Direct
Placement.

Permanent, full-time hires, vetted, screened, and ready to start. Cannonball handles the search; you make the offer.

When direct placement is the right call

Direct placement works best when you need the right person in the seat, permanently, and you can't afford a miss. Senior roles. Specialized skill sets. Searches where the cost of a bad hire is bigger than the fee.

We handle every step before the offer. Sourcing, screening, technical vetting, reference checks, and presentation of a tight shortlist of candidates worth your time. You spend your hours interviewing finalists, not sorting resumes.

01

Deep technical screening

We don't just match keywords. Our recruiters know the equipment, certifications, and shop-floor realities of your industry. Candidates are vetted for actual capability before they hit your inbox.

02

Passive candidate sourcing

The best people aren't applying. They're already employed. We use competitor sourcing, trade networks, and direct outreach to find candidates the job boards never see.

03

Tight shortlist, not a flood

You won't get forty resumes to sort. You'll get three to five qualified candidates we'd actually stake our reputation on. Faster decisions, better outcomes.

04

Replacement guarantee

If a direct placement doesn't work out within the guarantee period, we replace at no additional fee. We stand behind every hire because our reputation rides on it.

Best fit for these roles

Senior production leaders. Plant managers. Manufacturing engineers. Specialty welders with rare certifications. Master machinists. Maintenance supervisors. Leadership roles in steel, fabrication, plastics, and packaging operations. Any role where the wrong hire creates real downstream cost.
