Our History

Built From the Plant Floor Up

TSG was founded in 2004 by executives who had spent their careers inside manufacturing organizations — not in staffing agencies. That distinction matters. We understand what it takes to run a shift, manage a supply chain disruption, or lead a plant through a quality crisis because we've lived it.

Over two decades, we've built one of the most extensive networks of manufacturing leadership talent in North America. Our relationships span every major sector — from automotive and aerospace to food processing and medical devices — and every level of the organization.

Today, TSG operates as a retained executive search firm exclusively focused on manufacturing and industrial operations. We don't dabble in other verticals. Our singular focus is what makes us effective.

Our Principles

How We Work

Precision Over Volume

We run a small number of searches at any given time so every client receives our full attention. We don't operate a resume mill.

Confidentiality as Standard

Every search and every candidate conversation is handled with absolute discretion. We protect both sides of every engagement.

Sector Depth

We know manufacturing. Our team has direct operating experience in the industries we serve — which means we evaluate candidates the way operators do, not recruiters.

Long-Term Accountability

We stand behind our placements. Our 92% two-year retention rate reflects a commitment that doesn't end at the offer letter.

The People

The TSG Team

Former operators. Trusted advisors. Relentless advocates for the right fit.
