Our Process

We Diagnose Before we Deliver

You can't fill a role well if you don't understand it. That's why we begin by learning what's needed to turn a candidate into a success story.

Before we ever consult our network, we get clear on what the role demands technically, operationally, and culturally. That includes questions like:

Our Approach

Precision Meets Partnership

We become an extension of your team, delivering candidates with the right mindset and experience to meet your needs.

Here's what else you can expect when working with us.

Consultative

We ask smart questions, challenge assumptions, and bring decades of HR and manufacturing insight to every search.

Tailored

We offer retained, contingent, and hybrid models. We’ll help you choose the right fit for your budget and timeline.

Strategic

We don’t wait for the perfect resume to drop. We go out and find it, engaging with passive, high-caliber candidates who align with your needs and values.

Respectful of your time

No resume piles to pour through. Just carefully vetted talent who can contribute from day one.

Our Guarantee

We stand behind every placement. If a candidate doesn’t work out within the agreed-upon timeframe, we’ll replace the hire—at no additional cost.

Let’s build a search strategy that fits.

“Laurie and the entire team at Yamas have been instrumental in finding key employees for us, and the relationship continues to build and deepen with each new search. Yamas focuses on more than the job description. Digging into cultural implications and necessary character traits has led to several "best fit" candidates for our organization. Laurie also builds relationships that enhance the hiring process, and I would highly recommend her and Yamas for any hiring needs.”

Common Questions

Here are some of the most common things we’re asked by hiring leaders like you.

What kinds of roles do you fill?

We specialize in placing engineers, ops leaders, project managers, and technical sales talent in custom OEMs and automation firms—environments where systems are built from the ground up and new innovations are scaled into reality.

Do you offer retained or contingent search?

We offer a full range of search models—including retained, contingent, and hybrid. We’ll recommend the right structure based on the urgency, complexity, and strategic value of your hire.

How fast can you deliver?

Most searches are completed within 30–60 days. Because we don’t rely on job boards, we can move quickly—activating a trusted network of passive candidates who are already aligned with your needs.

How do you ensure the right fit?

We don’t believe in sending resumes just to hit numbers. Every candidate is vetted for technical ability, problem-solving capacity, and cultural fit. If we wouldn’t hire them ourselves, we won’t pass them along.

What’s your guarantee?

If a placement doesn’t work out within the agreed guarantee period, we’ll replace the hire at no additional cost. It’s rare—but when it happens, we move fast to make it right.
