Hire ITP-disciplined QA/QC Managers who catch the issue at first-pour inspection — not at turnover. Credentialed (CWI, NACE / AMPP, CQM-C), sector-fluent, and reference-verified on NCR resolution across mission-critical builds.

Example candidateA structured process for QA/QC hires where a missed inspection at pour hides for 18 months — and re-emerges as a $4M punchlist during turnover.
30-minute call. Align on sector, quality framework (CQM-C, USACE, cGMP, ASME B31.3), ITP scope, NCR governance, first-article inspection expectations, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 QA/QC Managers with delivered NCR resolution histories in your sector. Credentials (CWI, NACE / AMPP, CQM-C) verified.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Quality catches happen at inspection or they don’t happen at all. ITP discipline, sector-anchored inspection fluency, and reference-verified NCR history separate a QA/QC Manager who prevents rework from one who writes it up after the fact.
Every QA/QC Manager on the shortlist has documented inspection and test plan authorship, hold-point governance, and first-article inspection discipline. Reference-verified from prior superintendents and design teams.
USACE 3-phase for federal, cGMP validation-ready for life sciences, ASME B31.3 for pressure piping, ACI concrete for structural, NDE / CWI for weld-heavy programs. Matched to your quality regime, not generalist.
Verified from prior projects: NCR issued, root-caused, and closed within the quality management plan — not just documented and moved. Reference-verified with prior project executives and QA/QC directors.
Every candidate is credential-verified, framework-fluent, and matched to your sector. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.

Example candidate“QA/QC” means very different things across sectors and inspection regimes. Below are the specializations we recruit for:
We’ll help you scope the role on the call — inspection regime, sector fluency, and NCR governance model.
QA/QC hires live and die on inspection discipline and NCR governance. Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:
CQM-C (federal), CWI (weld inspection), NACE / AMPP (coatings), ACI (concrete), ASNT NDE (Level II / III), and sector-specific credentials (ISPE CPIP for life sciences, NQA-1 for nuclear) as required.
Reference-verified: inspection and test plans authored, hold points defined, first-article inspection scope owned. Not just plans inherited from a template folder.
Verified from prior projects: NCR issued, root-caused, and closed within the quality management plan. Not documented and dropped.
cGMP for life sciences, USACE 3-phase for federal, ASME B31.3 for pressure piping, NQA-1 for nuclear, ACI for concrete. Matched to your inspection regime.
Verified prior turnover records: QA/QC-ready package delivered at RFS, not chased down at closeout. Cx-team collaboration verified.
QA/QC Manager, Senior, and Director-level comp bands aligned before finalist interviews. Retention premiums for sector-anchored hires reviewed up front.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.
Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer. Executive search (Director of Quality) is a retained fee, typically 30–35% of first-year cash comp.
Yes. Every level — QC Inspector, QA/QC Manager, Senior QA/QC Manager, and Director of Quality. Sector-specialized roles (nuclear NQA-1, cGMP QA) route through the same intake.
Yes. Every credential is verified through the issuing body before the candidate is included on the shortlist. We flag any expired credentials up front.
Yes. Life sciences cGMP is core coverage. Every candidate is verified for IQ / OQ / PQ readiness, ISPE CPIP if applicable, and Cx-team integration on prior turnover cycles.
Yes. Every QA/QC Manager placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Multi-hire QA/QC builds (Director + Sr Managers + Inspectors) route through embedded recruiting or RPO. Common for GCs standing up a hyperscale or life sciences vertical.
Generalist recruiters can’t distinguish an ASME B31.3 QA/QC Manager from a cGMP QA/QC Manager from a hyperscale switchgear QA/QC Manager. iRecruit.co carries the sector-specific inspection fluency — every candidate is matched to your inspection regime.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the QA/QC role you need, inspection regime, sector fluency, and NCR governance — then recommend the right hire path and start sourcing.
