The problem
Every week a key position sits empty, someone else is doing two jobs. Projects slip, teams fall behind and your best people start to burn out.
Mexico’s executive talent isn’t on job boards or LinkedIn. It’s working inside your competitors, performing and well paid. Looking for it with a job posting is fishing with a broken net.
With nearshoring, new plants have opened and existing ones have expanded in Mexico faster than the market can develop managers. Production, quality, maintenance, industrial safety and supply chain profiles are fought over by companies in the same industrial park.
A missing plant manager shows up in hard numbers: scrap, downtime and late shipments. And the person who could fill the role is probably already running a similar operation a few miles away.

Frequently asked questions
Which cities do you recruit manufacturing talent in?
Nationwide. The process is remote and the mapping focuses on the region where your plant is, whether that's the Bajío, the north, central Mexico or the border.
How do you approach candidates who work at a competitor's plant?
Directly and confidentially. We don't post openings: we identify the people in similar positions and present the opportunity without exposing your search.
How long does the process take?
The average for mid-level positions is 28 days from briefing to accepted offer. C-level positions take 35-50 days, depending on specialization.
What guarantee do you offer?
A process guarantee agreed by contract from the start. The terms depend on the level and type of position, and they're set before the search begins.
How is ZEHR different from a job board?
We don't post openings. We run an active, confidential search among candidates who aren't looking for a job: that's the talent you never see on job boards.
What levels do you recruit for?
Mainly management, director and C-suite roles. We also support scaling startups that need their first key hires.
