Standards Hiring Practices & Rock-Solid Framework

Our recruitment framework overlays best-practice hiring standards with domain nuance.

Role Mapping & Competency Matrices We document required skills (technical, OT/IT exposure, safety/compliance), seniority, and cultural fit markers before sourcing.
Multi-Stage Technical Screening Phone screen → technical interview with domain SMEs → practical assessment (code/firmware exercise, PLC logic sample, architecture case study).
Reference & Background Verification We run structured reference checks and verify past project exposure relevant to manufacturing environments.
Salary Benchmarking & Offer Advisory We advise on competitive compensation packages and relocation/shift allowances for shop-floor roles.
Onboarding Support From offer negotiation to joining formalities and skills gap handover, we help close the loop.
Quality Assurance & Guarantees Post-placement follow-up, performance check-ins and replacement guarantees where applicable.

This standardized but flexible approach reduces hiring cycles, improves quality of hire, and lowers attrition risk for technically demanding roles.

Typical Placements & Timeframes
