People · Purpose · A stronger tomorrowA family-driven recruiting company connecting great people with American manufacturing.
Manufacturing is not one of the things we recruit for. It’s the only thing we recruit for.
Built on people, family and purpose.
Compass Group Recruiting was founded by high-school sweethearts Hans and Bridget, with a shared belief that great people build great things. We live in Missoula, Montana, with our son Noah and our dog Stormie. We’re originally from Puckett, Mississippi, and we enjoy hunting, fishing, travel and spending time outdoors.
Most of all, we’re passionate about serving American manufacturing: connecting top talent with companies that keep our country moving forward.
“Do the right thing, put good people at great companies, and build something we can be proud to put our family name behind.”
Tell the truth, do the work, do the right thing.
For the employer and the candidate, even when doing the right thing costs us a fee.
- 01
Manufacturing focus
We stay close to the roles, skills and environments we know instead of pretending to be experts in every industry under the sun.
- 02
Straight answers
If a search is difficult, we say so. If a candidate is not right, we say so. If we think there is a better path, we explain it.
- 03
People before fees
A placement only counts as a win when it is a good decision for both sides. We will walk away from money before we knowingly push a bad fit.
- 04
Fully equipped recruiters
We invest in the best practical recruiting tools we can buy, then train our recruiters to use them intelligently instead of treating technology as a substitute for effort.

Recruiting without the sales theater.
We would rather lose a deal by telling the truth than win one by promising something we cannot deliver. The recruiters we don’t want to be: the “Perfect Candidate” Salesman, the “We Specialize in Everything” Recruiter, the Résumé Dumper, the Fee-First Recruiter, the Disappearing Recruiter and the Buzzword Recruiter.
We are not trying to look like the biggest recruiting company. We are trying to be the one people trust.
