Industrial Recruiters | Industrial Executive Search

Your industrial recruitment agency

The Industrial sector encompasses a wide variety of economic activities related to the production of goods and services, including sourcing of materials (metals/mining) to manufacturing, distribution, and construction. Recruiting for Industrial firms is a wide-ranging field that covers finance, strategic sourcing, skilled tradespeople, sales and marketing, and logistics.

Our country is not only resource-rich, Canadian-manufactured machinery and equipment have been used in energy development and production throughout the world.

Industrial firms are transforming themselves with the help of higher technologies and innovations. The recruiting activity for researchers, programmers, engineers, and supply chain talent is at an all-time high. Data science, algorithms and robotics are playing pivotal roles in how Industrial firms operate, manage, and market their products and services.

What our clients say about our industrial recruiters

The Lock Search Group has been extremely effective as a resource for finding the right candidate for dozens of positions from sales, to management to executives both at Vallen and my former company, Westlund. They demonstrated a deep understanding of what is needed to be successful in the industrial market.

Guy Mersereau

Vallen Canada, President (Retired)

Dave listened to understand what we needed, not just in terms of hard skills but also soft skills, and that has made all the difference in terms of the quality of hires we have gained from Lock Search Group. I recommend them as recruiters without hesitation.

Laura Barker

Ozery Family Bakery, Director, People & Culture

I've been working with Lock for over 20 years. Over that time, I have tried a few other firms, but I keep coming back to Lock. Their people are fantastic to work with and they have recruited some amazing people for us over the years!
