• Product and process fit

  Discrete, process, high-mix / low-volume and high-volume manufacturing each need distinct signal. Product type and process are captured in intake.

• Plant scale and scope

  Ownership at a 50-person cell is not the same as a 2,000-person plant. Plant scope is captured as first-class evidence.

• Systems, methods and standards

  Lean, Six Sigma, TPS and ISO exposure are captured as structured signals with the artefacts each method produces.

• Location and shift patterns

  Site-specific hiring, shift work and travel-heavy roles are captured explicitly in intake.

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For manufacturing, these are the signals that carry weight:

• Product and process rubric per role
• Plant scale captured in intake
• Methods and standards evidenced from the CV

• Six Sigma Green / Black Belt
• Lean certifications
• CMRP
• CQE / CQM (ASQ)
• APICS CPIM / CSCP
• ISO auditor qualifications

• cGMP for pharma / medical manufacturing
• AS9100 for aerospace
• IATF 16949 for automotive
• ISO 13485 for medical devices
• Food safety (FSMA / HACCP) for F&B

1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
