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 specialist and mid-level professional roles. Contingent — you pay only when you hire the person we deliver.
Confidential, retained search for VP, director, and C-suite leadership. Senior recruiters, deep networks, a discreet process.
Embedded recruiting, talent mapping, and market & compensation intelligence — full recruiting horsepower without adding headcount.
Recruiters who actually understand the function — so you get candidates who fit the seat, not keyword matches.
Controllers, CFOs, accounting managers, FP&A, AP/AR leadership.
Process, manufacturing, quality, design, and project engineers.
Plant managers, ops directors, logistics, procurement, planning.
C-suite, VP, and general management across the organization.
Sales leadership, account executives, and business development.
Brand, demand-gen, product marketing, and comms leadership.
HR business partners, talent, comp & benefits, HR leadership.
Software, infrastructure, data, security, and technology leadership.
Counsel, contracts, risk, and regulatory compliance roles.
Quality systems, regulatory affairs, and EHS leadership.
PMs, program leads, and PMO leadership for complex initiatives.
Analysts, data engineering, BI, and analytics leadership.
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.

The positions are out there. We can fill them — and do far more, with less.
It's why we built Lingo Professional: a direct-hire and executive search practice for companies that need the right person in the seat.
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.
