How It Works

Hire QA/QC Managers in 3 steps

A 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.

Step 01

Talk to our team

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.

Step 02

Review hand-selected talent

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.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

Why iRecruit.co for QA/QC Manager Hires

What makes our QA/QC Manager shortlist different

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.

01

ITP discipline verified

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.

02

Sector-anchored inspection fluency

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.

03

NCR resolution history

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.

Vetting Criteria

What we verify on every QA/QC Manager candidate

QA/QC hires live and die on inspection discipline and NCR governance. Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:

Credentials verified

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.

ITP authorship history

Reference-verified: inspection and test plans authored, hold points defined, first-article inspection scope owned. Not just plans inherited from a template folder.

NCR resolution track record

Verified from prior projects: NCR issued, root-caused, and closed within the quality management plan. Not documented and dropped.

Sector-specific inspection fluency

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.

Turnover-package readiness

Verified prior turnover records: QA/QC-ready package delivered at RFS, not chased down at closeout. Cx-team collaboration verified.

Compensation alignment

QA/QC Manager, Senior, and Director-level comp bands aligned before finalist interviews. Retention premiums for sector-anchored hires reviewed up front.

FAQ

Hiring a QA/QC Manager: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hire a QA/QC Manager?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.

What does it cost to hire a QA/QC Manager?

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.

Do you place QC Inspectors and Senior QA/QC Managers, or only QA/QC Managers?

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.

Do you verify CWI, NACE / AMPP, and ASNT credentials?

Yes. Every credential is verified through the issuing body before the candidate is included on the shortlist. We flag any expired credentials up front.

Do you recruit for cGMP validation-ready QA/QC specifically?

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.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every QA/QC Manager placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.

Can you build a full QA/QC department for a new sector vertical?

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.

How is iRecruit.co different from a generalist QA/QC recruiter?

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.
