Proper Recruiting is a boutique technical search firm built for the Fifth Industrial Revolution. Where most recruiters cover one slice, we place the whole industrial stack — the people who build, sell, and connect modern industry — so one partner can staff the entire problem, not just one seat. THE NUMBERS: ▶ 34-day average placement (industry average: 57) ▶ 94% retention after 12 months ▶ 83% promoted within 24 months ▶ 300+ direct placements ▶ 90%+ fill rate A PARTNER, NOT A VENDOR We don't fill a req and move on. The best searches start with the business — where it's headed, the problem behind the seat — and the right hire changes the trajectory, not just the headcount. A new line or launch is never one hire; it's correlated roles across sales engineering, core engineering, automation, and data, over months. Because we place across all of them, one relationship can carry a build-out from first seat to full team — instead of handing you to four different desks. → LONG-TERM BY DESIGN — relationships that outlast any single placement. → CULTURE BUILDERS — every candidate interaction reflects your mission and values while you scale. → TRUE HEADHUNTING — direct outreach to the passive talent that doesn't answer job posts. → ONE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY — every search run personally, intake through delivery, with real-time transparency and a commitment that holds until the role is filled. SELECTED WINS ▶ Senior Account Executive — Lidar / EV ▶ Solutions & Application Engineers — IoT, manufacturing & automotive ▶ Founding RF Engineer — defense applications ▶ Data & Analytics Engineers — across industries ▶ The specialized searches others walked away from WE SPECIALIZE IN: Sales & Application Engineering | Data & Analytics | Software & Connected Systems | Core Engineering & Automation | Technical Leadership The Hardest Technical & Commercial Searches in Industrial Tech — Placement Done Right
