Kevin's Story →

Forgepoint exists to fix what most agencies get wrong - clients treated like job orders, candidates placed without being heard, volume over everything. We do the opposite, and we keep it simple.

Every client gets a recruiter who knows their site and their standards. Every candidate gets a straight conversation before being put forward. One point of contact, accountable from first brief to final placement - backed by independent payroll, insurance and compliance so the service scales without cutting corners. No volume games. No overpromising. Just workers placed properly, and placements that last.

What people
actually say.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Kevin's the only recruiter who actually came out to site before sending us boilermakers. He understood the work, briefed the candidates properly, and every one of them stayed past probation. That's rare."

Mark T.
Operations Manager · Steel Fabrication
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Best recruiter I've worked with. Honest about the role, honest about the pay, honest about the workplace. Started Monday after applying the Wednesday before. Six months in and still where he said I'd be."

James R.
CNC Machinist · Manufacturing

"Other agencies sent us anyone with a pulse. Kevin actually screens people. The maintenance fitters and welders he placed are still with us twelve months on - same crew, no turnover."
