Executive recruiters for automation, CPG, medical device and FinTech

Deep expertise where it matters most.

We don't try to be everything to everyone. Bespoke Placement Group goes deep in the industries where our network and knowledge create a real advantage for our client partners: manufacturing, engineering and technology companies across the United States.

Automation, controls and IIoT

We recruit for automation and robotics integrators, controls firms and manufacturers scaling production. Searches run from controls engineers, automation engineers and SCADA specialists through plant leadership, quality and operations, up to the Director, VP and C-suite leaders who run them.

The hardest searches here combine technical depth with commercial drive. For a $50M automation and robotics integrator, we filled a Director of Engineering and Business Development seat in 90 days after a prior agency spent six months without a hire. That leader closed $12M in new client deals in the first nine months.

For engineering roles below the executive level, Subscription Sourcing covers ongoing automation recruitment at a predictable monthly cost.

CPG and food manufacturing

Consumer brands and food and beverage manufacturers come to us when growth outpaces hiring. We recruit sales, marketing, operations and supply chain leaders, from operations heads to VPs of Sales.

Over a three-year partnership with one CPG brand, we placed 13 sales and operations professionals as revenue grew from $65M to $100M. For an early-stage nutraceutical brand selling direct to consumer, we placed its first VP of Sales in four months to open the clinician channel.

As food and beverage executive recruiters, we hold the same bar on a single search as on a multi-year build-out.

Medical device

Medical device hiring happens under regulation, where a wrong hire is costly and slow to unwind. We recruit R&D scientists, quality and compliance specialists, regulatory affairs professionals, and engineering, operations and commercial leaders.

For the Interventional Solutions division of a multi-billion-dollar global medical device manufacturer, we filled 10 of 10 roles across engineering, quality, operations, commercial and marketing. Our medical device recruiting calibrates for compliance mindset as well as capability.

SaaS and software

Software and subscription businesses need leaders who understand recurring revenue and engineers who rarely apply for anything. We recruit full-stack developers, software architects, cloud and data specialists, AI and ML engineers, and finance and engineering leadership.

For a $9B audio entertainment company, we built a 3,000+ engineer pipeline across six disciplines and made 21 placements in 12 months.

FinTech

FinTech roles sit where finance, regulation and scarce engineering skills meet. We placed two Rust and full-stack engineers with fintech and blockchain expertise in 45 days for the first FINRA-approved Alternative Trading System, work that contributed directly to its $12M Series A.

We also recruit finance leadership, including CFOs, controllers and FP&A, for financial services and FinTech companies.

Engineering services

Engineering services firms need leaders who can run delivery and win work. We recruit directors of engineering, business development leaders, and specialists across software, automation, controls, mechanical, process, industrial and reliability engineering.

As an executive search firm for engineering organizations, we screen technical command and commercial judgment together, because engineering services leaders have to run delivery and win new work.
