Direct-Hire & Executive Search
Lingo Professional recruits and places the permanent talent that defines a company — finance, engineering, operations, and leadership — across the country. Direct-hire and executive search only. No temp. No contract.
We place people who stay. Whether it's a specialist or a chief executive, the work is the same: find the right person, permanently. Need flexible, temp, or on-site staffing instead? That's our sister company, Lingo Staffing.
Direct-hire placement for engineering, operations, maintenance, finance, and other hard-to-find professional talent. Contingent — you pay only when you hire the talent we deliver.
Confidential, retained search for Controllers, Estimators, Operations Leaders, Plant Managers, VP, Director, and C-suite Leadership. Senior recruiters, deep networks, a discreet process.
Targeted recruiting solutions for hard-to-find talent for industrial and operational organizations, including engineering, operations, maintenance, logistics, construction, and finance positions.
Recruiters who actually understand the work — so you get candidates who fit the seat, not keyword matches. We focus on industrial and operational organizations.

A real conversation about the role, the team, and what “right” actually looks like — not a job-board repost.
We work our network and recruit to spec, then screen for skills, fit, and motivation before you ever see a resume.
A tight slate of qualified, genuinely interested candidates — each with our honest read.
You hire directly. We stay close through the offer and onboarding to help the placement land.
Our goal is not to generate interviews. Our goal is to deliver the right hire — for the role, the team, and the organization.
The best talent is often already employed. Our job is to find them, engage them, and help our clients hire them.
Lingo Professional is led by senior recruiters who do the work themselves — direct-hire and executive search, personally. When you start a search, these are the people you work with.
