Industries We Work In

Our roots may be broad, but for the past 15+ years, we've specialized in recruiting for energy, chemical, and engineering-driven industries.

Because of our background, hiring leaders often turn to us for roles that don’t fit into neat boxes — positions requiring talent who wears many hats, blends technical with commercial, or brings a rare mix of experience. These are the kinds of searches where we thrive.

What You Gain When You Work With Us

When the role is critical, the impact of getting it right ripples through your entire organization. That’s why we focus on more than just making placements — we deliver outcomes that build teams, confidence, and momentum.

✔️ Hire with clarity and confidence — not pressure or guesswork
✔️ Reach hard-to-find talent aligned to your goals and culture
✔️ Reduce time-to-hire with a proactive, strategic approach
✔️ Attract candidates who stay and succeed — not just accept offers
✔️ Deliver a thoughtful, human hiring experience for both sides of the table
✔️ Build inclusive, high-performing teams with long-term impact
✔️ Partner with a guide you trust — not just another vendor

Is TLR Search the Right Fit for You?


We build strategic, human-first partnerships, not one-size-fits-all recruiting. That’s why we do our best work with companies that want a trusted guide and an easier, done-for-you way to hire.

We work best with clients who:

✔️ Are hiring for a role that really matters
✔️ Want a precision and fit, not resumes on speed
✔️ Value a partner who listens to your needs

✔️ Are open to insights that make decisions easier
✔️ Want more than just a seat filled

Who We're Probably Not a Fit For

 

We work best with companies that value strategy and partnership. If you're looking for a quick fix or prefer a transactional approach, we might not be the right match — and that’s okay.

✖️ You need speed over strategy and long-term fit
✖️ You don’t have time to communicate promptly
✖️  You expect top talent to apply without outreach
✖️  You view recruiters as vendors, not collaborators

 

We don’t cut corners. We don’t fill seats to hit numbers. We find the people that move your business forward — and we stay with you until the right one says yes.

Our clients' words say it best.


We've earned the trust of organizations who count on us for peace of mind and reliable results.

"Kimberly (TLR Search, Managing Director) has been a great recruiting partner for us. She has been able to help us find a number of team members for our rapidly growing company. One of the things I appreciate the most is the feedback I've gotten from team members she found for us as well as folks we didn't hire. Kimberly represents the company very well in an industry that sometimes gets a bad reputation. I am blessed she assists us like she does."

As an HR leader, I've engaged with multiple search firms for high-level searches. Now that I'm on the "other side" as a candidate, I've worked with many as well. You have been one of the best, if not THE best, I've ever had the pleasure of working with. 

Not only do you know your stuff when it comes to your client's business and expectations, you are thoughtful with candidates as well. You are responsive, professional, timely and encouraging. All qualities that mean so much to candidates who are going through an emotional and uncertain time.
