Beyond the Job Board
Stop settling for “good enough.” We find the top 10% of heavy equipment professionals who aren’t even looking to move.
The Crisis in the Shop: Why Generalist Recruiting Fails
If you’re going for walks at a dealership or a building fleet, you don’t want a lecture on the “skills gap.” You stay it each and every day. You see the empty bays, the mounting backlog of work orders, and the overlooked opportunities because your income territory is uncovered.
The biggest mistake heavy gear groups make is hiring a generalist recruiter. Most recruiters spend their morning searching for a receptionist and their afternoon trying to find a Master Diesel Technician. They don’t recognize the distinction between a Tier four Final engine and a legacy system. They don’t comprehend why a tech with an aerial raise journey might conflict with yellow iron.
At Talon Recruiting, we don't simply "recruit." we communicate the language of the iron.
The "Post and Pray" Era is Over
The top 10% of the workforce is not looking at job boards. They aren’t browsing LinkedIn on their lunch break. They are currently working for your competitor, they are being paid well, and they are happy.
To get those people, you need a headhunter, not a resume-shuffler. Heavy equipment talent acquisition is about proactive hunting. We identify the “passive” candidates—the master techs, the top-tier sales reps, and the operation managers who keep the industry moving—and we tell them your story. We sell your culture, your growth, and your benefits to the people who aren’t even looking to move.
