Posting and praying doesn't work for operational leadership roles.
You already know this. You've seen the resumes that don't fit, the interviews that go nowhere, the roles that stay open for months. There's a better way.
Featured In:
Your job post attracted 200 applicants.
Zero were right.
The leaders you actually need the ones running plants, turning around warehouses, rebuilding distribution networks...
They're not browsing job boards. They need to be found.
01
You're only seeing who's available
The top 20% of operational talent is employed and performing. When you post and wait, your pipeline fills with whoever happens to be looking not whoever's best.
Â
"We had 200 applicants and couldn't hire a single one."
02
The role isn't clear enough to attract the right person
Do you need someone to build from scratch? Stabilize what's broken? Scale what's working? Those are four different leaders. A vague job description attracts the wrong one.
Â
"We hired a great person. They just weren't great for this."
03
Every open week costs you
A vacant operational seat isn't neutral. It's missed output, strained teams, and decisions nobody's making. The longer it stays open, the harder the next person's job becomes.
Â
"By month four, the team was burned out and we'd lost two more people."
MEET THE FOUNDER
RENEE FREY
Meet Renee Frey, President of TalentQ.
With more than two decades of recruiting experience, Renee built TalentQ on a simple conviction: hiring should never be a guessing game.
After spending years inside corporate environments, Renee saw firsthand the gap between what organizations needed and what traditional recruiting firms delivered. Too often, leaders were left with surface-level candidates, poor communication, and searches that lacked accountability. TalentQ was created to close that gap.
Today, Renee leads a nationally trusted recruiting firm that partners with operations-driven organizations across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, distribution, and corporate operations. Her approach blends strategic recruiting, behavioral interviewing, and complete transparency — ensuring every search is built with precision, partnership, and performance in mind.
Renee believes great business outcomes begin with the right hire, and that recruiting works best when it feels less like a transaction and more like a true collaboration.
