Testimonials
No guesswork. No ghosting. Just great hires.
You need hires who pull their weight – not passengers on the bench. We recruit like the 2013 Chicago Blackhawks: smart positioning, quick passes, and zero tolerance for weak shifts.
We listen, we vet, and we deliver people who can actually do the job. And with a 97.8% offer acceptance rate, nearly every offer we help you make gets a “yes.”
Real candidates. Real fit. Real fast.
JSK placements stick around. On average, our hires stay 2.5 to 5+ years – more than twice the industry standard. That means you’re not scrambling again in six months.
Why? Because we understand what makes a good long-term hire: coachable, accountable, technically sound, and ready to move up.
We don’t just place people. We build bench strength.
We’re here to help you build deep benches. We prioritize your roles, get the job done fast, and support your team’s growth over the long haul. You get the talent you need without juggling job posts or spending hours in interviews with the wrong people. And when it’s a critical role that’s been open too long? We treat it like gameday – no mistakes, just results.

VETERANS
Candidates built for supply chain and manufacturing. Proven in service.
At JSK Recruiting, we believe veteran hires are some of the strongest long-term fits in manufacturing operations and supply chain.
They bring discipline, technical skill, and leadership experience – plus companies may qualify for up to $9,600 in tax credits through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). That’s why we take special care to identify veteran candidates who are ready to lead, learn, and grow with your operation.

No ghosting. No resume dumps. We’re a team of 10 full-time recruiters focused on operations, supply chain, maintenance, and distribution – especially in food, CPG, and manufacturing. Every candidate we send is vetted, aligned with your role, and wants the job. You won’t waste time chasing unmotivated applicants.

That depends on the role – but our goal is to send 3 to 5 strong candidates, all ready to interview. You’ll move quickly, and your only challenge will be choosing between two great fits.

Absolutely. The cost of an empty seat – or worse, a bad hire – adds up fast. That’s why JSK candidates stick, lead, and last. We fact-check every resume, verify references, and make sure who you see is who you get no surprises.
We stand behind our work: if a JSK placement leaves or gets promoted within 5 years, we offer a 10% discount on your next hire for that role. That’s how confident we are in the quality and longevity of our candidates.
