The “true search methodologies” to the staffing industry

Our focus on a specific industry niche, and vertical segments within that niche

Our focus on a specific industry niche, and vertical segments within that niche, enables us to become intimately familiar with the field, the market and the most qualified candidates. Our certified recruiters are considered experts in their field of specialization and provide personalized service combined with the highest ethical standards.

We bring what we refer to as “true search methodologies” to the staffing industry. It is a process that came from the executive search market and is based on the assumption that we are looking for experts who are on the cutting edge of their specialty. It also assumes that those people are not necessarily looking for employment but must be identified and pursued.

Testimonials

Thank you so much Nikki for your heartfelt holiday wishes. After my first week at work for CVR Energy I can tell you it already feels like home. I just love being in a plant environment, I really like the leadership team and the interactions I've had with them so far, and can't wait to continue to learn and expand my role here. And I couldn't have done any of it without you matching me up with this job--thank you!

Mechanical Engineering Supervisor

Carol, Thank you very much for the insight. You’ve been a huge help throughout this process. Too many talent acquisition folks these days make it a very transactional relationship. Your attention to detail and honest insight really helps provide confidence and a positive experience and I really appreciate it. Thank you again!

major chemical company engineer

In my professional career, I have worked with many different recruiters and staffing agencies and Whitaker Technical has provided me with the best experience. For most recruiters, it’s just about placing someone first and collecting a fee, but my recruiter developed a relationship. She spent considerable time and energy to get to know my personal and professional situation and my goals in life. She guided me in the moments of self-doubt and the search for the right career move. She used her considerable knowledge of the industry to guide me to the right company. I would recommend my friends to work with her in the future based on my extremely good experience.

Faizaan Mustafa, PSM Engineer

I worked with Carol for eight years to finally land that perfect position. Throughout the whole process, she was very professional and courteous. She also provided great insight throughout my decision-making process. There are several recruiting firms; what differentiates Carol (Whitaker Technical) is she removes a considerable amount of the burden from the job search and makes it…FUN!

Rob Walker, Senior Engineering Program Manager

Carol, I wanted to take the time to thank you for all your time and help working with me and (client). This is a second successful career move I have made working with you and definitely appreciate it.

Process Optimization Engineer

Carol, Thank you for the conversation this morning and for taking time out of your Sunday. I really appreciate the feedback! It really summarized the last 20 years of my career and gave me feedback that I hadn’t heard before, which I will definitely use for further development and improvement going forward regardless of the outcome. I can say having interviewed with many companies this particular aspect of your process (feedback) separates you and your company from many other companies and I have found it to be very professionally enriching. Thank you very much.

Jimmy Gowen was more than just a recruiter agent. He was an advisor, a motivational coach and above all, a friend. He made sure I understood the type of organization I was joining in, to the point where, once I was in, I felt like I had been working there for years. The insights he provided made me realize that the company had the right balance between challenging situations and welcoming of experience. I feel that this is my organization now, all thanks to Jimmy. If anyone has the pleasure to work with him, I guarantee that he will not let you down ever. Thank you Whitaker Companies!

Paul Choudhuri and Patricia Simpson go above and beyond to meet not only the client's needs but also to place consultants in exactly the right place. Both communicated and followed through on my every need. They have been supportive and warm and anticipated my questions even before I knew what to ask. If you are a client with a need ... CALL Them!

I'm currently working as contract consultant for Whitaker at a client facility. The hiring process was smooth and easy. The Whitaker rep has been friendly and stayed in contact throughout the contract, providing client feedback. If an issue arises, he acts as liaison with the client. It's been the best, most personal experience I've had as a contractor. At Whitaker you're not just a cog in the machine.
