BIG TECH SEARCH LLC is a registered New Hampshire limited liability company located at 613 Main St, Sandown, NH 03873. Founded by a former industrial controls systems engineer turned technical recruiter with over 21 combined years working inside New England manufacturing facilities and leading specialized engineering search teams, the firm was built to address a massive regional market pain point: mainstream staffing agencies cannot differentiate between entry-level electrical technicians and senior PLC/HMI automation engineers, leading to wasted client interview time, mis-hires, and costly production downtime delays. Our Sandown central office houses dedicated talent research analysts, manufacturing technical recruiters, client account managers, and candidate liaison teams enabling rapid statewide talent sourcing for all Southern New Hampshire industrial zones.
Our full recruiting staff holds unique industry-aligned credentials: Certified Industrial Automation Talent Recruiter, PLC & CNC Technical Interview Specialist, Executive Manufacturing Search Consultant, Contract Manufacturing Staffing Compliance Coordinator, and New England Regional Manufacturing Workforce Market Analyst. Every client partnership begins with an on-site facility walkthrough alongside plant management to map current staffing gaps, upcoming automation expansion projects, required technical certifications, shift scheduling needs, and long-term growth hiring forecasts, building fully customized targeted talent search pipelines instead of broad generic job board postings. Our proprietary regional candidate database contains thousands of pre-screened automation professionals actively working across New England machine shops, integrator firms, OEM equipment builders, and supply chain logistics centers, eliminating slow nationwide cold outreach cycles common with national search corporations.
Our core competitive advantage across Northeast manufacturing markets is our dual background combining real industrial automation engineering experience with professional executive recruiting expertise. Generalist HR staffing firms lack the technical vocabulary to accurately assess servo motion, machine vision, LoRa IIoT, cold storage monitoring, or outdoor turf equipment controls skill levels, while internal company HR teams lack the regional network reach to tap passive employed automation engineers who are not actively scrolling job boards. Our closed-loop matching process cross-references client project hardware stacks (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Fanuc, Haas, NEMA outdoor panels, FSMA cold chain systems) directly against candidate hands-on project history, drastically cutting average time-to-hire by up to 42% compared to generic staffing vendors. Our internal platform auto-tracks regional manufacturing labor market trends, salary benchmarking data, and candidate retention metrics, delivering formatted workforce planning reports for client plant management and corporate HR leadership teams automatically. From our Sandown location, our field recruiting representatives can travel to every major manufacturing park in Southern New Hampshire within one hour for on-site client consultation and candidate technical interview coordination.
We offer three tiered partnership packages tailored to all manufacturing operation hiring volumes: Basic Direct Hire Package for small machine shops and single opening automation integrators, Standard Contract + Permanent Hybrid Staffing Package for mid-size multi-line production facilities with variable project labor demands, and Executive Retained Search Enterprise Package for multi-state regional manufacturing corporations with VP, Plant Manager and Senior Controls Engineering leadership openings, including priority dedicated recruiter support and guaranteed placement retention terms. All candidate personal and technical data managed by our firm is stored on secure US-based cloud servers fully compliant with American labor privacy regulations, with no overseas third-party resume processing or candidate data storage.
Full lifecycle retained and contingent search for full-time salaried roles: PLC Programmer, HMI Developer, CNC Retrofit Engineer, Robotic Cell Integrator, Machine Vision Specialist, IIoT Sensor Systems Engineer, UL Panel Designer, and Manufacturing Controls Manager. Deep passive candidate sourcing targeting currently employed automation professionals across New England.
Flexible contract-to-hire and pure project contract staffing for seasonal production surges, equipment upgrade retrofit projects, and temporary coverage for extended employee leave. Field-ready contract engineers available for on-site machine shop, warehouse, cold storage and outdoor turf equipment automation deployments statewide.
Retained executive search service for Plant Managers, Manufacturing Engineering Directors, Automation Division VPs, Operations Managers, and Regional OEM Sales Leadership. Confidential discreet candidate outreach for high-level corporate manufacturing leadership openings across the Northeast United States.
Proprietary technical screening process including controls-focused phone interviews, hardware stack skill validation questions, project portfolio review, multi-step reference verification, and employment background compliance checks. We filter unqualified candidates before they ever reach client interview schedules to save internal management time.
Long-term ongoing talent pipeline building for clients with consistent year-over-year automation hiring needs. Continuous passive candidate engagement creates pre-vetted pools of PLC, servo, and IIoT engineers ready for immediate interview when new production expansion projects launch.
Comprehensive workforce analysis reports including local automation engineer salary benchmarking, regional talent availability mapping, competitor hiring trend tracking, and retention strategy recommendations to reduce costly technical employee turnover at client facilities.
Complimentary on-site walkthrough consultation with plant leadership to identify hidden staffing bottlenecks, upcoming project labor requirements, and optimal hiring timelines. Custom tailored recruitment strategy documents aligned with each facility’s unique production and automation roadmap.
Scheduled regular check-ins with both placed technical candidates and client management during the critical first three months of employment. Mediation support for onboarding friction points, plus replacement guarantee coverage for early unplanned turnover within the retention window.
Retained executive search partnership to fill four permanent senior automation engineering roles specializing in 5-axis CNC machine vision integration. Our technical vetting process cut client interview volume in half, filling all four critical engineering openings 38% faster than the client’s prior national recruiting vendor, with 100% 90-day retention success.
Mixed staffing solution supplying six contract LoRa cold chain sensor technicians for a major warehouse automation upgrade project, followed by direct hire placement of two full-time controls managers to lead ongoing cold storage compliance monitoring systems. Our pre-screened candidates all possessed mandatory FSMA cold storage technology experience unique to the client’s industry.
Targeted passive talent search focused exclusively on engineers with all-weather outdoor field automation experience for autonomous turf mower and irrigation control system development. We sourced qualified candidates unavailable on generic job boards, filling the hard-to-staff controls engineering opening in under six weeks.
