About
Built by recruiters who have done it at scale.
Warrior Talent is a founder-led recruiting firm for engineering, manufacturing, and construction teams. One standard: find the people who can actually do the work.
Why Warrior
Built to keep going.
Warrior Talent is named after our founder's son, Warrior, who came into this world at two pounds and fought his way through the NICU. You don't have to be big to be a fighter. You just have to keep going.
That's the standard for every search we run: no shortcuts, no resume spam, and no handing off a hard search because it got hard. We stay on it until the right person signs.
We also run every search on our own recruiting software, built in-house, so every role is tracked, measured, and run the same way every time.
Our founder
Josh "J" Wilder
Josh started as a high school algebra teacher and baseball coach, and is the first in his family to graduate college. He moved into sales, then recruiting, and has spent his career inside some of the hardest technical and high-volume hiring pushes in the country.
He founded Warrior Talent to bring that same intensity to engineering, manufacturing, and construction teams, and he still runs searches himself.
