Selective partnerships
We prefer a smaller group of trusted recruiting partners over a large, uncontrolled vendor list.
RECRUITING PARTNERSHIPS
Focused searches. Trusted recruiting partners.
Kilnstone Talent Solutions selectively partners with independent recruiters and recruiting or staffing firms when complementary expertise, sourcing capacity or geographic reach can strengthen a search.
HOW WE PARTNER
Built for clear, focused collaboration.
Kilnstone is building a small network of recruiting partners who value candidate quality, direct sourcing, responsive communication and clearly defined responsibilities.
We are not building an open vendor board where a large number of recruiters compete on the same assignment. When work is shared, the goal is to establish ownership, expectations and economics before recruiting begins.
Defined ownership
Candidate ownership, client communication, fee structure and assignment responsibilities are agreed before work starts.
Industry alignment
Manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering, field service, maintenance, machining, warehouse and industrial operations are especially relevant.
PARTNERSHIP MODELS
Different ways we can work together.
Split-fee direct hire
Collaborate on permanent-placement searches with fee splits and ownership terms documented for the specific engagement.
Sourcing & recruiting support
Support targeted sourcing, outreach, screening or candidate development for assigned requisitions.
Project & staffing collaboration
Explore contract recruiting, overflow support, or select temporary and temp-to-hire partnerships when responsibilities and back-office arrangements are defined in advance.
WHAT WE VALUE
A strong partner protects the relationship on both sides.
- Experience recruiting manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering or related technical talent.
- Comfort with direct candidate sourcing and outreach beyond inbound applicants.
- Fast, transparent communication about candidate activity and search progress.
- Respect for candidate ownership, client relationships and agreed communication channels.
- Willingness to document fee splits, guarantees and responsibilities before work begins.
