Speak with a recruiter
Every candidate must have a real conversation with Compass before being accepted into the program.
This is the only candidate-paid service Compass offers: a recruiter-led search for manufacturing professionals who know exactly what they want next and want Compass actively working to make that move happen.

A targeted search built around the manufacturing role and move you actually want.
Instead of waiting for a company to post the perfect opening, we first learn exactly what your dream move looks like—role, location, compensation, schedule, company type, culture and the things you will not compromise on. If we believe we can genuinely help, Compass can take you on as a Dream Job Placement client and proactively pursue opportunities that fit.
Every candidate must have a real conversation with Compass before being accepted into the program.
We get specific about the companies, markets, responsibilities, compensation and lifestyle you want.
We identify, approach and develop opportunities rather than simply waiting for public postings.
We help you navigate interviews, offers and fit so the end goal is a better career move—not just another job.
Once you are accepted into Dream Job Placement and the search begins, Compass guarantees a qualifying job offer within 180 days. If we do not produce an offer within that period, we refund your Dream Job Placement fees in full.
Your target role, geography, compensation expectations, and other search criteria will be agreed with your recruiter before the search begins so everyone is clear about what qualifies as an offer under the guarantee.
Dream Job Placement is the ONLY service for which Compass charges candidates. Applying to jobs, normal recruiting placements, resume submission, and relocation assistance are free to candidates.
Due only after you have spoken with a recruiter, Compass has determined that we can help, and you have been accepted into the Dream Job Placement program.
Due on your first paycheck after you begin the role Compass helps you secure through the Dream Job Placement service.
Total program fee when successfully placed: $1,498.
The $499 engagement fee is paid before Compass begins the proactive search. The $999 placement fee is not due until your first paycheck from the new role.
We only want to accept candidates when we believe the search is realistic and we can provide genuine value. Before any agreement or payment is offered, you will speak with a Compass recruiter about your background, target role, geography, compensation expectations and goals.
You have a track record we can credibly take to employers—technical skill, leadership, measurable results or hard-to-find experience.
You can describe the role, location, compensation, company environment and career direction that would make a move worthwhile.
You may already be employed and doing fine, but you would move for the right opportunity rather than applying everywhere.
You are comfortable with Compass approaching appropriate employers and representing your value in the market with your approval.
The first step is a recruiter conversation—not a payment page.
