Client and Candidate Feedback

Carla Lane
Human Resources Director
Logistics and Supply Chain
"Pike Recruitment Services is a first class recruitment firm. They set the standard for not only sourcing amazing candidates but they provide a level of service to the client that I have yet to see elsewhere. They take the time to understand the culture, direction and priorities of your company so that they can speak to candidates from a place of authenticity and truth. Pike Recruitment Services was a true extension of my HR Department in that they were not "done" once a candidate accepted. They followed up with the candidate and my team regularly to ensure all things were going smoothly and were willing to address concerns long after the placement."

About Us
Pike Recruitment Services is a specialized recruiting firm supporting engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain organizations operating in complex, regulated, and performance driven environments. We partner with companies that design, build, move, and sustain critical products and technologies, helping them secure the talent required to keep production, programs, and supply chains running reliably.
Founded by Jason Pike, the firm is built on more than eighteen years of experience leading technical, operational, and leadership hiring initiatives across manufacturing, defense aligned programs, engineering organizations, and global supply chain operations. Jason has advised and supported hiring efforts for organizations operating across multiple regions, working with domestic and international talent pools to meet production demands, program timelines, and operational requirements.
What differentiates Pike Recruitment Services is a high level, direct communication style and an ability to access talent pools that traditional recruiting efforts often miss. We engage candidates who are not actively applying, are selectively open to change, or operate within niche technical and operational networks that require credibility, discretion, and informed outreach. This approach allows us to surface candidates who are both technically capable and operationally aligned, rather than relying solely on transactional or inbound recruiting methods.
Pike Recruitment Services works directly with ownership, executive leadership, and senior operations teams to provide practical and flexible recruiting support when internal bandwidth is constrained, roles become difficult to fill, or growth outpaces existing hiring infrastructure. Whether strengthening manufacturing operations, supporting engineering teams, or helping organizations navigate complex hiring needs across domestic and international footprints, we serve as a trusted extension of leadership focused on execution, continuity, and long term operational success.
