Augmentis | Boutique Executive Search & Talent Augmentation
Houston, TX (Remote — Nationwide)

Augmentis is the executive search and talent augmentation arm of The Work In Me, LLC, a Houston-based firm with 18+ years in the recruiting industry. We specialize in placing Accounting, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Engineering professionals — primarily serving energy, manufacturing, aerospace & defense, and PE-backed companies across the United States.

We're not a staffing mill. We're a boutique firm built on consultative client relationships, strategic search methodology, and a commitment to quality over volume. Our partners get the infrastructure and brand support of an established firm with the autonomy and earning potential of running their own desk.

Our accounting, finance, and procurement verticals are active and producing. Now we're building out our engineering practice — and we're looking for the right Independent Executive Search Consultant (1099) to own it.

This isn't just a desk. It's a vertical. You'll step into an established firm with signed MSAs, active client relationships, and hiring authorities across energy, manufacturing, and aerospace & defense who need engineering talent now. The infrastructure is built. The client base is active. What's missing is the person who can run with it.

This is a full-desk role. You'll develop client relationships, manage job orders, source and screen engineering candidates, coordinate interviews, negotiate offers, and manage placements — all under the Augmentis brand with real support behind you.

Whether you're an experienced engineering recruiter ready to go independent, a technical professional who's transitioned into recruiting, or an agency recruiter with engineering placement experience looking for uncapped earning potential — we want to talk to you.

• Own and scale the engineering vertical across Augmentis' client base, leveraging existing MSAs and client relationships from day one
• Develop new client relationships and expand engineering hiring authority contacts within current accounts
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle: job order intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and placement management
• Execute both permanent/direct-hire searches and temporary/contract placements for engineering roles
• Source, screen, and qualify engineering candidates with technical depth and confidence
• Maintain real-time activity logs, candidate tracking, and deal progress in our CRM/ATS
• Collaborate with Augmentis leadership and sourcing partners on active searches
• Represent the Augmentis brand with professionalism and consultative expertise

The engineering roles you'll recruit across include, but are not limited to:

• Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial Engineering
• Manufacturing and Process Engineering
• Machine Learning and Software Engineering
• Project and Construction Engineering
• Quality, Reliability, and Safety Engineering
• Supply Chain and Operations Engineering

Industries served include energy (oil & gas, renewables), manufacturing, aerospace & defense, and PE-backed portfolio companies.

This is a commission-based independent contractor (1099) partnership with one of the most competitive structures in boutique search:

• 50% commission on your first three successful placements — designed to get you earning quickly

• Full-desk ownership model — Your clients and candidates are yours, with 12-month candidate and 18-month client ownership protections
• Sourcing partner support — A growing network of Independent Sourcing Partners to help fuel your pipeline
• Proven methodology — The Augmentis Method provides structured training for both recruiting fundamentals and business development
