Need-a-Recruiter?

If you need help beyond the job board, we can suggest a few industry recruiters we trust. ✉️ Contact Us, and we'll make the intro.

Job postings are affordable — low-cost and high-impact — but sometimes recruiters get results faster.
We’re in the business of connecting the right people.

We’re big believers in job boards (obviously). But let’s be real — not every qualified candidate is actively browsing listings. Some are already working, thriving — and only respond when the right opportunity comes through the right channel.


💡 Why Consider a Recruiter?

🧠 They Speak the Language
BAS, DDC, PLCs, SCADA — they know the roles, the tech, and what makes a candidate a real fit.

📲 They Know Who’s Not Applying
They engage with professionals who aren’t job hunting — but are open to the right opportunity.

🎯 They’re Targeted
No resume blasts. Just curated connections that align with your role, your stack, and your team culture.


📊 The ROI of Recruiters vs. Job Boards

Filling niche roles in building automation, SCADA, or low-voltage systems can take 10 to 16 weeks on average, depending on the role and region (Corporate Navigators). Recruiters can often shorten that timeline by 25–50%, but that speed comes at a premium — fees typically range from 20–30% of the hire’s first-year salary (Investopedia).

In contrast, job postings are a low-cost, high-visibility way to reach active candidates — typically just a few hundred dollars per listing (Memberstack). For most employers, keeping listings live is a no-brainer. But job boards aren’t always a full replacement — especially for roles that require a tap on the shoulder, not just a click on a listing.

Whatever your approach, ControlsJobs is here to be an industry connector — through job boards, recruiter referrals, or simply helping you navigate the space.
