Advastar leads the way in equipment recruiting, staffing, and talent acquisition for companies that manufacture, rent, service, or operate heavy machinery. Our equipment recruiters maintain a nationwide talent pool of engineers, field service technicians, sales managers, plant managers, and parts specialists who keep fleets running and production lines moving.
Our recruiting team knows the equipment world inside and out. We understand OEM guidelines, preventive-maintenance schedules, warranty rules, and OSHA safety standards. That knowledge lets us screen candidates for technical certifications, clean safety records, and the hands-on troubleshooting skills that minimize downtime.

We turn that information into a role-specific recruiting scorecard that guides sourcing and interviews.
Our recruiters use data-driven sourcing tools to map active and passive equipment talent across construction equipment, material handling, mining machinery, agricultural machinery, rental fleets, and industrial automation. Each candidate moves through a structured recruiting workflow that includes résumé checks, technical assessments, behavioral interviews, and reference verification. Only the professionals who match your culture, budget, and performance metrics reach your desk ready for placement.
