An 80% repeat client rate, 90% long-term placement success, and 13+ years in business underscore a track record built on trust and outcomes rather than short-term transactions. RFT Search Group specializes in mid-level to senior leadership roles across manufacturing (plant managers, operations directors, engineering managers), distribution and logistics (VP operations, supply chain leaders), professional services (law firm partners and senior associates; CPAs and accounting talent), finance leadership across sectors (CFOs, controllers, finance directors), industrial and construction (project and operations leaders), and insurance (agency principals and senior producers).
