Automation Staffing Agency Services for Manufacturing Teams

GLOBAL offers three engagement models so manufacturers can match hiring to the need. Contract staffing fits defined projects, production launches, and temporary capacity where a permanent commitment isn't warranted yet. Direct hire suits permanent, business-critical roles you want to own from day one, and contract-to-hire lets you evaluate a professional on assignment before extending a permanent offer. GLOBAL helps you decide which model fits a given opening.

Time-to-fill depends on the role's technical requirements, location, engagement model, and candidate availability, so GLOBAL sets expectations at intake rather than promising a fixed timeframe. Once requirements are clear, GLOBAL generally begins presenting pre-screened candidates in the early stages of a search and refines the shortlist from your feedback. Clear role definition and prompt interview scheduling do the most to keep a search on pace.

GLOBAL sources through an established network of automation and manufacturing professionals, targeted outreach, and referrals rather than relying on job-board volume. Candidates are screened against the role's technical requirements and assessed for relevant discipline experience, such as controls, robotics, PLC programming, or commissioning, through interviews and skills-focused conversations. GLOBAL verifies work history and credentials and can coordinate background and reference checks appropriate to the role and your policies.

GLOBAL recruits controls engineers, PLC programmers, robotics technicians, robot programmers, electrical and mechanical designers, commissioning and installation engineers, and project managers, the disciplines behind industrial automation projects. It serves automotive OEMs and EV makers, Tier 1 suppliers, aerospace and defense producers, heavy equipment, and general industrial manufacturers, along with other automation and integration companies. Roles can be filled for launches, retrofits, controls development, commissioning, and ongoing production support.

GLOBAL is headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and supports manufacturers across North America. With offices in four countries and project experience in 22 countries across five continents, it can also support searches tied to broader manufacturing footprints. Coverage, work authorization, and engagement structure are confirmed for each role's location and local requirements.

If a placement doesn't work out, GLOBAL works with you to understand the gap and to source a replacement candidate for the role. Direct-hire searches are typically backed by a replacement guarantee period, and contract assignments can be adjusted or the professional redeployed when the fit isn't right. Specific guarantee terms are set out in your agreement before a search begins.

Engagement starts with a conversation about the role, the work model, and your hiring timeline, after which GLOBAL outlines how the assignment or search would be structured. Contract roles are generally handled on a time-based basis and direct placements on a per-hire basis, with all specifics provided in a written agreement tailored to the engagement. GLOBAL reviews the commercial details with you up front.
