,000$4,000
Plant director, $150K$30,000$18,000$12,000

Plus the $1,500/mo retainer is credited toward placements. Hire one $100K engineer in month three and your $4,500 in retainer is fully credited, and you still save $3,500 on the fee.

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.
