For candidates
We work with sales engineers, applications engineers and technical sales leaders across US industrial manufacturing. Straight answers, confidential throughout, and no pressure to move for the sake of a fee.
What you can expect
Every one of these exists because it is what people tell us went wrong last time they worked with a recruiter.
We tell you the client, the territory and the real salary band on the first call. If it comes in under what you need, we say so and stop there. Nobody spends four rounds finding out the money was never going to work.
Your resume does not go anywhere until you have said yes to that specific company. No spraying, no "we had you on file", no call from your current employer asking why they saw your CV.
Including when it is us who cannot help. A straight no today is worth more to you than a polite maybe that goes quiet for three weeks.
Before you meet anyone we tell you who is in the room, what they care about, what the last person in the seat got wrong, and where they are likely to push you.
In return
One number you can defend in conversation. Quota attainment, year-on-year growth, a named account you won and how you won it. Not a target you were given — a result you produced.
And tell us the truth about your situation: what you actually earn, what would genuinely make you move, and whether you are talking to anyone else. We can work with almost anything except a surprise in week six.

Questions
Not from us. We never send your details to a company without your explicit approval for that company, by name, first. If there is an employer you specifically want us to avoid, tell us and we block it.
That is normally who we are calling. If nothing fits today, we would rather stay in touch and come back when something does. Nobody gets added to a mailing list.
No. Candidates never pay us, for anything, at any stage. Our fee is paid by the hiring company.
Because we work to it honestly rather than around it. If your number is above the band we tell you immediately instead of using it as a negotiating lever against you.
We keep it so we can come back to you when something relevant opens, and you can ask us to delete it at any time. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.
Within one business day, from a person. Even when the answer is no.
General application
Most of what we work on never gets posted — clients ask us to run searches confidentially and they fill from people already on our radar. Get on it. We will tell you honestly whether we are likely to have something for you.
