Our Proprietary GSD Recruiting System 

Our parent company, The Effective Syndicate, is a business coaching firm that partners with manufacturing companies to improve their processes & create more structured training systems, while coaching the leadership teams to help them build winning cultures.

While partnering with their customers, it became clear that recruiting the right talent was a common challenge manufacturers are facing. Specifically finding and securing engineering, manufacturing and technical talent.

We launched TES Recruiting Solutions to respond to this common need, honoring our commitment to helping manufacturers create world class organizations.

Utilizing our parent company’s expertise as process and cultural specialists, we’ve develop our own proprietary GSD Recruiting System, creating a well-defined process that delivers consistent, exceptional results, in the form of well-qualified, thoroughly vetted talent for us to introduce to our customers.
