Former Maintenance Manager
We’ve owned the maintenance budget, the PM schedule and the 2 a.m. downtime call. We know what a strong department looks like.

Why EAS?
Most recruiters have never touched a production line. We have.
That’s the difference. We’ve been the maintenance technician troubleshooting a line at 2 a.m. We’ve managed maintenance departments. We know the difference between someone who can talk about PLCs and someone who can actually diagnose one.
Former PLC Technician
We’ve stood at the panel with a laptop and a deadline. We can tell who can actually diagnose a PLC and who only talks about it.
Former Automation Engineer
We’ve commissioned lines, written the logic and chased the intermittent fault. We screen for real automation skill.
Former Electrical Maintenance Technician
We’ve pulled the wire, chased the fault and kept the line running. We know the hands-on work because we’ve done it.
Built around a real advantage
The McKinsey of manufacturing recruiting
We don’t feel like a staffing company because we aren’t one. EAS is the manufacturing talent authority — built by people who ran the maintenance and automation teams we now recruit.
- Manufacturing only. Direct hire only.
- We understand maintenance and automation because we’ve done it ourselves.
- We specialize in the hardest-to-fill technical roles.

Our Process
A proven, technical search process
Companies want to know how the work gets done. Here is exactly how we run every search — from the plant floor to follow-up.
Discovery
We walk your floor (in person or virtually), learn your equipment, shift structure, and what “good” actually looks like for the role.
Technical Recruiting
We tap our manufacturing network and target the passive technicians and engineers who never apply to job boards.
Candidate Screening
Every candidate is vetted for stability, motivation, shift fit, and the practical skills the role demands.
Technical Interview
We interview on PLCs, controls, troubleshooting and reliability — because we’ve done the work ourselves.
Client Interview
We present a short list of qualified, interested candidates and coordinate the entire interview loop for you.
Offer
We manage the offer, counter-offer and resignation conversation so your hire actually shows up on day one.
Follow-Up
We check in through onboarding and the full guarantee period to make sure the placement sticks.
