THE PROCESS
How Yield Search Group works.
Every search follow four steps. AI handles volume and scoring. Our recruiters bring the industry knowledge and relationship capital. You get the best of both — in 48 hours.
01
Intake — We learn your operation cold.
You submit your job description. Our AI parses it immediately — extracting required skills, compliance requirements, preferred experience, and culture signals. We also schedule a 20-minute intake call to capture what the JD doesn’t say: shift structure, plant culture, the real reason the last hire didn’t work out, production targets and KPIs the new hire will own.

02
Score — Every candidate graded before we call them.
Our AI evaluates each candidate against your specific operation — not a generic template. Scores cover USDA/FSMA compliance experience, throughput and production volume background, HACCP/SQF/BRC certifications, shift management history, and culture alignment. We only reach out to candidates who score high enough to be worth your time.

03
Slate — A decision document, not a pile of resumes.
Within 48 hours, you receive a ranked candidate slate. Each candidate includes their overall match %, sub-scores on key dimensions, a 3-sentence strengths summary, a gap assessment, and your recruiter’s recommendation: Interview, Maybe, or Pass. You pick who to meet. We coordinate everything.

Place — We close, then we stand behind it.
Our recruiters manage the process end-to end: interview scheduling, candidate prep on your operation, offer navigation, and closing. Every retained placement is backed by a 6-month replacement guarantee — if a high-score candidate doesn’t perform, we replace at no charge.

The Yield Guarantee
Every placement comes with a 6-month replacement guarantee. If a candidate who scored 85% on our system doesn’t work out within six months, we replace them at no charge. We built the scoring around food manufacturing-specific criteria precisely because we know what predicts success on the floor — and we stand behind that with our own reputation.
