Technical screening

A resume says PLCs. We ask what they did with one.

Our recruiters come from maintenance and automation. So the conversation with a candidate sounds like one you would have on the floor — not a keyword match.

Before we introduce anyone, we talk through the work itself: what they have troubleshot, which equipment and controls they have actually run, how they handle a breakdown, and whether the shift and site fit. You get our read on each person alongside the resume, and you make the hiring decision.

  4. Leadership scopeFor supervisory roles: crew size, shifts covered, how you set priorities.
  5. FitShift, schedule, commute or relocation, and why this move now.
