Josh Olgin

“After great initial questioning and discussion, the candidates were very good. We found a match within reasonable amount of interviews and time. Always there available and ready to help when I was ready. Well done DRI. Josh even went the extra mile in coming to an exhibition with candidates and to better understand our business and support our hiring process.”

“Josh was referred to me by another former colleague and I couldn’t be happier that I engaged him and his team. I have now hired several top-notch candidates that Josh submitted. I’m most impressed by how little detail I was able to provide in terms of an actual job description and how his team was still able to identify and find perfect candidates for us. Josh and his team go above and beyond to make things happen and make sure you get the right candidates that will dramatically impact your business. From start to finish, smooth and professional process that lets leaders make good use of their time while Josh and his team handle getting you good candidates.”

“Josh is a true professional. Great Communicator and always keeps his clients informed day/night, workday/weekends. Respectful of the client and companies time. A pleasure to work with. Thank you for all you do.”

“Josh was instrumental in helping me get my new position. He guided me through the lengthy interview process, was a sounding board for any questions or concerns that I had, and was an advocate for me with the company’s senior leadership team. I’ve never worked with a recruiter before but I can’t imagine the process being any easier, or more effective, than it was working with Josh. Josh even follows up with me from time to time to see how my new position is going, which I very much appreciate. I highly recommend Josh to anyone that is interested in working in the robotics industry.”

“I first came to know Josh in 2014 when I was searching for the next step in my career, after 15+ years spread across two previous positions. I was immediately struck by Josh’s approach and how it differed from all the other recruiters that were eager to show me their opportunities. He didn’t just bury me in a mountain of leads that I would have to sift through and research; instead, Josh took the time to talk to me about my career and life goals. We talked about my personal and professional interests, geographic areas I liked, expected compensation, different roles that I would be comfortable pursuing, and what kind of advancement I was expecting–everything about my *specific* job-search that was important to me–before we ever talked about any particular company or position. I really appreciated that systemic approach as it helped me quickly identify the right opportunities and I was glad to see that Josh was doing his best to fulfill the employer’s expectations while still considering my needs. It can’t be easy to manage that line between the employer’s and the candidate’s best interests, but I was happy to have Josh involved because I knew I could trust him to be fair and empathic with everyone involved. In the end, I took that next step in my career, and I think it was an excellent match for everyone involved. I keep in touch with Josh even now 6-years later; mostly to refer new graduates or industry vets looking for a change, but also to bounce ideas off him and get his insights. Thanks Josh! I really appreciate your professionalism and the pride you take in doing a good job!”

“It was a great experience to work with Josh as a recruiter. He is an active listener and helped me land in a great position. He also made some good recommendations during the negotiation stage, specifically about benefits, which helped during the transitional period. Josh did a really good job of staying engaged throughout the entire process and even checked in after employment started. I would definitely recommend Josh if you are in the job market, although he will make you talk about Browns football ( yuck ).”

I have worked with so many executive search firms over my 30+ years in the industrial automation industry, however, I have never worked with one as talented and professional as Josh Olgin. He has a high level attention – to – detail and was extremely proactive throughout the entire time that I interfaced with him. Even after he had placed me he continued to call to check on me to see if there was anything he could do to help with the transition. This is a level of customer service that I have never seen from an Executive Recruiter. I would highly recommend Josh Olgin to anyone seeking a position in the Industrial Automation marketplace. The only negative I can possibly think of is he is a Ohio State Buckeye…so with me being a Michigan grad I found it difficult to interface with him on some days! :)

“I have known Josh for some time and was able to work with him to place personnel with our team late 2017 and early 2018. Always the consummate professional, Josh identified and presented great candidates that our team gladly brought on. He works tirelessly, is always there and follows up without fail. I count him as one of the go to guys for resources in our field.”

“Josh found me my dream job in sales and automation. His professionalism and industry experience stands out and is evident since my initial contact with Josh. I have shared his services because I know the value he brings to his clients.”

“I had the privilege of working with Josh a few years ago when I started with KUKA. He was a great resource and seems to have a knack for connecting people with the appropriate position. I have referred many of my connections to Josh when they have been job searching in the past…and would greatly recommend him to anyone in the Robotic/Automation community.”

“Josh was a pleasure to work with and is a consummate professional. He carefully addressed each of my questions/concerns thoroughly and was transparent in all communications. It was evident early on that he is a seasoned veteran in the robotics industry and was very knowledgeable about the client/employer relationship, ensuring everyone’s needs were addressed. They say the best compliment is a referral – I have already passed his name along and plan to do so in the future. Thanks Josh!”

“I’ve worked with many recruiters But Josh’s level of commitment and detail to his clients are second to none. Communication and honesty is key when working in this field and Josh does both extremely well! I highly recommend Josh if you are looking for a position in Robotics and/or Automation – you will know exactly where you are in the process at all times with Josh and you won’t be disappointed. He is very good at placing people and ensuring a great cultural fit!”

“Josh is the most “career development” focused recruiter I’ve ever worked with. He is diligent with his questioning and coaching with every client, which helps ensure the client/employer relationship fits well for both parties. If you’re looking for a recruiter that listens and listens well, look no further!”

“Joshua Olgin is the real deal. During my last layoff I had the opportunity to work with a handful of recruiters but none of them were even in the same league as Joshua. He wasn’t out to make the quick buck, he wanted to ensure that whoever he placed with the companies he was placing for were happy with them and they were happy with whom he placed. He worked carefully with me to explain everything that would be happening and even helped me with some special tips and pointers on the interview. He always addressed not only my concerns but the concerns of my family as well. He even took time to explain things to my wife and answer any questions she had. He worked with the company to even get plane tickets for my son to come and visit Texas so he could “help” with the finding of our new home. Joshua continues to check in on me and offer any assistance I might need.”

“Josh did a great job matching me to my new position: he was knowledgeable about the job and my background and was consistent in following up with me and the company; he kept the process moving to a successful conclusion. He was very professional and friendly throughout the entire process. It was a pleasure to work with Josh. Top qualities: Great Results and Personable.”
