We Build Capability.
Manufacturers of complex, engineered industrial products face a talent challenge that generic recruiters simply can’t solve. It’s not a shortage of résumés — it’s a shortage of people who actually understand how to drive continuous improvement across operations, supply chain, engineering, HR, and every function that touches your business. We exist to solve that specific problem. Not a staffing agency. Not a generic firm. A purpose-built partner who knows your world, speaks your language, and places the talent that moves the needle.

Frequently Asked
Questions About Our Search Process
What types of roles does Regions Recruiting fill?
Regions Recruiting fills leadership and professional roles across all functions within industrial manufacturing organizations — Operations & CI, Supply Chain & Procurement, Human Resources, Engineering & Product Development, Program Management, Material Handling, Revenue Operations & Sales, and Finance & Accounting.
What is the difference between retained and contingency search?
Retained (Engaged) Search is for executive and senior leadership roles. A one-third deposit engages us exclusively; we deliver a comprehensive search with written candidate assessments and a 180-day placement guarantee. Contingency Search is for professional-level individual contributors — you pay only upon a successful hire, with a 90-day guarantee. Both services draw on our Southeast manufacturing talent network.
What industries does Regions Recruiting specialize in?
We specialize exclusively in manufacturers of engineered-to-order and configured-to-order industrial products: industrial machinery and capital equipment (fans, compressors, heat exchangers, cranes), automotive and rail (locomotives, specialty trucks, heavy transport), defense and aerospace (naval fabrications, structural components), building products (commercial HVAC, elevators), electrical equipment and automation, agricultural equipment, metal fabrication, plastics and composites, and B2B industrial distribution.
What geography does Regions Recruiting cover?
Regions Recruiting covers ten Southeast states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Our network is built state-by-state, relationship-by-relationship across this region’s industrial manufacturing base.
How long does an executive search typically take?
We benchmark qualified candidates within an average of 7 days of engagement. A full retained executive search from kickoff to offer accepted typically runs 45–90 days depending on role complexity, location, and market conditions. Our Talent Market Intelligence service can give you a realistic timeline estimate before you commit to a search.
What makes Regions Recruiting different from a general executive search firm?
Regions Recruiting is the only executive search firm in the Southeast focused exclusively on continuous improvement talent for industrial manufacturers of engineered and configured-to-order products. We place across every function — not just operations — and our network is built specifically within the Southeast’s industrial manufacturing base. Our 96% three-year retention rate and industry-leading guarantees (6 months professional, 12 months executive) reflect the depth of our vetting process.
