We only do one thing — and we do it cold.

Construction equipment rental is its own world. Heavy iron. 24/7 uptime. Customer relationships measured in decades. Branches that bleed revenue the day a service tech walks out the door.

Generalist recruiters can't tell a CDL Class A from a Class B, or a hydraulic tech from a controls tech. We can. Every placement we make sits inside the rental industry — yards, shops, branches, sales floors.

The result: faster fills, lower wash-out rate, and candidates who don't need six months to figure out what a Skytrak is.

Every seat that keeps a rental branch running.

From the shop floor to the GM's desk. If it's a role inside a construction equipment rental operation, we've placed it.

Specialist depth. Field-realistic speed.

Move in days, not months.

A branch missing a tech bleeds revenue every shift it's down. We work pre-screened pipelines by region and role — most reqs see qualified candidates inside a week.

We know the iron.

Every recruiter on the team works one industry. We understand the OEM lines, the certifications, the territories, and the difference between someone who can fix a Genie and someone who just claims to.

Hires that stay.

We screen on grit, mechanical aptitude, and territory fit — not just keyword matches. Our placements stick because we don't ship anyone we wouldn't hire ourselves.
